Artful INKables Eclipse Post

Keeping up with the Eclipse theme this week, I created this non-traditional colored Eclipse card....okay it's sorta girlie but I like it :)  Inside the card it states "The clouds I can handle, but I can't fight an Eclipse".

Artful INKables Eclipse Blog Hop

Welcome to our Customer and Design Team Twilight 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 ECLIPSE today, we're highlighting the Artful INKables Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight, Fictionally Inspired and Epic Tales. Artful INKables also has a set of Vampire Romance Themed Charms available!

For the blog hop today I created this sketch book using the Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired Sets.  I've had this book laying around for awhile now and didn't quite know what I wanted to do with it, until now.  Sometimes when I'm out and about and I can get an idea in my head I have to scramble around for a piece of paper, well this book is perfect for that!  It is loaded with heavy blank pieces of CS to sketch on so now I'll never run into that problem again (well unless I leave it at home LOL)

Wow does that wolf look dark :)  If this layout looks a little familiar, it's because it is.  Last week I created this long notebook using the exact same layout/images.  I liked it so much I had to do it again LOL

The next stop on the hop is Dawn Knight.  Hop on over to her blog to see what she has created for you today!

Think INK challenge (Artful INKables)

This week's challenge over at Artful INKables was to create anything but a card and to use the colors red, white and blue.  When I sat down to create this I totally forgot about the color aspect of the challenge and created the set that I posted yesterday.  So I had to make something else and this is what I ended up with:

I've been wanting to use my bind-it-all and since it's been awhile, I apparently squeezed the rings together to tightly--ugh!!  So this is going to be Abby's little notebook now :)

Artful INKables

Happy Friday everyone!  Today's post will be combining two challenges.  The first one is the current Twilight challenge that is going on over at the Artful INKables blog which is to create a project for whatever team you are (i.e Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Bella, Team Alice and so on).  The second challenge is this weeks Think Ink challenge which to challenge ourselves.

So onto the project.  I have had these long notepads forever and never could figure out what to do with them or even dared to try to use them.  For me this week, my challenge for myself was to pull one of these out and to FINALLY make something with it and as you can see I'm a Team Jacob gal :)  Although I could swing to Team Edward very easily LOL

and here is a close up of it

Now if we're talking about Trueblood, I am 110% Team Eric ;)  I enjoy seeing his bunners each week (well practically each week) LOL

Last night while I was creating some cards for challenges I thought of this bookmark using Peacock Pagentry.  I kept it simple, which  appears to be my theme lately :)

Think Ink Challenge #19

This week your challenge is brought to you by Alicia Ekermans, and she issued a MAKEOVER CHALLENGE: CHOOSE AN OLDER CARD/PROJECT and REMAKE IT


The card I chose to do over was the one I created for the paint chip challenge.  I really didn't like how that turned out and actually ditched it :(  


Here is my original card, it used the pawn image from "Into the Moonlight"

Now here is my makeover card.  I used Peacock Pagentry set.  I really like how this one turned out this time.  I love the simplicity of it and yet it's very elegant.

I have finally found the time to get my post up for this week.  Sorry it's later than usual but at least it's up the same day :)

I really wanted to showcase the Epic set still and decided to show you a non-twilight themed card, so I went with clean and simple.  I like how this card turned out, it's subtle but elegant.

Enjoy!
