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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone

Another day done and dusted.

I am pleased to say that nearly all of the remaining plants have now got new places to grow in the garden (apart from just a few) but I will find somewhere to squeeze them in!

The gardening started really early before the sun became too hot and strong and later this afternoon I spent time under the garden umbrella colouring a few images.  

None of my images have been used for this card though.

I used an old paper pad from Kaisercraft that had just a few sheets remaining and thought it fitted well into Fezziwig's Festive Frolics where there is a picture for inspiration.  I have already entered once this fortnight but decided to play along again:




This used:

Paper Pad:  Kaisercraft "Silver Bells"
Silver Card
Silver Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

This is the inspiration image .. .. and I was inspired once again by the colours and felt the lovely baubles on the background paper match those in the picture really well

So that is me for today .. .. with my 4th Christmas card for June done and dusted. 

Catch you again soon.

Morning Jules...Lovely bauble Christmas card, like the colours and as always perfectly stitched..
It does get very hot very quickly at the moment and the garden needs plenty of water...hopefully with the rain and thunder coming in we can have a night off from watering...

You are a busy lady as always Jules! Glad you got the plants in except for a few. But I know you will get them in soon too. This card is stunning-those papers are stunning! I love the colors in these papers and you have show cases them so well with your design and stitching. You are doing great with getting 4 Christmas cards made each month! Much better than me even getting one made. I need to get on the ball! Hugs, Brenda
