Twilight Tuesday's Farewell Blog Hop...

It is a bittersweet Tuesday morning :)

Today is...

Twilight Tuesday's Farewell Blog Hop

First a lil info about the hop...
The blog hop starts today at 8am CST and ends Thursday, 2/18th at midnight CST. Please visit every design team members blog and you will find some yummies along the way :)

Here is the challenge from our sweet Rebecca...

"Love of books, the printed words on a page, is what brought us all together."

Create a project that uses printed text: a page from a magazine, book, dictionary, etc. within your project, as the background or focal point.


Comment portion: "I love to read the newspaper online but nothing beats a printed newspaper on Sunday mornings. And no matter how hard I try, I can't abandon books (hardcover, softcover, or paperback) to a digital reader. Are you totally digital or do you prefer a good old fashioned printed page in your hands?"

And here is my first card... a Thank You card :)

Also created using the following challenges:

- 2 Sketches 4 You Kazan's Sketch 46

- Allsorts Challenge Week 39 - 3, 2, 1 Recipe (3 Roses, 2 DP, 1 Ribbon)

- Cupcake Craft Challenge 78 - Keep It Simple

- Pile It On Challenge #6 - Flowers

It was interesting to find that this was the only dp that I had that had any type of 'print' on it and that it only consisted of letter E words from the dictionary...

After staring at it for a while, I came to see these group of words...

Here's a closer look -

They are: Event, Ever, Everyday, Exactly, Exaggerate, Exceed, Excellent, Exception, Excitable, and Excited.

These are only some of the words that I would use to describe how I have felt about being a part of this wonderful experience and this amazing design team!

There is no exaggeration to how passionate we feel about our love of books!

We are one of a kind! and no other team can ever compare to the friendships that were bonded here!

And the talent that was created!!!

I look back to our first few challenges! and we have all grown so very much in so many ways!

I want to thank Tonya for believing in me and asking me to be a part of something that I will always cherish, love and remember forever!

Thanks to all the ultimate Twilight-y girls for sharing their love, talent and support with me!

And also, a huge thanks to all our supporters and followers!

Without y'all we wouldn't have made it nor lasted so long :)

AND let's not forget...

Thanks to My Edward!!!

For being sooo handsome and for sparkling for me when I needed him most ;)

Every girl needs a sparkling fictional character to love!

Created using these challenges too:

- Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge 4 - Dazzle Us

- Our Creative Corner Challenge - Something Old That's New! (DP)

Happy Tuesday :)
{If you are looking for my Die Cuts R Us Challenge post, please scroll down, Thank You!!!}


It's time for our first Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge of the year :)

Challenge 50 ~

SPARKLE!

Create a project using something that sparkles or shines – glitter, bling, etc.

Comment: Share your inspiring resolutions for the New Year!

I do believe that I have mentioned a few New Year resolutions already ;)
But I believe my biggest one is - getting organized!!! Y'all know me, I am a forgetful person, scatterbrained ;) I overload my multi-tasking and never get much accomplished... I am working on prioritizing and doing one, maybe two things, at a time! I hope to really be able to give everyone and everything the attention that they deserve :)
 
So here is my sparkly card!

Now you had to have known that Edward was going to be involved ;) LOL!

I also got to use my new Ippity Stamp called "Straight from the Heart".

The perfect Valentine set... for anyone... for the one who sparkles the apple of your eye ;)

{{swooning!!!}}

I colored lil Edward with Copics and then used my Clear Spica Pen all over him ;)

I also used my Red pen on the sentiment and heart...

Oh, Edward! {more swooning!!!}

I reused my Red Spica pen on the inside heart and sentiment too!

... and who doesn't love bling all over the place ;)
