Twilight Tuesday Sookie Vampire Challenge#3 - Sookie Stackhouse

It's the 15th of the month!!! You know what that means...???

It's Sookie time!!!

For this month's Sookie Vampire Challenge, we are drawing our inspiration from our favorite mind-reading cocktail waitress, Merlotte’s own Sookie Stackhouse!!! Craft Portion: Create a project that embodies the uniqueness that is Sookie. Embrace her character, and show some Sookie-love!

Comment Portion: What is it about Sookie that is so captivating? Why do you suppose she was so anxious to meet a vampire? Or, how do you think her life would differ if she never met Bill that night, or if she had not saved him from the Rattrays?

Choose a question or answer them all - It's going to be a FUN challenge!

Sorry! I know y'all are probably getting tired of seeing my Anya's and Ian's, but I've been addicted! They're just too darn cute!!! I really thought that I wouldn't be using them for awhile...

Plus + this was a bit hard for me - I let someone borrow my books and I had a bit of hard time trying to remember a few details...Here's Sookie! Miss Stackhouse!

I like that she's such a girly-girl!

She does her best to mind her manners and to always look her best,

just like her Grandma taught her ;)

Best of all - is Sookie's attitude to always look for the best in every situation!

Always trying to put a smile on no matter what! Isn't she adorable!?

Twilight Tuesday Sookie Vampire Challenge #1

Twilight Tuesday Sookie Vampire Challenges!!!

(Based on the books written by Charlaine Harris)

Here are the details:
-Every 15th of the month, a new Sookie Challenge will be posted.
-Everyone is welcomed to join in on the challenges, DT members too!
-To join in, all you have to do is create something based on the months challenge, link us up and leave a comment here with your link.

Our very first challenge for April is based on the first book,

"Dead Until Dark"!

Craft Portion: Create a piece that reflects book 1, "Dead Until Dark" story.

Comment Portion: What part of the book inspired your creation and/or what part of the book really stood out to you the most!

You can also join us in the Twilight Tuesday forum to discuss the Sookie Stackhouse Series!!!

I decided to create a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 layout based on Sookie's lil house, the woods surrounding it, her love for Bill and her boss, Sam's, "condition"...

The whole book was amazing! I really love how the author really brought the vamps into everyday life situations! I was expecting the same ol' Vampire meets beautiful girl, loves her, tortures her, bla, bla, bla kind of story, lol!
Ms. Charlaine, made the vamps come out of hiding and start living in the real world. It is very well written - so much so, you may wonder if there really are vampires and other supernatural beings hidden among us ;)

Layout Details:

Paper(s): Stampin Up 'Urban Garden' DP; Bazzill.

Stamp(s): Unity January KOTM 'Love, Etc.'; Unity 'So & So Loves' stamp; Inkadinkadoo Paw Print stamp; studioG Alphabet stamps.

Ink(s): Palette Noir Black; Copic Markers; Spica Glitter Markers.

Accessories: The Robin's Nest primary Dew Drops; misc. string.

Now, it's time to go over and check out what these great gals created...
