New Moon!!!

TGIF! and even more so 'cause New Moon is finally here :)
Welcome to...

Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop

AND

Artful INKable's Blog Hop

If you are following along Twilight Tueday's Hop and came from Jodi of Stamping a Latte's blog then you are in the right place! Otherwise, you'd probably would like to start from the beginning, Twilight Tuesday's blog :)

If you are following along Artful INKables Hop and came from Kristin of Artful INKable's blog then you are in th right place, since that is the starting point ;)
Artful INKables are also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop, so be sure to visit both hops for prizes!

I've been waiting for everything for such a looooong time! I couldn't decide what to make! LOL!
Sooo, I made a few cards using The Greeting Farm's New Moon inspired digital images... and I also have a few oldies to reminisce over ;)
FYI, all cards (not layout) include sentiments using Artful INKables "Fictionaly Inspired" Stamp Set.

First, since I haven't seen New Moon yet, I'm guessing that this is going to be one of the #1 scenes in the movie... Edward taking off his shirt ;)

Sparkle for me Edward!!! :)


Poor Bella... will she make up her mind???




The perfect couple! Alice and Jasper!




... and the most handsomest couple in the universe! Rosalie and Emmett!




... and here's a few things that I have made in the past ;)

Created using Neco stamp set.


Created using Artful INKable's "Into the Moonlight" stamp set.

Just Talking Out Loud ;)

IT'S ALMOST TIME!!!
What are your plans tonight??? ;)

I will be sitting here, chatting via online with my other girlfriends, eating chocolate and Ben&Jerry's (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream) while watching Twilight ;)

I'm looking forward to Sunday!!!


More stuff to look forward...
Twilight Tuesday's New Moon Blog Hop and Artful INKable Blog Hops are tomorrow!!!
Twilight Tuesday's info has been posted :)  and I'm just about done taking pics of my stuff ;)

Oh! and not to ruin the fun, but I must address my lil Twilight stalker commenter...

Dear Anonymous Twilight Commenter,
I do appreciate your caring and well meaning comments... however, I am a lover of all things and not a hater... I tend to always look for the good in people and try not to dwell on those who try to hurt me...
Anyway, just to clear things up, lol, no - I don't wish to become a vampire ;) I know that Edward is not real, but he is in my head and in my heart. He is a character that I have grown to love for so many different reasons... my family and friends, books and papercrafting are my life!
So, in closing, please find someone else to annoy with the proper ways of living life.

I've chosen to live mine, with passion, and not die of boredom :)

Thanks for stopping by again!!! See y'all tomorrow :*)

It's a Sassy Thursday!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge 55

Happy Tuesday!!!  ;)
This week's Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #55 was chosen by the talented Eve...

Make a project using a monochromatic color scheme
inspired by the Twilight Saga.

"For those who may not know or are unsure, a monochromatic color scheme uses a single color on most every layer of a project. In this type of scheme, various darker shades, grayer tones, and paler tints of the main color may be included in the palette. In addition, the one color is often paired with white or another neutral. (Wording paraphrased from About.com)"... This link from Bazzill Basics might give you some ideas!

Comment Portion: Please share your New Moon viewing plans! Who are you going with? When?

ALSO!!!...
Alison is also issuing a Special Challenge today too!!!
“Hey Twilighters! The time has come! The wait is over! New Moon is going to be relased THIS WEEK!!!
I’m betting that a lot of you have big plans; I know I do! But here’s the thing, we at TTIC don’t want to just hear about your expierience with the movie, we want to see it!!!
So pack up your camera and TAKE PHOTOS of your New Moon experience! Pics while you’re waiting in line, of you and your Twi-friends, and even the afterglow of seeing all your fave Twi-boys!
