Freezer Paper Twilight T-Shirt

So for Halloween I'm taking the easy way out this year. I didn't feel like spending a bunch of money on a costume. And you all know i'm obsessed with Twilight. So I wanted to be a vampire baseball player. I got to looking online for a tshirt kind like this one but they were all too expensive. So I suddenly remembered that I'd seen a tutorial on how to use freezer paper and the cricut to make a custom shirt. So now I'm addicted to this new way to use my Circut. I was so impressed with the way the first one came out that I'm dying to try it again. I think next I'm going to make a christmas shirt for my son.

I started by cutting a 6" circle on freezer paper. Then I ironed the negative part and painted a white circle. Then when that was dry I painted on my stitches by hand using a pencil (to sketch it) then a small paintbrush. Then I put the "Cullen" on top. The collegiate font that I used was a little tricky to iron on. I had to position the pieces just right, but the end result was way worth the effort! Next I put "Baseball" on the bottom. And last I put "Vampire across the ball. It was the hardest part. I had a hard time getting the freezer paper to stick to the painted circle. It didn't adhere perfectly in some places so I had to use a paintbrush to do some touching up. But I am so pleased with the way it turned out. I think I might make another to sell in my Etsy store.

Now for my creations!

Each hop participant was invited to look back through the past 51 Twilight Tuesday challenges and pick one or more of those challenges as their personal choice for the hop. I decided to use challenge #38- The Honeymoon. I also used the sketch from Sketch and Stash.

When I think of Edward & Bella's honeymoon, I am reminded of the feathers that were strewn about the cottage. I just think it is hilarious that a housekeeping team would have to clean that up after a honeymoon. Also I love that Bella wakes up dazed and says: "Why am I covered in feathers?". Then Edwards replies "I bit a pillow...maybe two." (See below to download sentiment)

I also created this card for the same challenge. I used a free site called Wordle to create this word cloud, which you can download for free below!

As a bonus freebie, I've got the two Twilight Clouds that I created below for you to download free! You can also download the "Why Am I covered in Feathers?" word art here. Download Twilight Honeymoon Cloud

Twilight Tuesday Challenge-- Edward

This week on the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge, we finally got to use Edward for our inspiration! He is my REASON for reading the books. He is so gorgeous, strong, selfless and kind. I am in love! I think the word that comes to mind when I think of Edward is "Comfort". I know this may seem odd, but I know exactly how Bella must feel when she is with him. Comforted. He is a strong presence in her life and completes her in everyway. With the exception of New Moon, Edward is always there for Bella. I put "Perfectly Flawed" on the card because that is the way that I would describe him. He's got many characteristics that people would consider flaws, but without him he wouldn't be so perfect.

I chose this image for the card because Edward is sitting in front of his piano. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when he plays the piano for Bella. It is so sexy. Something about a guy like that who can play the piano so beautifully and compose music so moving is very attractive! I also used the sketch from this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Twilight Tuesday --a day early!

Hey everyone! I'm celebrating Twilight Tuesday a day early! So here is my card! I used a picture of Edward and Bella that I found online. Someone had altered it slightly to where it looked like

it had been sketched. Pretty cool looking. So I saw this awesome tutorial on how to create faux flourishes and I just had to try. I didn't use a template or anything, I just freehanded this design. I wanted it to wrap up and touch the photo on each side. Then I chose one of my favorite quotes from the series: "Today is the first and last day of forever." I love it. Wouldn't this make a great romantic birthday card or a card for a wedding? I also used my Tim Holtz distress Ink "old paper" to make the sentiment match the paper behind it.
