I Love Babies!!

One of my favourtie things to make are cards...especially for babies :) As a mother, I often look back at the cards that were given to me at baby showers, our girls' baby dedications, their birthdays, and I remember those precious moments. I reminisce on the milestones that they have reached and I often end up wiping a tear from my face as I ask myself, "How did they grow up so soon?" So whenever I am given the opportunity to create a card for a baby, I think about making it extra special so that when that mother looks back on it, she too can experience one of those beautiful moments. 

This past weekend, my friend's sister dedicated her baby to the Lord and my friend asked me to create a card that she could give to her. Inspired by the shape and sweetness of this baby bottle shaped card by Vili's Art, I made a few changes and here is my final creation....

As an extra special touch, I decided to add a handmade envelope, complete with a photo of the little angel as the inside liner :)

My TWEEThearts

I LOVE MY GIRLS! Most of the pages that I make are the moments that I, or my hubby, capture as we go through life enjoying the blessing of family that God has given to us. These girls are our world and they, as I often tell them, are the best "things" that I have ever made. They truly are my "tweethearts". 

As I created this page, the Lord reminded me of a scripture in the book of Matthew; it is actually my husbands favourite scripture. Matthew 6:25-34 reminds us that we do not need to worry about anything because we are more valuable to than the birds, and our Lord provides for them. Just as they do not have to worry about how their needs will be met, neither do we. He will provide for us. 

If you have a moment, read this scripture in The Message version. It really puts things into perspective.

It's Been A Long Time....

Well, it has been almost TWO YEARS since my last blog post, and I have decided to resurrect MouseyFace and begin sharing again. I have still been scrapping and creating, but sometimes life gets in the way and that is exactly what happened......for two years. So while I can't promise a daily update, I can commit, to a weekly update.....well I will try my best, my very best.

It's Christmastime!!

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 :)
