Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop

AND

Artful INKable's Blog Hop

If you are following along Twilight Tueday's Hop and came from Jodi of Stamping a Latte's blog then you are in the right place! Otherwise, you'd probably would like to start from the beginning, Twilight Tuesday's blog :)

If you are following along Artful INKables Hop and came from Kristin of Artful INKable's blog then you are in th right place, since that is the starting point ;)
Artful INKables are also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop, so be sure to visit both hops for prizes!

I've been waiting for everything for such a looooong time! I couldn't decide what to make! LOL!
Sooo, I made a few cards using The Greeting Farm's New Moon inspired digital images... and I also have a few oldies to reminisce over ;)
FYI, all cards (not layout) include sentiments using Artful INKables "Fictionaly Inspired" Stamp Set.

First, since I haven't seen New Moon yet, I'm guessing that this is going to be one of the #1 scenes in the movie... Edward taking off his shirt ;)

Sparkle for me Edward!!! :)


Poor Bella... will she make up her mind???




The perfect couple! Alice and Jasper!




... and the most handsomest couple in the universe! Rosalie and Emmett!




... and here's a few things that I have made in the past ;)

Created using Neco stamp set.


Created using Artful INKable's "Into the Moonlight" stamp set.

Just Talking Out Loud ;)

IT'S ALMOST TIME!!!
What are your plans tonight??? ;)

I will be sitting here, chatting via online with my other girlfriends, eating chocolate and Ben&Jerry's (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream) while watching Twilight ;)

I'm looking forward to Sunday!!!


More stuff to look forward...
Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop and Artful INKable Blog Hops are tomorrow!!!
Twilight Tuesday's info has been posted :)  and I'm just about done taking pics of my stuff ;)

Oh! and not to ruin the fun, but I must address my lil Twilight stalker commenter...

Dear Anonymous Twilight Commenter,
I do appreciate your caring and well meaning comments... however, I am a lover of all things and not a hater... I tend to always look for the good in people and try not to dwell on those who try to hurt me...
Anyway, just to clear things up, lol, no - I don't wish to become a vampire ;) I know that Edward is not real, but he is in my head and in my heart. He is a character that I have grown to love for so many different reasons... my family and friends, books and papercrafting are my life!
So, in closing, please find someone else to annoy with the proper ways of living life.

I've chosen to live mine, with passion, and not die of boredom :)

Thanks for stopping by again!!! See y'all tomorrow :*)

Twilight Tuesday Bonus Challenge with The Greeting Farm!

Woo Hoo! How exciting is this!?!?

Twilight Tuesday is mingling with The Greeting Farm to celebrate the release of their new Wild Sprouts “Edward” stamp!!!

Who can resist lil' Eddie?!?!

Most of you already know - he is my MOST FAVORITE STAMP in the universe!!! ;)

Craft Portion: Create a piece using the classic Twilight color scheme of Red, Black, White and/or Silver, AND you must use a stamp from The Greeting Farm to play along.

Comment Portion: "So many of us turn to these classic colors for Twilight projects, which are clearly inspired by the covers of the books. However, we’d like to know if you have other favorite colors to use for Twilight projects. Do you have any other interesting colors that you like to use?"

Tell us about it!!! Leave your comment on the Twilight Tuesday bonus challenge post!

Ummm... so, I think that I mentioned that this is my fave stamp ;) EVA!!!
So, I went a bit overboard with my lil' Edward stamp and I have 5 cards to share with you!!! YES! You read that right! 5!!!
hee, hee! I had a lil help from 2 lil mini-designers ;)

Here's my first card... Oh! and keep in mind... Alice designed all of his clothes! hee hee
Isn't he the cutest lil guy in the whole entire world!?
I used Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #95 for this card...

It's hard trying to keep the cards as masculine as possible! Now that I know how to tie bows {yea!!!}, I really wanted to add it on... and then, I didn't want the flower to be too flowery, lol, so I altered it a bit by cutting the petals down...

"Bite Me" Card Details:

Paper(s): Bazzill; Making Memories Starry DP; misc. stripe DP.

Stamp(s): The Greeting Farm's "Edward" Stamp; Artful INKables "Bite Me" Sentiment.
Ink(s): Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Copics; Atyou Spica Glitter Markers; Stampin Up Markers.
Accessories: Altered Prima Flowers; Dew Drop; Making Memories "Black Tie" Silver Ribbon.

On each card, you might notice that lil' Edward goes through some skin and hair changes! I was trying to figure out which colors work best for the ultimate "Edward look-a-like"!

Here's my 2nd card...

I made up my own sketch for this card :) I've never done that before!
This card is my 5yo's fave one!

He thinks that this is the one that looks the most vamp-y!

Vampy Card Details:

Paper(s): Bazzill; Misc. DP.

Stamp(s): The Greeting Farm's "Edward" Stamp

Ink(s): Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Copics; Atyou Spica Glitter Markers; Stampin Up Markers.
Accessories: Making Memories Brads; Misc. Ribbon.

... and here's my 3rd card!

Hmmm, looking at him now... we don't think he looks so Edward-like... his hair is too light...

Is that you, Jasper??? ;)

"Jasper-y" Card Details:
Paper(s): BasicGrey; Bazzill.

Stamp(s): The Greeting Farm's "Edward" Stamp; Artful INKables Sentiment Stamp.

Ink(s): Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Copics; Atyou Spica Glitter Markers; Stampin Up Markers.

Accessories: Misc. brads and flowers; Fiskar Lace Corner Punch.

So, which card do you think looks like Edward the most???

Several members of the Twilight Tuesday DT will be playing along,

Now, I would like to introduce to you to my 2 mini-designers... Nicky and Matt :)

Here's Nicky's card!

Nicky has seen the beginning of the movie up to the part where Eggward "flips" the apple scene!

"Ma! That is the coolest thing ever!!!"

Everytime he sees an apple - he kicks it across the room!

Being 5 1/2 years old, he is very observant!

See closely, lil Eggward is wearing the same clothes as Eggward-doll AND see Apple DP AND the buttons represent Eggwards fave colors!!!
LOL!
Here's Matt's card!

Being that he just turned 3, he has never seen the movie,

but he wanted to make a card too since Big Bro had so much fun creating his ;)

All Matt really wanted to do was hold Eggward-doll, LOL!

... but then he finally decided and said...

"Eggward needs that flower paper, Mommy! It will make him happy!"

Who can argue with that??? LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Wednesday :)

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge#36 with Artful INKables

It's Tuesday!!! Twilight Tuesday is sooo excited to announce that we have a partner for today’s challenge —
Artful INKables!!!
To celebrate the release of their two new stamp sets called Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired, we’re working with the Artful INKables team on today’s challenge!!!

Artful INKables was founded by Kristin Soboloski to express her love of rubber stamps, art, and all things crafty. After crafting for many years, Kristin began to design her own rubber stamps and her company was born.
And about these new stamps…you have got to see them for yourself! They’re the buzz of the online crafty community! Our Design Team loves them and we’re sure you will too. And you will definitely recognize the inspiration behind them.
Visit Artful INKables‘ store to check them out and get your own sets! You’ll also want to check out their new Vampire Romance-Themed Pewter Charms Set; they’re beautiful and would be a great addition to any vampy project!
Now…brace yourself for more good news…AMAZING BLOG CANDY!!
Kristin from Artful INKables has generously provided us with three sets of her new stamps, along with a set of the Vampire Romance charms, to use as giveaways!

See below for details. Comments can be left until Monday, June 29th, at 11:59 p.m. CST. Only one entry per person will be in the drawing, but feel free to comment as many times as you like!
This week's Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge theme this week is...

What Says Twilight To You???

"So many things say “Twilight” to the multitudes of Twilight fans. What images do you think of when you think about the Twilight books and movies?"

Craft portion: create a piece that expresses what comes to mind when YOU think of the Twilight saga.
Comment portion: Many people often say that reading the Twilight saga has been life-changing. Please share how the saga has changed your own life or made you view life in a different way.
