Let's get hoppin' New Moon Style!

Welcome! I hope you are enjoying yourself on this fabulous New Moon blog hop. The hop starts and ends at the Twilight Tuesday website and that's also where you can see the full list of participants.

I cannot wait to see this movie!  We have a busy weekend, so I probably won't get to see the film for a few days (ugh, I know!) but it helps that I can participate in this blog hop today and see all sorts of cool Twilight fan art. 

I went with an 8x8 digi scrapbook page.  I kept it simple (that's really all I know how to do anyway!) and feel like the quote is the star of the page.  New Moon is when we all get to know and love Jacob.  He is a great guy and I remember thinking how stupid Bella was for not jumping on that. LOL! Tall (well, in the book anyway), dark and handsome. YUM!  He's a friend when Bella needs one the most and I enjoyed the tension this little love triangle brought to the series.  Isn't New Moon when all of us divided into teams?..Team Jacob, Team Edward and Team Switzerland.

I also made this (freaky?) Andy Warhol inspired Jacob notecard.  It's kind of neat looking in person.  I had the idea for it and then didn't know what else to do with it, so...it's a notecard!

My 8yo daughter, Elizabeth, decided at the last moment to participate in this blog hop and while she's not on the official roster, I hope you will take a moment and visit her blog and see the card she made.  It makes her day when she gets a comment on her blog.

Next on the New Moon blog hop tour is Jeri Moody. So hop on over and give Jeri some comment love. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Because I don't have anything else to do...NOT

Thanks to Jennie for giving me a blog award!  It comes with a quiz and I noticed Jennie and I both love Panera bread and are bad with Facebook--I knew you had excellent taste!  Here goes...

1. Where is your cell phone? I'm not sure, I can't keep up with it.  It might be in my car.
2. Your hair? dark

3. Your mother? crazy

4. Your father? deceased
5. Your fave food? spaghetti followed by pizza.  Love the italian food.

6. Your dream last night? My kids wouldn't go to bed, so I started taking candy away from them until they settled down.  They were sleeping with bowls of candy.  I have strange dreams often. LOL

7. Your fave drink? Vanilla Latte followed by Dr. Pepper

8. Your dream/goal? To be proficient in Photoshop Elements and make really cool things with it.

9. What room are you in? craft room/office

10. Your hobby? Papercrafts, reading, used to be cooking but I've gotten lazy and a bit too chubby. :)

11. Your fear? Something bad happening to my kids, but I think that's a standard fear for a parent.  Otherwise, I fear drowning.

12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? Happy and hopefully not very wrinkled.

13. Where you were last night? Home

14. Something that you aren’t? neat

15. Muffins? Pumpkin Cheescake
16. Wish List Item? Where do I start? Uh...books, Papertrey Ink stuff, fancy espresso machine, I could go on and on.
17. Where did you grow up? Clinton, TN

18. Last thing you did? That's a bit private, so I'll say...photographing and editing my SG9 card.

19. What are you wearing? my standard attire of dark jeans (the only pair I can stand because I am not a jeans person), black t-shirt and black hoodie.

20. Your TV? normally it's off most of the time.  Lately, I've been watching it during the day because we have all the premium movie channels until February. Yes, I watch dirty movies all day while the kids are in school.

21. Your Pets? saucy wench of a dog named Stella.  She's a feisty redhead. She used to be feisty, she's 10 years old now and sleeps most of the day.

25. Missing Someone? I'm missing my Tues. night stamping buddies and my waistline.  Darn Halloween candy!

26. Vehicle? Honda Odyssey which is a fabulous vehicle but when I'm driving I pretend it's not a mini-van.  It's something really cool and I'm really cool just by driving it.  Oh, and I'm young and smokin' hot in this fantasy too.

27. Something you are not wearing?  Underwear.  Just kidding, I only go commando when I haven't kept up the laundry. LOL  Anyway, something I'm not wearing is makeup.  I don't wear makeup everyday.  I do not like to feel makeup on my face and I don't like to feel lipstick either.  For those of you like me who don't like foundation but want to even out your skin tone a bit, use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer.  It's a tinted moisturizer and I love it!  Also, Clinique's almost lipstick is wonderful to give you some color without feeling heavy.  Ok, makeup lesson over.  I do wear make up but if I'm not going anywhere but grocery shopping, etc. I just skip the makeup.

28. Your fave store? Target followed by Williams Sonoma

29. Your fave color? Green

30. Last time you laughed? When I checked my bank balance--it was crazy, hysterical, slightly maniacle laughter.

31. Last time you cried? When I checked my bank balance.  My husband will cry when he gets the credit card statement.  I will be hiding.

32. Your best friend? Husband.  I can completely be myself with him because after 14 years together he already knows I'm a weirdo.  I think it might be a turn on for him.

33. One place that I go to over and over? grocery store.  It's a necessary evil.  I have an apple addiction and need to eat at least 1 apple a day.  Sometimes I eat 2 and have been known to eat 3.  See?  I'm a weirdo. 


34. One person who emails regularly? Harriet and Alyssa (who needs to e-mail me more often :)  miss you girl!)

35. Fave place to eat?  Definitely love going to Panera Bread.  YUM!

36. Facebook? Yes, but I forget about it.  I'm not good with My Space either. 


I am passing this award on to a few people because I want to see their answers to the quiz.

Thanks for dropping by!  I've got some things to do (buy apples, blog hop, add my fav blog link list to my blog, etc.) and will see ya later!

sG9...hopefully soon ** how about now!**

I'm terribly sorry I don't have my SG9 card up yet.  Please check out all the Sketch Girls--their links are on my sidebar.  I'll get SG9 done soon.  I have a sick child, my refrigerator is broken (hopefully that will be fixed today as I have been without a refrigerator since last week), I have this chest congestion that will NOT go away and now I have a swollen, red eyelid that is uncomfortable.  Hey, thanks for coming to my pity party. LOL!

My eye is healing rapidly, my kid is ok and my refrigerator is now working! Yipee!  I completed my SG9 card.  My daughter is having her 6th birthday party this weekend and we are doing a penguin theme.  I picked up an Inkadinkadoo set with a penguin in it and it had this cute polar bear image included.  I stamped it on October Afternoon Cherry Hill text pattern paper and then colored it with copics. I went over the main body of the bears with Copic E0000 Floral White to give it a richer look.   I stamped some snowflakes and embossed with snowflake embossing tinsel--it's made by Ranger.   Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back soon!

Would you like a Jolly Holiday? I may be able to help with that...

**The blog candy contest is now closed.**  The winner is....

I shouldn't be surprised, because she is on a winning streak these days.  Random.org chose commenter #1   Harriet Hensley.  Harriet, since you are my neighbor, I'll be giving this set to you in person.  Congrats!


First, check out the card I made with sassy pants Morgan.  She's a doll!  I used liquid applique for some puff on Morgan's outfit and I actually cut out her dress and hat and pieced it on another image. Does that make sense?  I didn't pop it on dimensionals, but in person it adds a bit of dimension.  I went digging around online and found some free sheet music images and printed one off.  I'll have to come back and add the link.  In my haste, I forgot to bookmark it and I'm really, really lazy right now.

*********

Ok, now let's see if I can give you a jolly holiday.  How about I give one lucky commenter the stamp set I used on this card?  Does a brand spankin' new sheet of uncut, deeply etched red rubber sound nice?  Oooh, are you salivating yet? No?  What if I told you it has 2 images and 9 sentiments?  Yipee!  This set is called Naughty and Nice and you can see the full set here in the Stamp Happens Shop.  While you are there, check out all the cool stuff Tonya stocks in her store.

Leave a comment telling me your favorite Christmas memory and you'll be in the running.  So you will have plenty of time to play with this stamp set, I'll draw a winner on Monday, Nov. 16th.

Funky Christmas card

I've been really busy the last few days re-decorating my 8yo daughter's room and had to stop and take a stamp break this afternoon.  I wanted to make a funky Christmas card and used some digi images (tree and sentiment) from Wild Flower Kids.  The text background is a .pdf that I'm pretty sure came from Mel Stampz blog but I'm not positive. It's Christmas dictionary text and I printed it on rustic white cardstock.  I used more of the Basic Gray Eskimo Kisses paper with a card base of PTI Sweet Blush.  My 6yo chose the button.

Short and sweet tonight, I've got some paint brushes to clean.  Painting is such a pain but the clean up is even worse!  Have a good one!

Merry Christmas, You sweet thing!

Today is the day! The newest releases from StampInsanity stamps are available.  This is Morgan all dressed up in her santa suit.  Isn't she a sassy little thing!?!  I used a couple of strips of some Basic Gray that Harriet gave me.  I think it's from the Eskimo Kisses line.  I pulled out my neglected bottle of Icicle Stickles and used it to bling up Morgan's fur accents.

You can see all 3 new rubber stamp releases here.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team--these are some talented ladies!

Thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful day!
