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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES

Hi Everyone

Here at last after having technical nightmares!!

System up-dates to my computer and IPad are causing me so much grief (I would call them far from up-dates .. .. it feels more like "learn how to use your gadgets all over again") .

Hopefully my youngest will be able to press a few magic buttons for me (fingers crossed) so I can add my photographs and watermark exactly as I did before .. .. but in the meantime I have had to make do with the following .. .. and even that had to involve taking a picture on my phone, emailing it to myself and getting my head around a new programme to add a watermark.  Not an ideal finished look, but better than nothing I suppose.

It has taken me longer to get a picture added to my post than it has to make the card in the first place!


This used:

Image:  Woodware Clear Stamp Set "JGS290 - Bubble Bloom Felicity"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Snippet from an old paper stack from The Works
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine


So that is me for today.  Off to sit with Mum in a bit.

Sadly she is not playing ball at all and is refusing to eat, drink and take her meds most days .. .. naughty girl!  She pulls all the covers over her head and tell people to "go away and leave her alone" :-(

Although she is in a Nursing Home we as a family still take it in turns to go and sit with her every day but we rarely get anything out of her.  She just wants to sleep, bless her.

Anyway, time to get my bits together for visiting today.

Have a good one everyone.
