Twilight Quotes

Firstly....thank you for all your lovely
messages for Bella getting spayed.
We got to the vets, after her huffing
about not getting any breakfast
and the did a quick check
over her and diganosed with
a phantom pregnacy!!!


So she is on 5 days worth of very
expensive hormones and booked
in for next month.....
That will be our third attempt to
get this little miss spayed!


Anyway............

Back to the crafting...

You may know that I love Twilight,
I am Team Edward all the way!

so when I saw
Lorraine over at Crafty Pad
has a tutorial for a cute
mini pocket book I thought I would give it a
wee go and this is my first attempt.



(The orange paper is
just to hide the name of
the person who this is for.)

The images are all Pixie Dust
who want us to go to the movies.
I have used lots of my
favourite quotes through the book.

These are all the tags that fit
in each pages pockets.

Lots of Edwards....

A few more Edwards...
oh and one wee Bella!

A Jacob wolf and Alice

Jacob and Edward...

Bella & Edward.

Just realised that I never used
the solo Bella that I coloured.....

I frayed one ribbon by accident....
Took me ages to fray the rest
on purpose!

Other challenges I want to enter this
love of love for are

Secret Crafters who want anything but a card.
Scrapbook sisters say anything goes.
Crafty Pad themsleves want digi images.

cuddles and cuteness

I am having a great week at home,

Notes and Kisses

Monday already,
I am on leave from work for two weeks
and have little planed except
catching up on odd jobs.

And a wee bit of crafting!

The photo of this notebook is not
very good but it is in the post
so I can't take another one.

Another notebook as part
of a collection of stuff for a
Birthday Pressie.
It is my pal Sue's dog in the picture
I used online thingy again
to turn a photo into a sketch.

I also made ten note cards
using the same sketch picture.
They are all simple but slightly different.

And lastly a card for my hubby.
It is our 16th Wedding Anniversary this week.
Not your usual card,
but has quotes from my fave film Twilight.
The image is Pixie dust the same as
Edward from the notebook above.


I am entering it in two challenges.
Pixie dust want fur or feathers.
Secret Crafter say anything goes.

Talking about love......
How sweet are these two???

They really do love each other
as only sisters can.....

They fall out and bicker,
want the same toy at the same time
and yet ....
they can be so sweet together.

Hope you are grand.

Love teen xx

Sunday smigings.

What a beautiful day it has been here
today, hopefully you have all been enjoying
this glorious weather as well!

Some makes and bleathers to share.

This one is using my new Sugar Nellie
little cotton rabbits. I love these guys!
The embossing means I can enter it in both
The Crafty Pads & Allsorts challenge.
Hidden treasures want Ribbon.

Now over at Kath's blog you will see a post
about a crop in the North East of Scotland
on the 3rd of July,
which is not only going to be great fun
but is also fund raising for Save the children.
Now I wont be able to go, but wanted to make something
for this great cause.

They have asked you make
something in red and white and cheerful.
So here is mine.....

The plain red heart is held in place
with a small piece of fishing line.


Secret Crafters wanted strawberries and cream
so thats sorted here.
ABC wanted extra dimension.
I think the cut out and suspended heart fits the bill.

Here is the inside.

Got to have me some Edward....
my fave pixie dust of flirting Edward...
*sigh*
No reason for this card....

My cousin is getting married next month
this card for the happy couple
takes elements from their
wedding invite.
The embossed panel is shimmery
and slightly different shade of white
than the base card.

and to finish before I go blog hopping....

My babies,
It is getting harder to get a photo
of the two of them staying still!

Enjoy the sunshine
have a great week!

Love Teen xx

Happy Fathers Days
to all the Lucky Daddies out there.

A couple of cards made last night,
couldn't sleep, Andrew was
on a night shift.


This one was to be for
Passions for Promarkers.
The sketch wanted a circle in
the centre but I never
noticed and I had printed a
frame on the sheet when I printed
my digital image.
I didn't want to trim it down
and loose the details.

So I am entering it in
One Stop Craft Challenge
who want one for the boys.
This is a pixie dust download.

I am also entering it in Allsort's sketch.
I must admit, I looked at it, and
thought it was just for Penny Black stamps...
need to read things better!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And so this second one is for
Passion for Promarkers.
It is Debbi's last sketch and it is also
one for the boys.
With my Pixie Dust flirty Edward....
*sigh*

I am entering it at Pixie Dust
who want Red, Black, white and /or silver.


Those follow Twilighters out there will know
that my Edward only sparkles in the sunshine
so I am also cheekily entering it in
A spoonful of sugar who want
us to enjoy the sunshine....
I would so enjoy the sunshine if I had
me an Edward sparkling beside me.


A naughty Puppy to finish with.
Andrew had both girls out for their
morning walk today.
They run around on a bit of open ground
which has some back garden fences
enclosing one side.
Poppy has a friend Oscar,
a young chocolate lab
who lives in one the houses.
They always touch noses and say hello.
Bella found a hole in the fence
so wondered on in....
and followed Oscar into his house.
His Dad came out and returned Bella.

*sigh*

Her latest thing is stealing cushions
and taking them outside to lie on.....
What am I going to do with her?

Wedded Bliss

Whats on my work space....?
A blinkin mess to be honest,
I dare not show you the rest
of my work area, this needs
a good tidy up as it is.

I had a day off work today,
so I got time to make some cards.

A lady at work asked me to make
her a Wedding card
in a similar style to the invite.

It was in white and pink,
with four diamonds along the
pink ribbon on the side.

I thought it looks an easy enough idea
BUT
It was a real pain in the elbow to do.

I made one and it looked too plain.
The white card looked all wrong.
So I made it again using shimery white
card....but once I stuck down the
second white layer I realsied
that I had not stuck down the ribbon....
The ribbon may have been pink
but the air was blue!

Third time....
I discovered I didnt have
two sheets of the white shimery card.
So it is a sort of oyster colour.
But by this point I really didn't care!


Anyway here is final card.

The pink flower is punched out in the oyster
card and darker pink ribbon is underneath.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this was the white card that looked wrong.
I stamped butterflies and dragon flies
and added the Penny Black image.
I think I will go back and add some
more shading to his tummy.
The top layer of the punched out butterfly
is a wee bit of left over vellum.

I am entering it in papertake weekly,
who want Fun, fun, fun!
Creative card crew who want pink & green
Penny Black Sat Challenge want in the garden.
My Time to craft ~ wild thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK so I had one more base card made
from the wedding card faff from before.
I needed a Thank you card.

I think I got a bit carried away
on the dots and dashes on the edging
but I like the end card.

My pal asked me to do her a
wedding card as well...
to be honest after the morning
I had with the other card
I almost didn't want to do this
card at all......

But I got on with it, and
I quite liked what I ended up with.

I am not keen on fussy wedding cards.
The off white card in this is also
a bit shimmery.
So is the purple ink I used to
smudge the edges of the
hearts and the sentiment.

Lastly.....
I really enjoyed making this one.

Passion for promarker want Books as this weeks theme.
Well you must know by now
I LOVE TWILIGHT!
lol.
So here is Bella & Edward.
I know Bella would not wear
a dress like this.
But she is the best I could do.

This evening Bella-Boo is going
to a puppy party at the vets.
She is being a wee toad.....so
a party is the last place I think she
should be getting to attend today!

Andrew took her and Poppy-dog
into town in the car.
He went into a shop for a short while....
came out and found her in the boot....
eating a slice of bread from
the loaf he had bought in the bakers.

She was quite happy!

To Lisa with Love

Today is my friend
and fellow Twilight obsessive
Lisa's Birthday.
I made this card for her.
The feathers in the background are
from the last book.

The little metal heart on Lisa's name plate
says "made with love."

All good Vampire sparkle with a little sunlight.

So hence his shimmery face.

I send a few gifts in the post including
this wee note book I covered

The ribbon is more of a lilac
and matches in with the co-ordinating
papers on the back of the book.

Happy Birthday Lisa!!!
