TTIC #55: Monochromatic Colors! And 3 More Days Left…

Ok. Lots of stuff today! So let’s get started! I’m coordinating today’s post so I will be your guide…

First up, Eve has issued a fun and different kind of challenge for us today:

Make a project using a monochromatic color scheme

inspired by the Twilight Saga.

For those who may not know or are unsure, a monochromatic color scheme uses a single color on most every layer of a project. In this type of scheme, various darker shades, grayer tones, and paler tints of the main color may be included in the palette. In addition, the one color is often paired with white or another neutral. (Wording paraphrased from About.com)

This link from Bazzill Basics might give you some ideas!

Next, just as a reminder…in case you’re in a coma or dead…

Twilight Challenge #:48 Bond Between Brothers

Welcome to another Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge! This week I am bringing you a new challenge focusing on some of the relationships we see in New Moon!

As the New Moon movie release approaches we are seeing amazing pictures of the Wolfpack who become Jacob’s Brothers. In New Moon the wolf pack play an important part in Jacob’s life and the effect they have on the Quileute community. This also effects the Cullen family. The Wolf pack has a treaty with the Cullens and in time see that they all need to work together to rid Forks of the bad Vamps. This week we will be focusing on the Bond between brothers and how we apply that to our human lives. Women can lean on each other and we are strong all on our own but now and again we need that male presence as a brother, husband, best friend as a grounding force… a safe place to be. We see that in Bella’s need for Jacob.

Craft Portion: Make something that refects brotherhood… Be inspired by the wolf pack, Edward and Jasper/Emmitt, even the relationship between Bella and Jacob. Make a scrapbook page, a card for your brother or maybe a book for that special guy in your life. Celebrate brothers in any way you would like. (this would be a good chance to find those awesome pictures of the New Moon Wolfpack)

Comment Portion: Talk about the brotherhood in your life… Do you have an amazing brother that has been there for you thick and thin? Do you have the best guy friends that have your back when times get rough?
