Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge#16

Welcome back to another...

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge!!!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #16 was chosen by Danielle of Count Your Beautiful Blessings! The theme this week is: Twilight Music

Comment Portion: What song/music do you think of when you think about Twilight? Is there a song that just screams 'Twilight!' to you? Why?

Crafter's Portion: Music is an important element in Twilight. Let the music from the book or the movie inspire you!

Blog Candy: There are 3 different ways to be entered into January's Blog Candy. Check out Julie's post for more info here!

If you are posting to SCS, please use keyword TTIC16.

The Twilight Soundtrack is one of the best movie soundtracks that I have ever heard in a long time... I also like the "Romeo & Juliet" Soundtrack (starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes)...
My fave songs on the Twilight cd are "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse and "Leave Out All The Rest" by Linkin Park... and of course I also love Rob Pattinson's "Never Think".

Even though the songs for the soundtrack are all a perfect fit for the movie, there are a lot of others that I think would have fit in perfectly for the feel of Twilight...
Don't you just love the way certain songs can just flow right threw you...

I chose 2 of my fave Twilighty songs and made a 12x12 layout...
The song on the right is "Can I Have A Kiss" by Kelly Clarkson... (I've posted the lyrics to this song at the bottom of this post!)
The song on the left is "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams... the words are perfect, but the music maybe not so much - maybe someone can re-do it...? Here are the 12x12 details:
Bazzill Black CS; Creative Imaginations DPs and Red Die-cut DP; DCWV DPs; Paper Pizazz Vellum Dots; Prima Lollipop Licorice Flower; Prima Aloha Petals Starry Night; K&Company gems; Fancy Pants Rub-ons.

Thanks for looking... now go on and check out the other DT members projects! GO, go , go!!! ;)

"Can I Have A Kiss"

by Kelly Clarkson

Excuse me for this

I just want a kiss

I just want to know what it feels like to touch

Something so pure

Something I'm so sure of

What it feels like to stand outside your door

I'm unworthy

I can see you're above me

But I can be lovely given the chance

Don't move

I want to remember you just like this

Don't move

It's only a breath or two between our lips

I know why you left

I can't blame you myself

Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell

I tried to warn you

I've been a mess since you've known me

I can't promise forever

But I'm working on it

If I can't hold you

Can I give you a kiss

Can I have a kiss

I see that you're torn

I've got some scars of my own

Seems I want what I know is gonna leave me hungry

Don't move

I need to remember you just like this

I know why you left

I can't blame you myself

Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell

I tried to warn you

I've been a mess since you've known me

I can't promise forever

But I'm working on it

If I can't hold you

Can I give you a kiss

Can I

All I have

All I can give to you I will

Just promise this

If I can't have forever

Can I have a kiss

I know why you left

I can't blame you myself

Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell

I tried to warn you

I've been a mess since you've known me

I can't promise forever

But I'm working on it

If I can't hold you

Can I give you a kiss

Can I give you a kiss

Can I, can I

Can I have a kiss

Saturday's Project 365 Update #4

I don't like how time seems to go by so fast... I notice that each time it's Saturday Project 365 time to post :) Sorry, it's a bit late...

Here are the pics from this past freezin' week:

Sunday, 18 of 365: "Earth to Matthew"

You had to be there... Matt was just riding along when 'Pinky Dinky Doo' started singing her 'Think' song and he just paused and stared, lol! There was no way to distract him :) It was very funny! Definitely one of those moments that in order to see how funny it really was - you just had to be there ;)

Monday, 19 of 365: "I can always make him feel better :)"
It was one of the coldest days ever and the boys were actually keeping their socks on without any arguments, lol! Matt stubbed his toe on my bed, and Nicky came to his rescue ;) Awww, a hug always makes me feel better too!



Tuesday, 20 of 365: "The 44th President"
It was amazing watching history happen today...

I said to Matt: "Look Matt, that's the new President!"

Matt replied, "That's not a present Mommy, that's a man!"

LOL!

Wednesday, 21 of 365: "Will it ever melt?"

Usually, whatever amount of snow we get - it usually melts before we get more... we haven't gotten much, but it's been sooo cold that it has permanently frozen to the ground.

This is the view from our front door :)

Thursday, 22 of 365: "Bathroom Break"

We set up the dining room table today into 3 parts: Nicky's spot to do his homework/project, my spot to do some stamping and Matt's spot to color... Everything was under control, so I took a bathroom break...

4 minutes later - Matt decided to do his own separate project! Yes! He decided to color not only the dining room table and chair, but his hands, arms, feet, legs and face! and that wasn't the only things!!! When I took him into the bathroom to give him a bath - when I took off his shirt, I discovered that he also colored his chest, belly and belly button!

"Nicky, did you see what you're brother did?"

"Yea Ma, but I was too busy to help him." LOL!

Friday, 23 of 365: "Meet 'The Refrigerator'!"
We called off the search today, we found the fridge!!! It was hiding under the billions of art projects from the boys :) It's still a bit crowded, but we couldn't put it all away ;)

Saturday, 24 of 365: "Day of Reflection."
We went to my sis and BIL's house today and I forgot my camera... I should have had my sis email me one of the trillion pics that she took, lol, but it's getting late and I wanted to post this before it is officially Sunday ;) So, I decided to pick one of my favorite pics... here's Nicky holding Matt for the first time :) This moment seems like it just happened yesterday! If only in moments like this we could freeze time for a few extra hours to cherish it all a lil longer ;)

Hope you enjoyed my week! See ya next week ;)

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge#15

...it's Tuesday again! Twilight Tuesday!!! ... and Guess what?! ...it's my pick this week :)

This weeks Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #15 is all about Twilight (obviously) and it's CARS!!! Yes, cars!!! I love cars! I don't know much about them, even though I worked in the car insurance industry for over 6 years, lol!, but how can you not be drawn to that sleek and fast "animal" that gets you to places!

Here's a lil help... here you can find some info on all of the cars involved :
http://twilightersanonymous.com/component/option,com_mojo/cat,6/


Comment portion will be: What would be your ideal Twilight car? and why?



Craft Portion: Create any craft project using CARS as your Twilight inspiration. *All crafters of any type are welcome - cards, scrapbook layouts, jewelry, drawings, etc... we'd love to see it!

Don't forget to leave your comments and links at the Twilight Tuesday site... and if posting to SCS, please use keyword TTIC15.

Here's my fave car:

Ever since I was in High School, I've always wanted a Volkswagon - I like the Beetle, but any model would do :) I just love how each one seems to have their own lil personality! lol!

So, with that said, my ideal Twilight car would have to be Jacob's VW - it's practical and down to earth type of car - I would be happy with it!

... and here's what Julie has put together for TTIC's January Blog candy:

Go to here for the details :)

So here's my project :)

Warning! Longest post ever!!! Also, there may be some spoilers if you haven't read ALL of the books!

Well, I kinda assumed that someone in the Cullen household has to keep track of everyone's vehicles... maintenance checks, upgrades, etc... so here's a lil Car Guide Book :)

Bella's Honda Motorbike that she rides with Jacob in Eclipse.

Bella's 1950's Red Pickup TruckBella's "Before" car - Mercedes "Guardian"

Bella's "After" car - Ferrari

Edward's Ducari (which he decides to give to Jasper when Bella tells him that she could never keep up with him using her Honda) and "Special Occassion" car - the Aston MartinEdwards "shiny" VolvoRosalie's BMW M3Alice's "Borrowed" Porshe 911 Turbo in Eclipse

This page is for Esme... in case she ever wants to get her license :)

Carlisle's Black Mercedes

Jasper's Harley

Emmett's Monster Jeep

... and let's not forget Jacob!!! Here's Jacob's Harley
Jacob's 1986 Volkswagon Rabbit
(Back Cover)

I had sooo much fun putting this together ;) It took a lil while - but I'm so happy with the end results!
