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!

Welcome to the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge Anniversary Blog Hop! If you arrived her from Eve Fowler's blog you are on the right track. If you are just joining in, be sure to start back at the beginning (The TTIC blog). You won't want to miss anything!

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration challenge! For those of you unfamiliar with TTIC, it is a super fun weekly challenge inspired by the Twilight series of books. Those of you who know me well, you know that I am completely in love with these books. Funny thing is, a year ago I knew nothing about Twilight what so ever! I hadn't read the books and knew nothing of Edward Cullen...can you imagine how sad my life must have been, LMBO! Then by chance one day I read about the TTIC on my friend Rebecca's blog. Honestly I didn't really think much of it, just looked at her lovely creation. Then as the days passed, I kept seeing more and more and more posts on her blog about someone named Bella...and then Edward...and more and more..and I was thinking "What is up with this lady?" Seriously, LOL! So after reading several of Rebecca's Twilight blog posts I decided that I had to check out this "Twilight" she kept talking about. I bought the book the day before Thanksgiving last year. We were going to be at my parents for Thanksgiving so I figured I'd get a little reading time in. I started the book after we finished Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday and by Sunday night I had read Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Yep...4 books in 4 days! It is a good thing my husband was off of work for the holiday weekend (so he could tend to the kids) because my mind was forever lost in the world of Twilight. I have now read or listened to (I have all 4 audiobooks on my ipod) each book at least 6 times. I have walked through the grocery store listening to New Moon with tears pouring down my face and I have laughed out loud to myself on the city bus listening to Bella say "Why am I covered in feathers". I am forever grateful to Rebecca for turning me on to Twilight and changing my life!
I love the Twilight Tuesday challenges! Even though I don't find a lot of time to play along I do love to look at all of the fabulous creations made by the super talented dt! When I saw they were having a Anniversary blog hop I knew I had to ink up some of my Twilight stamps!
For my card I decided to use last week's TTIC51 "Edward" inspiration for my project.
I have to say that even though I love New Moon Jacob...I am forever Team Edward.
For my card I used the TGF Wild Sprout Edward stamp. Isn't he just perfect! My sentiment comes from the super fun Twilight themed Artful Inkables set "Fictionally Inspired".
I also wanted to give a big shout out to some generous sponsors of today's TTIC blog hop:

Stamp Happens Shop

The Greeting Farm
Unity Stamp Co.

Phew....that was a long post....if you managed to stick with me this long....the next stop on the hop is Tamara Bennett.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

It's Friday!!!

TGIF! I've had a really tough week and needed something that would make me smile today. I don't know about you, but rainbows always make me smile. Every time I see a rainbow I think of my daugher... she loves to color everything she can in rainbow colors. For this card I used the digital Dorothy Anya from The Greeting Farm. I don't know the manufacturer of the sentiment, I bought it a few years ago at a local stamping expo.Supplies used: Digi Dorothy from The Greeting Farm, SU CS, Prismacolor markers, foam dimensionals, glitter.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
