there is a list of items used on the article page.. the background is handpainted with aryclic paint and laid with lace. the edges are burnt with a lighter to give it it an aged look. im most proud of this mini page.. i tried to use a lot of techniques! i love twilight!!

Breaking Dawn Tag

Hey guys! thanks for visiting.. i have been really busy and haven't got a chance to update my blog in a couple of weeks.. but i finished some more projects... finally!

first in a tag i did for Bona's twilight tag swap "Breaking dawn" the last in the series of the twilight saga. this was for team jacob.
One side is jacob in human form when he finally imprints on Reneesme.. in the book it talks about how

" Everything inside me came undone as i stared at the tiny porcelain face of the half-vampire, half-human baby. all the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings to a bunch of balloons. everything that made me who i was - my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for myother brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self - disconnected from me in that second - snip, snip, snip - and floated up into space. i was not left drifting. a new string held me where i was.... the gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where i stood. it was the baby girl in the blond vampire's arms that held me here now. Reneesme..

i love that quote.. and i think it really represented the book from jacob's perspective. the other side was jacob in wolf form.. in the beginning of the book before jacob came back to Forks. he spent most of his time in wolf form. so there is a moonlight scene. also the element of surpise was fabric. but i actually used rabbit fur.  i wish i could have found some brown fur to blend in more with the pictures.

thanks again for visiting. Please check back for more projects from me!

Sneak Peek! Current Curtain Call mini album im working on!

im doing a personal swap with lyla from thescrapbeach. we using the curtain call paper by graphic 45. i also am using a lot of prima and I am roses flowers. there are a lot of different techniques that i wanted to use with this mini. i've been working alot of youtube videos and this was my chance to actually use them. i haven't done a whole mini in a long time. mostly swap like stick pins, charms and mini pages. but i am very excited about this mini. i love this paper collection so i didn't want to cover up the paper too much. it has a great vintage feel to it.. as do most of the graphic 45 paper lines do. there are going to be tons of tags that i haven't yet complete. i also need to do the cover/back with binding. i made all the pages separate so that i can measure them out to do the binding according to the size it will be. its getting pretty thick so far.. so i'm sure lyla will like it. But here is a video for you guys. and a few pics! check it out and let me know what u think.. psst... don't tell lyla i don't want her to see it until its done! thanks for visiting.. stop back again to see the finished project!
