New Moon Blog Hop!

I had so much fun playing along with the Twilight Tuesday anniversary blog hop a few weeks ago that when I saw they were doing a New Moon hop I knew I had to join in the fun again! If you are just joining in, be sure to start back at the very begining (Twilight Tuesday blog) to take in the whole hop! If you got here from Donna's blog you are on the right path!

I have to tell you that New Moon was NOT my favorite book in the Twilight series. The first time I read New Moon I nearly ruined my book by soaking it with tears. There are several pages that are warped and wrinkled beyond repair from tears being dripped all over them. Even after reading and/or listening to the audiobook 6 times the heartbreak when Edward leaves does not get any easier for me. Every time I start to get close to that part in the book I get a huge lump in my throat. As I've clearly expressed before, I am forever Team Edward! When I read New Moon I was still on the Twilight Edward high (I had just read Twilight the day before - I was one of those 4 books in 4 days girls) and had no tolerance for anyone else. Then New Moon Edward ripped out my heart. I was so mad at Edward for leaving and then so mad at Jacob for...nothing...I was just mad. I wasn't thrilled about Jacob in New Moon..I actually did not like him one bit. BUT....after about my 4th time through the book I started to warm up to Jacob. I'm still team Edward but I can definitely tolerate Jacob. Since I showed my love for Edward in the anniversary hop I decided to show my like for Jacob in this one.
My card is simple because I figured Jacob wouldn't approve of a fancy, frilly card, LOL.

Thanks for stopping by today! Next stop on the hop is my stamping pal Jackie!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge

It's Tuesday! That means it is time for another fabulous Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge. This week we have a super fun inspiration challenge. Our challenge for you is to click on THIS LINK and pick one of the fabulous girls dresses as an inspiration piece. There are tons of different dresses to choose as your inspiration. If you play along, please be sure to let use know. Leave a link to your project on this blog post or use keyword JBE080 when uploading to SCS or PCP.

I chose this dress as my inspiration piece:

I actually think this dress is sort of hideous, LOL, but it gave me lots of colors to work with! For my card I used the totally adorable Stampavie Gillian F Roberts Snowman stamp. I just adore these awesome Stampavie winter images. I colored the image with Copic markers and added some Sparkly Fluff. The designer paper is My Mind's Eye. This paper is just GORGEOUS! Jacksonbelle has several different lines of My Mind's Eye in stock. I finished it off with some ribbon and a Making Memories button.
