Welcome to another week of Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenges!

It is my turn to issue this week’s Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge: BFFs: Bella & Jacob (TTIC #29). I want to focus on the friendship between Jacob and Bella…

Bella and Jake have a very special friendship. Jacob was there for Bella when she needed someone to bring sunshine into her life. Jacob was a caring and loving friend to Bella. Although Jacob viewed Bella romantically, Jacob did not imprint upon Bella. Jacob could never have loved Bella the way Bella loved Edward or Edward loved Bella. But they could be the best of friends. The could love each other in deeply passionate friendship kind of way.

“He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.”
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 9, p.219

“Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love.”
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 18, p.409

Craft Challenge: Make a project celebrating your best friend. Or Jake and Bella’s friendship.

Comment Challenge: Do you have a best friend whom you love passionately (in a friendship kind of way)? What makes your friendship so special?

Be sure to visit our Design Team who have fantastic projects to display for this week’s challenge:

Beth ~ Dani ~ Eve ~ Jen ~ Julie ~ Margie ~ Rebecca

So, on with my project.

My project is absolutely riddled with double entendres and multiple meanings. There is a lot going on in the subtexts.

Let’s look:

This is a 12 x 12” scrap page. I started out with two 6 x 6” pages but it just couldn’t hold what I wanted to say so I built them into a larger page.

Rockabilly Specialty paper, Kiwi Kiss CS, Basic Black CS, Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, Jet Black Stazon Ink, black embossing powder, Ice rhinestone, black Prima flower, Don Juan Cricut cartridge.

If you enlarge the picture, you’ll notice that Jacob and Bella’s photo mats are almost identical…almost.

Kind of like their relationship, they are an almost perfect match but not quite. Jacob’s stripes go a different way than Bella’s.

Here’s a closer look at the stripes and the skull. So…why the skulls? Well, first of all, the stuff Bella and Jacob do together usually are dangerous. Bella ends up in the ER quite a few times in New Moon.

And then there is the danger of Jacob getting his heart broken…

And him tempting Edward to fight for Bella…

And Bella having to struggle with her feelings for both Edward and Jake.

The title of my page is My Never. Stephanie Meyer used this awesome Blue October song as Jacob’s song for Bella.

You’ll notice two awesome quotes that exemplify “My Never”…

“He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.” Bella Swan

“Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love.” Jacob Black

I put the lyrics to the song in the other square of the page. This song is so beautiful.

This song really portrays the angst Jake feels.

Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October sang this song during Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn tour.

Blue October recently released their Approaching Normal album with this song on it and it is absolutely beautiful. Even if you heard it on YouTube, I encourage you to listen to the album version. It is so worth it!

Listen to My Never here! (just choose My Never…)

And as a final note, I love my Bestie with a mad passion. She left me. She moved away from me almost 10 years ago. She broke my heart. (Yes, this is a guilt trip…) But…she is the absolute best. She knows how to listen and always says the right stuff. She supports me. She shares my interests. She’s loyal. I love her. Thanks, Beth! And lately, I’ve been growing another bestie. I need to think of a good name for her too. She’s awesome and really listens to me too (EVERYDAY!!). And you know what? I’ve even got a third girlfriend that is rocking my socks! All of a sudden, I’m being blessed with good friends who listen to me and share my interests!! Right now is a great time in my life with my friends. Thank you ladies…
