Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge!!! This week our latest exciting challenge is brought to us by our Design Team Leader, Margie. Who, without her, I may have never even found out about TTIC! Here’s what she wrote:“I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still celebrating the release of New Moon! and my b’day is in a few days! So I’m in the mood to keep on celebrating it all right into the New Year! “
Challenge: Create a “Celebrating” project for the vampire-lover in your life! It can be any Holiday – birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s, etc. Have a ton of fun with this one and don’t hold back!
Comment: There’s no denying that we all have wish lists, especially with the holiday season on us! Some of our lists are a little more practical than others… Please share with us with what is on your “not-so-practical” wish list??? I decided to make a Birthday card. I have a number of those to do this month (both of my babies’ B-Day’s are next week!!!!!), and I love doing cheery cards. Here’s my creation:
I used “Rosalie” from The Greeting Farm ltd. digis. I put a party hat on her, and gave her a sparkly broach. She is all ready to par-tay!!!
I also made her skin shimmer with paint I mixed myself. I used acrylic paint in the color “sand” and some Pearl Ex (Jaquard) medium in pearl white. I love the effect. It’s got a hint of shimmer, not too much. I colored Rosalie in with my Spectracolor pencils. I used the “Rosalie” stamp from Artful INKables, a bit o’ Stickles and some colorful paper. That’s about it!So Margie asked us to include our “not so practical” wish list! Well, it just so happens that I had already written one with the anticipation of putting it here on my bloggy so that ‘”just in case” a special Northward resided elf (or anyone else! ;} ) had nothing better to do than check out my 21st Century Pillow Book! Here’s my silly list in no particular order:1. Spectracolor Replacement Pencils: #1441 & 14132. 10” High Sided Skillet3. Bombshell Stamps4. Those freakin’ INSANE stamps from Sweet Pea Stamps5. Black Dagger Brotherhood Books (I’m not picky… I’ll take any!)6.Cricuit Expression (I know, I know…it’s from The Dark Side! I’ll even take a Silhouette!)7. Sesame Street 40th Anniversary DVD8. Those awesome Spica Markers9. New Oven Mitts (silicone?)10. A Dustbuster (Hey! I have two kids!)11. A whole day with just my husband!!!12. Wii Sports Plus (Yoga!)13. A Supercharger for my PT (I’ve been really good this year!!!)14. Clothes/Boots (Small/ 8W)15. Skull Candy Head Phones It’s not too unpractical is it? ;} I have to say though, my husband is SO good at gift giving! He always gets me the coolest stuff! Things I would never have even thought of, but he knew how much I’d love it! He is so attentive, he just knows what I’ll love! So, now it’s time for you to check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations: Dani ~ Donna Erica ~ Jen ~ Margie ~ Rebecca ~ Tonya
