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 KISSMAS

Hi Everyone

Are you ready for a good weekend?

There is a special one ahead at the House of Hearts as my lovely Mum is going to be a whole 90 years old on Sunday!

Unfortunately the current climate means we can't celebrate as a whole family, like we did when she was 80, but we will all be doing our best to make sure she has a special weekend, and one she will hopefully look back on with fond memories .. .. .. and fingers crossed there will be an opportunity to all celebrate together in the not too distant future.

But in the meantime, I have started my Christmas cards for September .. .. .. here is September Christmas card number one:



This used:

Image:  Stampavie "GR003" Mistletoe & Mice (another very old and very loved image from the past)
Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "Aracne Condensed Regular"
Backing Papers:  Make and Create "Magical Christmas"
Spellbinder Dies:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I am taking my card over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme this fortnight is "Festive Furbabies".

Enjoy your weekend everyone and I will catch you again soon.

A lovely Christmas card and such an adorable image. Congratulations to your Mum on reaching 90 and I'm sure she will enjoy the celebrations even if they aren't what you would have liked. Better to stay safe than take risks as some of the idiots out there are doing!!

Happy 90 Birthday to your mum!!!! So glad she has been able to stay healthy with all this mess going on around the world so she could reach 90! I'm sure you will make her lots of 90th birthday memories, they will just be a bit difference this year. Your card is adorable! I am so in love with that sweet image, the tree paper you used is so pretty and I love the pinky red paper strip. I really love kraft card on a Christmas card, not sure what it is, but just think it is so pretty on a Christmas card! Enjoy your mum!!!! Hugs, Brenda
