Christmas in June

So for the past few days, I've found myself walking around humming Christmas songs.  IDEK.  It's the strangest thing, especially since I don't seem to know that there are artists other than Bruno Mars and Pink as of late, that's all I play.  Nonetheless, I'm walking around with "Winter Wonderland", "Jingle Bells", "Joy To The World" and "Baby It's Cold Outside" rolling through my head.  So I did what any sensible creative person would do.  I watched all three Glee Christmas episodes, and I made this card.

SIDENOTE TO MY FELLOW GLEEKS: The first Christmas ep, though the saddest, was the best yes?  The second one was the stupidest but had the best music, and this last year's was a bit of a toss-up because Rachel wasn't in it after the beginning.

Anyways, I'm entering this card in some challenges:

• Love To Scrap Challenge - Rockin' Rubbah
• My Heart Pieces - Clean and Simple
• Creative Moments - #19 Weather/Anything Goes
• Make It Monday - #144b
• Challenges 4 Everybody - #22 Anything Goes

Off to watch the Friends marathon for the rest of the weekend.  Laters!!

Happy Tenth Anniversary Twilight Saga!!!!

So I'm not even sure if the day that Stephenie began writing The Saga counts as the anniversary date, but I guess that's what the fandom's going with so it's what I'll go with.  (For the record, I also plan to celebrate the anniversaries of all the films' release dates and the books, too, with Twilight-themed crafts so stay tuned!)

I made this card for a very good friend's birthday, and even though it was (very) late getting to her, I wanted to share it and hope she forgives my lateness.

Oh how I miss my Saga.

I always favor this photo.  1) it's really cute 2) it's important in the books and 3) it was cut from the movie for NO GOOD REASON (which is what you can say about everything cut from the movie except the scene with the Volturi in the beginning).  I still don't understand what the studio/Condon were doing.  I mean really.  That said, parts of this scene in the book really grate on me.  Bella wouldn't stay a human for years for ANY reason, regardless of how good Edward was in bed.  Stephenie made an OOPSIE there.  But I digress.

I made the flowers a little flatter than I usually like so they could go through the mail safely.  I still love how it turned out.

Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Twilight Forever!  Laters!
