ISS Club Anime February Color Combo Challenge

It's the weekend! and I hope y'all are enjoying some scrappy time :)
Nicky and I stayed up and watched the whole Olympic ceremony last night! Matt and DH fell asleep around 10ish! LOL!... Nicky really enjoyed seeing all the different people walking in from all over the world; he would repeat every country's name and loved hearing them speak French...

"Mommy, I didn't know sooo many people lived on the Earth!"  :) 

Priceless!

Soooo! It's time for another Club Anime Color Combo Challenge!!!
And I chose to make lil Mayah a flower girl...

It's going to be a Happy Tuesday!!!

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday to you, my friends!
I'm sorry I'm so late with my DT challenges today...
We all know that I've been sick on and off for months now,
and I'm at my worse right now...
At the moment I'm suffering from an inner ear thing in my right ear that has it all clogged up and I can't hear a darn thing from that side, it's such a weird feeling... Once it clears up, I should get my hearing back, but will have to go for testing, etc. Fun stuff, right? hee, hee

Let's move on to the REAL fun stuff for today!!! Yea!!!

It's time for some Twilight Tuesday fun and also
InStyle Stamps' Club Anime Sketch Challenge
Please forgive me, I have had to combine the two together!
BUT, I promise you!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #61 - A Vampire Valentine
Craft Portion: Make a VALENTINE’S card/project for your favourite character or for YOUR valentine… but…. with texture!! That’s right I want you to add things like lace, raised embossing, distressed edges, fuzzy fibres, etc. anything that adds texture!
Comment Portion: Tell us your favourite Valentine’s story…Or if you haven’t got one, Tell us who you would like to snuggle up on Valentine’s day with from the Twilight Saga.


How much do you love blonde, sparkling Vampires?!?!?

Brandon!!!

Isn't he a hottie?!?!
