Twilight Tuesday!!! WHOO HOO!!!  This week’s challenge has been issued by the divine Eve!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The challenge for this week’s Tuesday is “The Great Northwest.” If you have ever lived there you know what I mean. Maybe if you have only visited there you know what I mean. Maybe if you only heard about the filming of the movie you know what I mean. It is beautiful there. There is a reason for it’s beauty….all the rain!

 

 

So from the space needle to the forests. From the rain to the trees. From the lush green beauty of it all to the Olympic Peninsula. There are so many reasons to LOVE the great Northwest. Edward’s family chooses to live there. Bella feels she has to live there, and hated visiting as a child. Don’t forget the trips to Seattle, the coast, and into the forest. Have fun with this one!

Comment portion: If you could visit anywhere in the Northwest – where would it be and why?

Be sure to visit the other Design Team member and see what they’ve made this week!

Special Note: Our beloved Julie will be taking a break this week. There has been a significant death in her family and she will be occupied with the funeral, etc. Our condolences to Julie and her family!!!

Ok, I’ve made a rather strange looking project. Ready?

What is it, right???

Well, this, my friends is an embellishment. It’s a 4×4” carded image expressing what I think of when I think of The Great Northwest.

I’ve attached a Twilight button which features that awesome mountain, forest overlook scene from Twilight.

I’ve also attached four tile pendants I bought many months ago from someone on Etsy. (BTW, Jen’s pendants in her Etsy store are the bomb. I highly recommend them!!!)

Here are the tiles.

I attached them with a rope looking tie.

I thought it looked a little rustic.

Here is a close up of the bear and raccoon surrounded by the forest (Trees, Unity Stamp Co., Bear and raccoon from the Under the Stars set from Stampin’ Up!).

I used my SWMs to color the animals and Always Artichoke to stamp the trees. The layer are AA and Chocolate Chip.

So what is this embellishment for? Well…

This is so ironic that Eve chose this theme. This weekend, I found out that I will be accompanying my husband to a conference in Seattle at the end of July! So I definitely choose Seattle and Forks for the place I’d visit! I’m so excited!! I’ll definitely be visiting Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles. I am also hoping to visit St. Helens and other places where Twilight the movie was filmed. So if any of you Twihards are in the area, let’s meet up!!! Last week of July!! Who’s in??

So the embellishment is being saved for a scrapbook I plan to make after I visit The Great Northwest!
