Welcome to this week's TTIC 25 (selected by the one and only Jen)
For this weeks TTIC challenge I wanted to do something a little different. We've been picking very specific themes that showcase the design teams favorite things and having everyone create something based on that. Well this week I thought it might be fun to focus a little more on what our participants like and are drawn to about Twilight. So our focus this week is OUR FAVORITES!
Celebrate YOUR Favorites!
This week for the creativity challenge you are to show us what you love about Twilight. Is it Edward? Or the baseball scene? Emmett's one-liners? Alice's quirky style? The meadow? Or maybe it's a quote. You choose! As part of this challenge to vamp it up a bit I also want you to concentrate on showcasing your favorite medium. Use your favorite technique, supply, material, etc. to help show case your favorites about Twilight. (I know that might be a tall order so 1 out of 2 ain't bad. ) Show us what you LOVE about Twilight.
Comment Challenge:
I would love to hear what Twilight has meant to all of you. It seems that Twilight has affected to many people on so many different levels. I know for me it's given me this great group of women who I love creating with along with so many other wonderful gifts that I never thought would come from just a book. I'd love to hear more about what Twilight has brought into the lives of others.
For me, my favorite is a town called FORKS, Washington! A town I never knew existed prior to last fall when I started reading Twilight. And a town that could make this this sunshine state gal move to the land of the Cullens in a heartbeat! And a thank you for the group of women known as the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge Design Team. A HUGE thank you to Tonya, Eve and Beth for inviting me to play along! And to Julie, Jen, Dani and Margie - I have had the absolute time of my life getting to know each of you! Without getting verklempt - each of you has touched my life - in ways I probably can't even begin to express.
So, without further ado - here is my first project for today: "The Fork in the Road"
The Road Not Taken {Robert Frost}
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

So, while the title might seem a little kitschy - this post is really my THANK YOU! to the TTIC DT and everyone who reads my blog and shares my love of all things Twilight!
Lastly, Twilight has changed the way I look at EVERYTHING! For any of you wondering ... this "fork" came packed in my salad today - and it was too cute to use! But perfect for the card, right? Its adhered to the card with glue dots sticks and I tied a bit of twine onto the top just for decoration. The cardstock is Kraft, with a bit of Penny Lane scrapbook paper (sorta looks like a red tablecloth, doesn't it?).
