Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge 46

Happy Twilight Tuesday to you!!! :)

I'm sorry I'm late with this and also not prepared... we had to take our 5yo to the ER last night, but all is fine now and he's almost back to his old self again :) Annoying his lil brother while watching Scooby-Doo ;)

So here is Twilight Tuesday's Inspiration Challenge 46!!!

Motorcycles & Friendship

"Have you ever worked with someone and an unexpected friendship developed? In New Moon by Stephenie Meyer we watch such a friendship bloom between Bella and Jacob as they rebuild a pair of old motorcycles. I love seeing them change from good acquaintances to having a deep, loving friendship.
I also love hearing about the motorcycles! There is just something them. While the Cullens had their fast cars, Bella and Jacob had their motorcycles!

Challenge portion: Please choose one...
1. Make a project involving motorcycles - or -
2. Make a project that you work on with a friend.

Comment portion: Again, please choose one or both...
1. Tell us about any motorcycle experience you have! - or -
2. Tell us about a friendship of yours that came about from working together.

Sorry, but my project isn't ready, I hope to finish it up later either after Nicky's follow up appointment or after dinner ;)

But here's my comment ;)

... As much as I have always wanted to ride a motorcycle, I have always also been too chicken-shit to actually hop on ;) LOL!

BUT! If Edward or Jasper were to come around, believe me, I will never say no ;) hee, hee!!!

Also, don't forget to check out this week's Twilight Tuesday Sketch 11!!!
I have a card for this too - almost done!!!
I love this sketch!!!

Now, go on and check out the amazing Team's blogs and creations!!!

*Updated* Twilight Tuesday Challenge 45

** Updated Post ***
Hi again!!!
I updated my pics for my TTIC45 layout!!! My beloved Mom ;) Critique my lil Eddie and claimed that not everyone will understand what my layout was all about!!!
GASP!!! How can you not know who he is?!?!?! Imagine that... impossible!!! ;)
I revised my layout - minimally, but enough to make Mom happy :) LOL!

Happy Twilight Tuesday!!!

It's time for another Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge!!!

This week's challenge is from our fearless leader Tonya of Stamp Happens...

"So much is happening with school starting back that we've decided to do a "free day" for our challenge this week. "

First - some announcements...

Design Team Changes!!!

Twilight Tuesday is very pleased and excited to announce that the entire guest design team has been asked to become permanent members of the TTIC DT. They have all accepted and we’re very excited to continue as a team together :)

... additionally, Jacquie of Family and Crafting, has been asked to be the design team manager and she has accepted. Yea!!!

Finally, both Beth of StampInsanity and Tonya of Stamp Happens, are going to serve as “honorary” design team members, rather than permanent ones. They won't be playing along every week, since they both have started new business ventures that are starting to take off!!! Please check out their personal blogs for more info ;)

Now onto Challenge 45!!!

The challenge portion is simply to create any Twilight themed project you desire and share it with us! No hard thinking this week ;)

The comment portion is to tell us if you are getting excited about the New Moon premiere coming up and if you are making any special plans for it."

Now, let's make this a really good one since the whole DT will be taking next week off and will resume again on the 15th :)It seems like forever that I have been saving this Jenni Bowlin DP!!! LOL!

I finally found a reason to use it!

The many, many reasons to {{HEART}} Edward Cullen ;) {{Swooning}}... I am sooooo looking forward to the new movie, New Moon!!!

The trailers are outstanding! It seems that they're going to get the story right ;)

All of the characters look great! and Jacob is, ummmm... breathtaking too! ;)

... but the scene I'm looking forward to the most is -

When Bella finally finds Edward!!!

I'll probably forget to breathe and pass out during that scene ;) hee, hee!!!
