It's Christmastime!!

2011-12-12T18:33:00.000-05:00

Christmas is just around the corner and if you have little ones in school, you may be wondering, "What in the world am I gonna get my child's teacher for Christmas?" Well, This year, I have decided to get my creative juices flowing and come up with something creative and unique. After searching the web for some inspiration, I came across these amazing monograms that crafters everywhere are making for teachers! I immediately fell in love with the idea.
Now, as a teacher, I always have to ask myself what MY reaction would be if I was on the receiving end of one of my handmade gifts. Well, I don't know about you, but I know that I would LOVE to receive something like this as a gift, so I decided to make one for each of my daughter's teachers :) But since they are not all finished, I decided to just post this one......

I couldn't resist making one for myself!!

Thanks for looking :)

I've Been Framed!!

2011-02-10T21:42:00.000-05:00

Like many scrappers, my love for this hobby was ignited by the birth of a child. About six years ago, my husband and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl and shortly after that I entered the wonderful, addictive world of scrapping. What began as simple pictures and stickers slowly blossomed into a passionate love for handmade crafts. (I am sure many of you can relate!)

Like all parents, my husband and I wanted to choose the perfect name for our new bundle of joy. We both loved the name Simone. But, to my disappointment, I was not able to find the name "Simone" on any of those adorable personalized baby items that seemed to be for sale everywhere I went! Believe me, I searched in every store that I went to! Then, on one of my frequent trips to Michaels, I stumbled on some unfinished wooden photo frames and some large unfinished wooden letters. Using additional supplies, I created a personalized photo frame for my daughter. Soon others wanted a frame for their little uniquely named bundles of joy and PRESTO, a small business was born.

I have created frames for Declan, Jadiah, Hayden, Summer, Jaiden and many others. After a while, I began to move away from altering frames and re-focused on scrapping. But, once you start something, sometimes it is hard to stop!! It has been six years since I made my first frame and the business is slowly being resurrected! The design has changed a little, but they are just as cute...if I do say to myself :)

Can't forget the details!

For The Love of Cards!!

2011-02-05T23:40:00.001-05:00

I used to hate making cards. Well, let me rephrase that.....I enjoyed making them, but I couldn't bear the thought of someone tossing it in the trash once the day was past and gone. But recently, a love for card making was ignited within me!! A friend of mine ordered a set of cards and I decided to lay aside my personal feelings towards card making and give it a go. Well, needless to say, I loved every minute that I spent working on them!! I used paper from the same line (American Crafts Everyday) to make the set of eight and I am so pleased with the way that they turned out. So, now I am on a card making rampage!! I simply make them and put them in a box so that when that perfect occasion comes up, I will be ready.....with card in hand!!

Thanks for looking!!

Whose List Are You On?

2010-12-23T00:03:00.002-05:00

When my eldest daughter was born, my husband and I decided to use a picture of her for our Christmas card. And for three years, the cards were a hit.

First, we did a cute Santa pic....

Then, I was inspired by that beloved holiday classic, Rudolph....

And last, but not least, (and my personal fave)....the Grinch....

After that year, and to the disappointment of our family and friends, we decided to take a break and we weren't inspired for a few years. But this year I had an idea that I knew my youngest daughter could pull off.

Now, you have to understand, usually when we want to take a picture of Kimee, it takes a looooooooooooong time to get that perfect shot. She squirms, makes the silliest faces and has this fascination with coming right up to the lens (typical toddler!). Needless to say, my husband always gets the shot, after about 50 clicks!! But this time, THIS time, Kimee surprised us all! We got this shot after only about FIVE tries!!! And she nailed it.....wouldn't you agree??

Here is my layout..........

The caption on the inside of the card is:

We hope you're on the "nice" list!

I already have a plan for next year's card....I'm thinking that the girls will do something together.....but you'll just have to wait another year to see my vision come to life ;)

Thanks for looking!!

Has It Been ONE WHOLE MONTH??

2010-12-01T22:38:00.000-05:00

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I updated my blog!!! That is awful!! What is worse is that I have not even created anything during that time! Each day is so crazy that many of my free moments are usually spent sleeping! Does that ever happen to you?? I mean LIFE getting in the way of LIFE?? Think about the things that mean the most to you (God, family, friends, hobbies) those thing that add all of the memories that truly come together to make each day more meaningful and purposeful. Do they get pushed aside for the secondary, the mundane, but necessary daily routines that somehow unite to form those busy, stressful, and "to-do" packed days called LIFE? Believe me, sometimes I can become so focused on the latter that I begin to allow all of those "other" things that, while important, are not what I really want to define my days, my calendar, or ME. I need to stop and RE-prioritize to ensure that what I love most is actually what I do most. This doesn't always work out....and I admit that I am very blessed to have a career that I LOVE, but I think we all need to stop every once in a while and check to make sure that life is not dragging through time leaving us dizzy and disoriented. We all have to travel through life, so I guess we should choose the scenic route whenever we can.

So, speaking of what I love most.......here is a page that I created a while back :)

For My Daughter...

2010-11-02T22:34:00.000-04:00

Some may think that it not the best thing in the world having a mother for a teacher. Fortunately for me, my girls really seem to love it. Everyday when they come home form school, they go upstairs for what well affectionately call "Brown Academy". That is my time to work with them to build their academic skills. We have a lot of fun too! The girls even call me "Mrs. Brown" !!

Anywhooo......I wanted to make something for my youngest to encourage her to learn to print her name. So, I used one of my my blank CD jackets and transform it into a mini writing book.

I decided to hand write the alphabet on the inside cover so that she can have it to refer to when she is practicing her printing.

The little blue booklet is what she will use to practice her printing. This entire project was created with my guest DT kit that I received from Kreatorville Krafts.

I had so much fun creating this and I hope that my daughter will have even more fun using it!!

Look Who's Turnin' ONE!!!

Sharing My Passion

2010-10-20T23:04:00.000-04:00

I was recently asked by the owner of Kreatorville Krafts, Keandra, to be a guest designer on her blog. Now, you jump on over to her site and have a look at her fabulous work and the work of her design team! I met Keandra on Scrapbook.com and every page she posted was both unique and gorgeous. She has an old school feel, and whenever I see her work I think of Motown artists like The Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder. Trust me, her handmade embellishments are one-of-a-kind and she offers monthly kits that are the perfect combination of the latest in papers, ribbons, embellishments and stickers. She even includes her handmade art to add that perfect finishing touch to your pages and projects. Check her out....you won't be disappointed :)

Well, as a guest designer, I participated in Keandra's Kreatorville tradition of creating an "About Me" page that incorporates a head shot of me on a personalized hand drawn body created by Keandra. So here is my page......

The background paper was actually black and white, and I used archival-safe markers to colour it in. I had a little trouble coming up with a title, but then I started to think about what phrase embodies the role that every woman plays. I thought about the different roles that we play and how each one is an integral part of who we are. Then Whitney and Chaka Khan came to mind....you know the tune....."I'm every woman, it's all in me. Everything you done baby, i'll do it naturally..." So while this page is a reflection of me, it is also a dedication to every woman who juggles kids, work, spouse, dreams, goals, plans, hobbies, and life and still manages to make it. Even if you stumble, or fall, along the way, you are still fabulous; you are EVERY WOMAN :)

So, check back soon when I post the projects that I made with Keandra's October kit. Have a look at the kit......you'll want to order one to :)

Happy Birthday Donna!

2010-10-03T20:45:00.000-04:00

Last weekend my very good friend celebrated her birthday. Now, this friend of mine is probably the #1 fan of MouseyFace and has ordered countless products from me. She also has an obsession with personalized items, so she is the perfect friend for someone who has an obsession with making personalized things, me. Well, as a part of her gift, I decided to make her an altered notebook that matches the theme of her career, teaching. It was fun to make and I know that she truly appreciated it.

First Day of School

2010-09-27T17:01:00.000-04:00

I know, I know....I've been neglecting my blog :( But life has been very hectic lately. Actually, September 7th marked my first day back at school. Not only did I go back to work, but I began a new teaching assignment this year in a grade five classroom. So, I have 24 students in my care each day and so far, the journey has been amazing. But enough about my personal life.......

Each year my hubby takes photos of our girls on their first day of school, and each year intend to scrap them. Well, what actually happens is that they go in the "Photos to Scrap" box....a box that is a constant reminder of how far behind my scrap booking projects are!! Well, I finally got the chance to create pages for my eldest daughters first day of JK and SK. She is in grade one now, so I guess I am not doing to badly (but then again I still have Easter 2008 to scrap) Here are the finished products......Thanks for looking :)

She Said Yes!!

2010-08-25T23:12:00.001-04:00

It all started on June 6, 1996 on a warm summer day. Martin (my husband) and I had been taking on the phone every night until the wee hours of the morning and we were spending every day together : ) But on that day we decided to make our relationship official and become a "couple". Then on Sunday, December 19, 1999, on the bridge where I first told him that I loved him (just so you know, he said 'I love you' first and was awaiting my response), he asked me to be his wife....and I said yes! That day marked the beginning of years of memories, both happy and sad, but 14 years later, we are still together.

Actually, when we got engaged, I had not yet discovered my ~~addiction to~~ love of scrap booking, so when Martin took these photos, I just kept them in an album. I recently organized my photos and decided that it was time to give this photo the love it deserves :)

You're Never Too Old To FINGERPAINT!!

2010-08-22T02:25:00.000-04:00

Every so often I get the desire to do something different. The last time I got this urge, I shaved off all of my hair; but this time I wanted to spice up my scrap life and shake things up a bit :) While blog hopping one night (whilst the children were peacefully sleeping....) I was reading a particularly intriguing post that focused on using paint on layouts....unable to resist the urge, I quickly flipped through my photo box, selected the perfect pictures and got to work. This is my finished product..........

Now, I must admit, I didn't really take a professional approach to painting.

Basically, I used my fingers and the lid from my jar of Mod Podge to create the circles :)

This is definitely a technique that I will use in the future.

Thanks for the inspiration Keandra!!!

Journey to Size 12.....

2010-08-13T01:21:00.000-04:00

So, I have decided to take better care of my body and try to shed a few pounds so that I can return to my post marriage, baby, career etc. dress size which was a 12. Now, some of you may be thinking, "Size 12, that's not that small". But when you are six feet tall, size twelve is like size 6!!

I have acquired a personal trainer, an aerobics DVD and I have committed to eating better....the latter being the more difficult of the three pieces of my size twelve puzzle :) I created this weight loss journal to track my successes, triumphs, and any bumps in the road; I will be sure to keep you updated about my progress as I go along.

I used envelopes, my Zutter, ink, and paper scraps to created this little book. My plan is to record my weight and measurements each month along with my thoughts. The purpose of the envelopes is to include pictures that take as I make my transformation. But I won't be posting any "before" pics until I have chiseled out my beach body and I have something to brag about :) Wish me luck.....and say a prayer for me. I met with my trainer earlier today and I am pretty sure that my body will be frozen in whatever position I fall asleep in tonight!!

I Hope You Dance

2010-08-04T18:09:00.000-04:00

I am a mother to two beautiful daughters. My eldest is six and the baby is three; both of them have totally different personalties. Kimee is the more daring, risk-taker; while Simone is more cautious and becomes very nervous and anxious in new situations. For example, at the park, Simone approaches the monkey bars with extreme caution, but Kimee.....by the time I blink she is at the top yelling, "Look at me, Mommy!! I did it all by myself!!"

So, when I pray for my girls, I always find that my prayers have two very distinct focuses. For Kimee, my prayer usually sounds something like this, "Lord, please help me to allow Kimberley to take risks, even if they make ME nervous. Please keep her safe from broken, twisted, and sprained limbs. Give her a strong sense of discernment so she will know which risks are not worth taking. Amen."

For Simone, my prayers are a little different. I pray that God will give her courage and boldness. I pray that she will know that her thoughts are worth sharing and that she will always be brave enough the speak her mind. I pray that she will be more confident than I was when I was a child. And in life, when she gets the choice to sit it out or dance, I pray that she will choose to dance.
**I just used my favourite parts of the lyrics in my layout :)

I Hope You Dance

by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat

But always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small

When you stand by the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance.

True Love

2010-08-01T00:58:00.000-04:00

I have always wanted to take photos with my hubby in one of those photo booths at the mall! I know that they are overpriced and have poor resolution, but I just think they are the cutest thing :) Unfortunately, my hubby does not frequent malls, and if we do go, it is not for a leisurely stroll. He knows exactly what he wants and the fastest route to that store. He doesn't browse through the shops that he passes as he heads towards his destination, he just goes in, and gets out. When we do manage to go to the mall together, and he is willing to squeeze into that booth with me (they really need to make those things bigger!!) we usually use our $4 on a yummy frozen dessert from Yogen Fruz. I guess when you are married to a photographer and you have to choose between overpriced, poorly exposed pics and yummy, delicious frozen
yogurt....you choose the yogurt!!

But on this particular day, the stars aligned and all must have been in balance with the world because we didn't feel for a frozen treat and we were both in the mood for a few minutes of fun!! So, in we climbed, worked out our positioning, rehearsed our poses, inserted our coins, and the magic began.

I kept the photo strip on my craft table for a while, wanting to buy the perfect paper and think of the perfect journaling. Once I found the paper, I began to think of what to write. I mean, how did I feel when I looked at this strip of four mini photos?? Then it came to me. The lyrics to a song by Ingrid Michaelson entitled, The Way I Am. The words are simple, but they captured my heart :)

So, I have a challenge for you....drag your hubby to the mall, seek out one of those booths, squeeze inside together, insert your coins, snap some shots, and scrap them!! If you do, email your layout to me....I would love to see you and your true love.

Journaling

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

How Can I Say Thanks?

2010-07-18T00:13:00.000-04:00

So, it was Valentine's Day and I wanted to make something special for my husband. I began to think of the little things, those special things that he does for me that sometimes go unnoticed. By making this project, I also reminded myself about the things that really make a relationship sparkle...the things that can't be bought, but serve as gestures that make a hectic life a little easier. Those little things that are like sprinkles on a cupcake, or like whipped cream on your favourite hot beverage (for me, a Caramel Corretto from Second Cup). As I thought, I started to smile because a few particular things began to come to mind. Then I sat at my desk, and a little later, this is what emerged!

PAGE ONE: Thank you for letting me sleep in on Saturday morning, even though you're tired.

(I usually scrap on Fridays from 11pm till about 3am....we have a 3yr old and a 6 yr old.....i'm sure you get the picture!)

PAGE TWO: Thank you for driving me to work even though it makes you late.

PAGE THREE: Thank you for letting me sleep in the middle of the bed even though you have to squish to one side.

(I really can't explain this one...I fall asleep on my side....)

PAGE FOUR: Thank you for loving me.

THE END : )

Thanks for looking!!!

Mousey Magnets

2010-07-01T02:33:00.000-04:00

I LOVE making magnets!! I started over the Christmas holidays and I have been making them ever since. Actually, I don't even really give cards anymore....well that isn't totally true. I still make cards, but now I put a magnet inside rather than a printed sentiment. These magnets were created for a client of mine who wanted something unique and personal to give to her bridesmaids. Each one was so much fun to create and the theme matches the personality of the bridesmaid it was created for! Thanks for looking!!

Birthday Mini-Book

2010-06-19T23:34:00.001-04:00

What do you do with photos that you printed incorrectly??? Toss them? NO SCRAP THEM! My hubby took these photos at my youngest daughter's first birthday party and I was trying to resize them so they could work with a sketch that I really wanted to use. Unfortunately, I didn't print them quite right, but I didn't have the heart to throw them out. I don't know, I guess it felt funny throwing my one year old daughter in the garbage :) I bought this mini album at a clearance sale, and it served as the inspiration for this project.

Since the book was so small, I was able to use up some of my scraps to create this mini album that celebrates my baby's first year. So, next time you think of throwing photos out....think again, you may be inspired to create something new :)

TEXT READS: Kimee, 365 days have passed since I first met you and I love you so much, This year has been so fun and I can't wait to see all of the new challenges and joys we will experience in the years to come, Mommy"

Simply Sweet

2010-06-11T00:25:00.000-04:00

Every mom loves to capture their child's firsts. First step, first word, first bite of solid food; the list is endless. The photo's for this project were particularly special because they capture my eldest daughter's first time playing in the snow. I wanted to create something unique for her, so I got out one of my favourite idea books, Donna Downey's Creative Albums, and my creative juices began to flow. I decided to use some old CD's and create a altered CD album. I really liked the way that it turned out and I will definitely make this project again.

POEM

Falling Snow

By anonymous

See the pretty snowflakes,

Falling from the sky;

On the wall and housetops

Soft and thick they lie.

On the window ledges,

On the branches bare;

Now how fast they gather,

Falling all the air.

Look into the garden,

Where the grass was green;

Covered by the snowflakes,

Not a blade is seen.

Now the bare black bushes

All look soft and white,

Every twig is laden,

What a pretty sight!

I Love My Afro!

2010-06-08T01:03:00.008-04:00

Yes, this is me. And, yes, that is all my hair.

Only a few people have seen my hair in its natural state, so I decided to design a page that is sort of an ode to my hair. Like every woman, I too have my occasional bad hair days, and at times, bad hair SEASONS!!! But all in all, I do really love my hair. Even though it may take a long time to wash it, blow dry it, flat iron it, and style it....I still love it .
So here it is, just me loving my hair :)

SUPPLIES

Paper: Bazzill, American Crafts

Stamps: Sandylion, Imaginisce, Studio G

Other: Dollar Store, Bazzill, Making Memories, Thickers, Felt, Staples
