A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

COULD THIS BE SUMMER?

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday .. .. what a lovely start to a bank holiday weekend.  I hope it is going to last!

Sadly so far the day has been taken up with the dreaded washing line being "over used" but hopefully that isn't going to be the story for the whole three days!!

I did make a little escape into my craft pod though as I had a card I wanted to finish .. .. .. 





This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Digi Stamp Boutique "Large Happy Birthday Set - Blue"
Backing Papers:  Papermania (sorry I don't have the carrier sheet to give the name but I think we have all seen them as they are quite old)
Memory Box Butterfly Dies:  Kaleidoscope Butterfly and Moonlight Butterfly
X-Cut Palm Punch:  Daisy
White Gel Pen
Lace, Ribbon and Pearls from my Crafty Stash Box

Off to the washing line again now .. .. sigh!!!

But before I go I thought I would just give you the heads up on two special happenings that are occurring over at Digi Stamp Boutique.

Firstly there is a

So that is me for today.  Time to close the craft pod door for a little while .. ..and can you believe I had to pull the blinds down as it was far too bright to work!  Not very often we get to say that is it?!?

Enjoy the rest of the day .. .. and slap that sun cream on!!

Hi Jules, a super card and a great sentiment, great to be able to use it instead of an image.
It was my turn on the Allsorts team to use a DSB image and I have used one that I bought yonks ago, had to check though that it is still available and it was, but I could have asked for an image but thought I would get ahead for my Daughter who would no doubt be asking me for some Fathers Day cards.
I will certainly have a look at the offers for this weekend as I really do not like to ask for freebies.
Same with me regarding the washing but I cheated a little bit only washed things that did not need ironing, like bathrobes, towels, etc.

Have a good week
