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.

RELAX

Hi Everyone

I hope your day has been a good one.

We have actually had some much needed rain in our neck of the woods today.  But nothing like enough to make a big deal of difference to our reservoir levels.

But what I have noticed this week is that the nights are starting to draw in now .. .. followed by a shock I got at the post office when I noticed they had tons of calendars and diaries for 2026!!!!!  Eeekkk!!!

Anyway a quick share of one of the cards I managed to make today.

This used:

Image:  Beach Hut Collection from TheMOGallery via Etsy (which when I went to link seems to have disappeared) .. .. hopefully not permanently as they had some beautiful images that print so well.
Sentiment: Computer generated
Backing papers:  Pink Petticoat (also no longer trading) plus a snippet from Snippet Mountain
Corner Rounding Punch
Hot Fix Nail Heads
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I am entering this into the Little Red Wagon Challenge where the theme is "for a gentleman".

Hope everyone's week is going well .. .. .. the weekend is nearly here!!
