Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge#37 - Romance

Happy Tuesday to you :)

I hope that y'all are doing well! I am still really not feeling good and it frustrates me that my scheduled post for today did not only NOT go through, I couldn't change it to post either - had to delete it and start over, so frustrating on sooo many levels... Mr. Blogger has not behaved very well with me - I think there may be some changes to be made... very soon...Short and sweet post for me today ;)

Today's Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge is brought to you by my Australian buddy, Donna of Donna's Diary...

undeniable, intense and passionate love they have for each other....

For so many of us, it is what draws us back to reading the books over and over again...."

Creative Challenge: Do you have a favourite Edward and Bella, Jacob and Bella or even a Alice and Jasper romantic moment? Create something that celebrates their love or how about creating something for that special person who you love.

Comment Challenge:Tell us about your most favourite romantic moment... be it in the books or real life!

Update, 2 Layouts and a Card!!!

Ok, as crazy as life has been for me lately, I managed to create these 2 layouts and card while the boys, hubs and pup were napping the other day! I had just received this fab kit from Freehand Scraps in the mail, and being upset that all of my precious papers are stored up right now, I couldn't resist playing with my new kit ;)

As I'm typing now, at midnight!, everyone is sleeping again, and even though they all now have ear infections, everyone's temps are normal! Yea!!! It's been a rough and long week...

and even though my temp at the moment is at 102.3 (I guess since I was the last one to catch it, I have another day or 2 to go), I can't sleep... so, I drank 3 Tylenol's with some water, turned on the tv, watching HGTV (thanks to Mom, I'm hooked! lol!)

... and I'm finally posting my stuff ;)

Aren't these 2 the cutest lil boys ever!?!?!!!

This is Nicky's best bud, Darien :) They really took a liking to each other a few weeks after they started Pre-K... they compliment each other sooo well! It's sooo cute to watch them play and interact with each other! Even though Nicky's a baseball fan and Darien is a soccer fan, they've agreed to not argue about it and do other things instead! LOL! They're both such lovable lil guys :)Ok, so I tried to do the lovely Jacquie's ofFamily and Crafting - Twist & Smoosh Ribbon Technique! Ummm, I think I did the twisting ok, but not enough smooshing...??? LOL! I'm thinking I need to practice some more! hee hee!

"Best Buds" Layout Details:

It is extremely rare for me to be in a pic, let alone be in a pic all on my own! lol! I just had to scrap myself!!! ;)
... and this roller stamp that came in the kit was sooo much fun to use! I will definitely be using it a lot, it will be perfect for so many projects, especially for my boys layouts!When I opened my kit, I immediately fell in love with these butterflies from Heidi Swapp! I adore butterflies! They're just perfect for me :)

... I just HAD to add some Primas! I've never met a girl who doesn't love her some Primas!!! ;)"Me" Layout Details:

I just had to use the rest of this Journaling Card from Jenni Bowlin!!! I am loving the simple and clean look that I have been seeing on a lot of other blogs... I just had to give it a try too :) "Hi" Card Details:

I think that the Tylenol has finally kicked in and that I have tired myself out!

I am finally off to sleep! Hopefully everyone will wake up all nice and refreshed for a fun day at my sisters house! Boys are going to watch movies, while the gals are going to be getting their scrappy groove on ;) We can definitely use a change of scenery away from this messy place!

... btw! I have a ton of more stuff from this kit! I will definitely be creating more with it and I will definitely be buying more kits from them too!!!

Have a fab weekend :*)
