Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #20..........

Well the talented Jen picked our theme this week! And if you could not guess from the picture......it is Italy this week!
I struggled with this one. I was hoping for some stamp of Italy or something along those lines. And I just don't have anything like that. I even went to my friend Denise who has all kinds of stamps and things like that. She had everything Paris- but nothing Italy. So I decided to take a pin that my BFF Deb gave me and make a card out of it. I hope you like it!
I'm a Lover, not a biter. Okay I am NOT even gonna comment on that one!

Here is the full card....................

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #19.........

I have to admit I got pretty excited when I saw the challenge this week! Our fearless leader Tonya picked an AWESOME one this time!

Twilight Villains! And even better than that was when Sweet Dani sent me a sweet little RAK- and inside was a cool trading card with none other than Victoria on it. I have to say out of all the villains I like her best. She is very sneaky- and you never know what she is going to do next.

So with that said- here is my project:
I made a card- green of course (my fav) and to match her "kiss me I am Irish shirt"!
I stitched the trading card onto the front of the card- which allows for another flap to write something in. I added a "V" which could stand for Victoria or Villain.
Hunter becomes the prey..............

So there you go! Hope you like it!

Did Anyone Else Notice?

I just got my Memory Makers magazine for March/April and the binding has 3 staples instead of the normal spine that shows the title etc.?

Saving For Disneyland........................

The family is saving for a trip to Disneyland. I took this HUGE nut jar when Rob was done with it and made it into a Disneyland jar.




The kids are adding their money as well. Rob put a 5.00 in there the other day and told me not to steal it to go to Starbucks......

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #18............

This week is brought to us by the wonderful Julie!

Twilight Valentine's!


The creative part of the challenge is to make a Valentine that could be given to one character from another in the Twilight world.
I made my card to be from Alice to Jasper.......................


I did some hand stitching with some black cording-
I used my 7 gypsies stamp for the mine mine mine image. I love that stamp!
I think that is just how Alice feels about Jasper........mine mine mine!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #17.........

Can you believe it is number 17? Well I would say guess what this week's theme is....
But there is a picture of Jacob- and it's Beth's turn to pick. And if any of you know Beth.......
Well - let's just say she is all about team Jacob!
So my project this week is based on the friendship and relationship between Jacob and Bella.
I made a journal (well bought the journal at Borders- plain white) and souped it up a little with some "TWI"
I think this quote is perfect for Bella and Jacob.
