You know you are addicted to Twilight when the only thing you can think of for your costume is Twilight related right?
My BFF Lyndsay and I made these Twilight shirts:

The red letters are sparkly felt.  The wording is stamped in silver puffy paint…….

And just for fun……..Can you find Lyndsay’s hubby?  He was a sniper for Halloween.  So he is hiding in the bushes……..Look close……….

I’m So LOST……..{week 18}

 

This was a fun one.  I took some “workman” material I had cut it rugged to fit the card, stamped with my Dragonflycurls LOST stamp, added my images, nut and bold brads, and metal embellishments.  I think it is super fun! IMG_9431IMG_9434 IMG_9432 IMG_9433

So……I had to share this with you………Shaz has a super cool blog.  And she makes some amazing cards.  Her LOST cards put my LOST cards to shame!
Let me just share:

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #53

n59566751394_59

This week Alison is having us think about Transformation!  What a great topic.  This is what she had to say:

In Breaking Dawn, Bella transforms from human to vampire. In life, we all go through changes...though not as severe as Bella's!
What kind of changes have you physically gone through? Cut off all your hair? Dye it blue (like me?)? Nose job? Pregnancy? Lost a lot of weight?
Project: Create something that narrates a physical change you've gone through
Comment: Tell us about your change!

And this is what I came up with for this week:
 IMG_8960IMG_8965 IMG_8961 IMG_8962 IMG_8963 IMG_8964I took this little box I had been saving since valentines and did a little TRANSFORMATION with it.  I had to re-cover the tag that said chocolate pretzels!  And cover up the back of the box with the nutritional information.  I filled it with a bag of bath salts to have on hand for a nice last minute gift!  The box was so cute- I could not stand to throw it away.  So this was a perfect example of how to recycle and reuse something and transform it into something else!
 

Hope you enjoyed!

As always, our Design Team has fantastic projects to display for this week’s challenge – please go and check them out!

Carmel Corn………….

I had to share this one……..

IMG_5671

This is my friend Raimi’s recipe.  And I think it may actually come from a friend of hers!  It is the BEST Carmel corn I have ever had.  I hope you try it!

2 bags of microwave popcorn
1 cup brown sugar
1 cube butter
14 large marshmallows

On stove:
Melt butter, sugar,and marshmallows.  Cook 6-7 minutes (do NOT boil) Pour over cooked popcorn.  Make sure you have it in a big bowl…..like above picture!  Coat with spoon.

Also…..MAKE sure you remove ALL kernels from the microwave popcorn!  You don’t want anyone breaking a tooth!
If you spray your hand with Pam…..you can easily make these into popcorn balls!

SG8…………

 

Sketch%20girl%20picture

 SG8

This is my card for “Sketch Girl” #8.  It is a 7x6 card.  So it is HUGE!  I used some of my Green Tangerines kit from last month and added the wood leaf- after I distressed it a little bit.  I love this picture of Jake from Kindergarten with the class mascot Bananas the monkey. They were snuggled up in his bed- so I knew it would be prefect for the COZY frame.
