Twilight Scrapbook: some Eclipse layouts

Long time no update, I know.

I haven't been doing much in the way of scrapbooking lately. I just returned home from a weekend scrapbooking retreat so I did a few layouts there. Here are two for Eclipse.

I realize the New Moon section of my album is severely lacking in layouts. What can I say? Although the movie was well done, it suffered the same problem as the book: too much Jake and not enough Edward! :-)

I cannot wait for Eclipse!

The movie poster:
I used the same smoke brush I did for the New Moon poster layout.

Twilight Fan Fiction: The Twilight Twenty-Five (er, Five)

The Twilight Twenty-Five was a challenge/community on Live Journal to write 25 Twilight-themed fan fictions between September 1 and December 1 based on specific prompts. The stories could be either one-shots of at least 1000 words or drabbles of exactly 100 words.

Due to a variety of reasons and circumstances, I really procrastinated on this, and by November 1 I had resigned to not even bothering. For whatever reason, I decided on the last day of the challenge, with only a few hours left, to write as many drabbles as I could.

I only got five done before I burned out. Although I originally intended to write from a variety of character viewpoints, after the first couple, I began falling back to my usual Edward/Bella and they started sounding the same. :-/ But it was good because it broke the writer's block I've been pushing against for a while. It's so freeing to know you only have to write 100 words and not have to have a complete story cycle, but also challenging to get exactly 100 words.

My five drabbles are posted as a story on FF.net. Each drabble is a new chapter:

A new Twilight 25 challenge is starting in January. I haven't decided yet if I will participate or not.

Twilight Fan Fiction: Torn in Two

Another thing I forgot to post on my blog: my latest Fan Fiction story. It's my first attempt at a non-Cullen-centric story.


Banner created by the lovely annamorphos. Thank you!


Summary: Leah Clearwater was working on moving past her heartbreak over Sam. Life was slowly getting better. Then, one day, everything changed.

I finally created an account at Fanfiction.net. Here's the link to the story:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5424822/1/Torn_in_Two. It can also be found on my LiveJournal and Twilighted.net.

I wrote this for Novel Novice Twilight's July-August challenge and took first place!


Although NNT doesn't usually have prizes for their fan fiction challenge, this time they did. Check out this really awesome autographed Twilight cast photo I received! You can imagine how excited I was. Totally worth delving into a little wolf fiction. :-)

2009 Pumpkin Carvings

I can't believe I forgot to update my blog with my 2009 Pumpkin Carvings! Shame on me!

Get ready, there are a lot of them...I discovered the joy carving fake pumpkins (I used the ones from Michael's), which meant trying more intricate designs since I knew they wouldn't rot away in a few days.

Let's start with the real ones. I did two real pumpkins this year and let my son choose the pattern for both. As you can see, he went for a Batman theme.

This one is the first fake pumpkin I did, for my husband:

This is four patterns on one pumpkin. The Twilight book cover pattern is from http://www.stoneykins.com/ but the other three patterns I created myself.

Twilight Scrapbook: New Moon - Cullens Poster

One of the official posters for New Moon. This one features the Cullens, which automatically makes it better because there's NO JAKE!

I just placed the poster on a brown background and added the smoke with a brush I downloaded here.

I have a pumpkin in progress of this picture of Bella and Edward. Didn't get it done for this Halloween, but I will for 2010!

Twilight Scrapbook: Robert Pattinson. *swoon*

Hard to believe that a year ago, I didn't really care for Robert Pattinson unless he was dressed up as Edward Cullen. Not sure what changed...it may simply have been him cutting his hair off and growing it back out. Or maybe he just aged a little, in a good way.

These photos are from the awesome 2009 Vanity Fair photo shoot. They may have even been all outtakes, I don't remember.

I can't take any credit for this one at all. I found it here: http://thinkingofrob.com/2009/12/02/new-robert-pattinson-wallpapers-2/and it was created by @candykizzes24. All I did was resize it for my scrapbook.

Twilight Fan Fiction: Body and Soul (Outtakes)

I have a few scenes for Body and Soul that ended up on the cutting room floor, so-to-speak. I posted them to my LiveJournal in all their un-beta'ed glory!

See the Outtakes!

Rated: R for language and some sexual themes (pretty mild)

Twilight Fan Fiction: Gone Too Soon




The story is available on LiveJournal and Twilighted right now. Twilight Archives and Simply Twilight are soon to come.
Live Journal
Twilighted


Shortly after Michael Jackson's death, hellacullen, a member of the Twilight Fan Fiction community, started a community of stories that are inspired by one of his songs.

I decided to contribute a story for her series. Looking over a list of MJ's songs, Gone Too Soon triggered a lot of memories. I used to follow Ryan White's story and how MJ was involved. In fact, one of the first fictional stories I wrote, back in high school, was inspired by Ryan White. So I felt it fitting that I write a piece of Twilight Fan Fiction inspired by this song that MJ wrote about Ryan White.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, if you read the lyrics, that this is a sad song and thus I wrote a sad story:
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon

Twilight Fan Fiction: Links to My Stories

It's been over a month since I posted any Twilight fan fiction, but I have been hard at work at some new stories.

I've also created a LiveJournal account where I am posting all of my fan fiction, as well as some Twilight fan fiction-specific websites. From now on, when I post my fan fiction, I'll be posting links to these sites instead of posting it directly here.

My LiveJournal is the most up-to-date listing of my fan fiction. As soon as a story is ready for public viewing, I post it here. :-)
http://cspeich.livejournal.com/

Here are the Twilight Fan Fiction sites I post to. Because each of these sites has a validation process each story goes through, they may not have the most recent stories right away.
Twilighted
Twilight Archives
Simply Twilight


If you are a member of any of those sites and read my fiction, please leave me a review and let me know what you think!

Twilight Cake!

I have wanted to make a Twilight cake for so long, so when my son asked for a Twilight party I finally had an excuse! :-)

I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's hard to tell in the photo but the white parts of the car (hubcaps, mirrors, etc.) are actually sparkly silver.

Twilight Scrapbook: O.M.E. ~ Edward in the Sun

I never use the saying "O.M.E." and I rarely do double page spreads with digital layouts, but I thought these pictures were worthy of both. :-)

Twilight Scrapbook: Team Taylor

I am not Team Jacob but I do like Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. I will eventually do a Jacob layout, when there is more footage of him.

Green paper, brown paper, and frame from Ellie Lash's Jacob kit. Team Jacob sparkly title from Kathy Goldstein's The Pack kit. (find links here)

Twilight Scrapbook: Edward & Jasper

Another simple layout from a still from the trailer. I loved how Edward pushed Jasper even if it was different than the book. (Too bad the piano was destroyed, though!)

Not sure if I will add more to this layout.

Twilight Scrapbook: Vampire Baseball

I have several layouts today, all from wallpapers by Sara from Novel Novice Twilight. These are some older wallpapers she made. I love the way she has combined some of the great quotes from the book with images from the movie.

Two wallpapers.
