Ok, now for my project! This week I decided to make some post it note pads using Lindsay's doodle flower set! It has some adorable stamps in it that I have used over and over again! I think it is by far, my favorite LSS set! Since I won't be posting this Thursday for LSS, here is your Thursday Freebie, a little early. It is the template to cut these cut little holders using your cricut. Post It Note Pads SCUT. If you don't have scal, go to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts to see a video for how to make them by hand. It's so easy!
I found this handy little Fossil watch tin in my bedroom (I think it's my husband's. Shhh! Maybe he won't miss it. I decided to use it in the LSS Crop Room Challenge #6 that says "Recycle a container (altered art). So I created this cute little thank you tin for my son's preschool teachers. I plan to give it to them the last day of pre-school filled with candy. The stamps that I used are from Lindsay's School Rules set. It's just $5.00 for several great school related stamps (see photo below for full set). To cover thee tin I just used modge podge and a paint brush. I used photoshop to add the #1 Teacher and the teacher's names on the ribbon. Then I printed them and colored them with my Bic Mark Its. I used pop dots to give it some dimension. If you want to participate in some fun challenges and get some inspiration, hop over to the LSS Crop Room and join in the fun!
As promised, you can leave a comment to have a chance to win the School Rules set. You can have an additional chance to win by posting Lindsay's badge on your blog (see above note). Don't forget about Lindsay's 50% off sale. And don't worry, if you already have the set that you win, you can pick another one!

Your next stop should be to hop over to KARIN'S BLOG. Enjoy the rest of the hop!

New Moon Blog Hop

Welcome to our Customer and Design TeamTwilight Artful INKables blog hop! Make sure you start at the Artful INKables Blog, so you don't miss a single thing! To celebrate the release of NEW MOON today, we're highlighting the Artful INKables Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. Artful INKables also has a set of Vampire Romance Themed Charms available! Artful INKables is also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday’s Hop that include Twilight Prizes, so be sure to check them out today as well!

So here is my card! I had a hard time deciding what to do. I wanted to somehow combine the wolf with the tulip from the book cover. So this was what I came up with! I used the stamps from the "Into the Moonlight" set. You're probably wondering how I got the tulip so small. Well all you have to do is stamp your image on white paper. Then scan it into your computer. I used a free program called Paint.net to erase all of the image that I did not want (the chess piece and apple). Then I used the "magic wand" tool to select the flower and I saved it in a new document as a png file. Then I was free to resize it as I please! So I guess you could say I created my own "digi stamp" using a rubber stamp! I printed it out very small and then used colored pencils to color both the wolf and flower.
The gems were clear acrylic gems that I colored a coppery color using my Bic Mark Its! The background paper is a digi freebie from Lindsay- The Frugal Crafter. I just altered the color of the paper to a more natural color. I used my Tim Holtz "brushed corduroy" distressing inks to distress the entire card, even the paper.


I used this week's sketch TTSC15 and I also am participating in this week's Monocromatic challenge by using all brown tones. (with the exception of the flower, hehe)

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
