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.

HURRAY FOR THE WEEKEND

Hi Everyone

Hurrah .. .. .. the weekend is here and I am going to treat myself to a much overdue weekend of "chill time"!  (Please say the world doesn't have different plans for me).

Yesterday was our youngest son's birthday .. .. .. .. so a music themed card was in order and this year I came up with this card for him.  Not sure what the name of this type of card fold is .. .. but it is one I love using:





This used:

Image:  Etsy "Piano Keys" by Blessings Etc
Backing Papers:  The Works
Distress Ink:  Weathered Wood
Spellbinders Circular Die
Cord
Charm
Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

No sentiment on the front, each one I tried took away the impact of the lovely piano key image .. .. but there were lots of lovely words inside on the sections you can't see (those are private .. .. I don't want everyone to know how soppy I am LOL!!!),

So enjoy your weekend everyone .... .... I hope it can be as relaxing and lazy as I am hoping mine will be.

Glad you finally got a lazy weekend Jules! What an amazing card! I have no clue what type of fold that is either, kinda' reminds me of a joy fold card, but not quite. What ever it is, I love it. The piano keys are fabulous and so interesting. Loving the back ground paper and the musical thingy on the ribbon-can't remember what it is called! lol I can imagine your son loved it. No sentiment was needed on the front, and trust me you aren't the only sappy mom. lol Hugs, Brenda
