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.

SENDING CHRISTMAS WISHES

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a good weekend.  Our weather was fantastic .. .. and it has been today too.  

It would be lovely if Mr Sunshine decided to stay around for a while.

I am here today with my second Christmas card for September.  It is the result of my first play using the new style of Lili of the Valley Digi Stamps. 



This used:

Image:  LOTV "Sending Christmas Wishes"
Backing Paper:  LOTV "Krafty Red and White"
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine

For anyone who hasn't seen this new range from LOTV - you layer images on top of patterned paper (it will work with any digital papers).  The image remains white on the patterned paper so you can colour it

The images come with full step by step instructions on how to use them and I couldn't wait to have a try.  

Really pleased with how this has turned out .. .. might have to nip back and pick up a few more images before the sale ends!

You are certainly getting on with your Christmas cards for this month. This idea is a new one on me which I will maybe investigate because LOTV always have such super images. Enjoy the sunshine.

Oh my goodness, this is such a sweet Christmas card Jules! I love this image, who wouldn't?! You have colored this little cutie pie up so cute. Loving the background too. Love the whole dang card! How interesting, I will have to check out these digi's. I like how you can put it on a background paper and still be able to color it. Very cool indeed. Hope to see more of these from you Jules! I hope your sunshine sticks around too. Ours has been hit or miss. Very chilly here this morning, down to 45. Brrrr, not ready for old man Winter to come! Hugs, Brenda

A really super card, a great image and the background papers are really nice, especially as they are in a totally different colour which works really ell with th images. Not looked at LOTV products for ages, must rectify that.
