A New Hand To Hold!

Image
A dear friend of mine needed a gift for a precious bundle from heaven. Her friend had a baby girl last week and needed what I call a 'WordBook' for her. The baby's name is Elizabeth, so unfortunately it is too long to create a book, so I improvised..... enter in Baby Girl and Elizabeth in beads! Here's a full view of this darling book ~ Each letter/word represents a page that can be scrapbooked with pictures of this precious new life! The Rose Red WordBook needed a matching card ~ and so here is what I created to go along with this gift. I sure hope she likes this ~ each of these books are bathed in prayer as I create them (although, often times I don't know who they are for, but the Lord does) I hope you enjoyed this quick post today ~ have a wonderful rest of your day ~ ~ hug someone you love today....better yet.....let them know ~ Blessings ~ Denise ~ Please pop in on the second page of my blog...you'll find some knitting that I created.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and having a peek as this super quick post! I hope you have a blessed day today!

Okay, so my last post was on the 8th and I can't believe it's the 20th of March...so where have I been ~ well I had a card class on the 5th and then the 12th .... and then the party started ~ Dean & I had Isaac & Austin on the 15th to the 18th ~ 24/7, as Ang & Kevin flew to Boston for a mini vacation...oh, we had a blast, but were absolutely exhausted by the time the kids got home ~ everyday was an adventure and the evenings as well ~ I was up with the kids every night at least 4 times each! yikes!!! and now I'm sleeping like a rock and getting our house slowly back to normal (what a mess) Playing in the puddles and digging into the last bit of snow in our yard...and yes, they both fell into the puddles...so much fun...I love this! And we headed to Kid City with Andrea, Seth & Owen on one of our outings ~ what a great place for kids of all ages! Not the greatest shots, but you get the idea ~ so so fun!!!! So once the kids left of Sunday, Dean & I wer

Oh what a fun day...got our home tidied...did some knitting (see my Knitting For Sale page)...and had a wonderful play time in my studio....I guess I have more tidying to do now! But I'm SO excited to share my creation with you ~ but it first started with the challenge at Our Creative Corner ...which was ...   Music can be such a motivating thing in life, why not in your papercrafting too? Take inspiration from a song and work it into any papercraft project you'd like - a card, a gift tag or some other paper craft project. Be inspired by the lyrics or the feeling you get by listening along. Just make sure your post includes the song title (and if possible the artist) that inspired you!   And I knew the exact song...and I found myself singing it the whole time I was creating ~ what a peaceful was to create! I also found two fabulous challenges at the Stamping 411 blog...the sketch 245 is found here ~ and the colour challenge 168  is here ~ I love these challenges... So fir
