Ok, I admit it, I’m a *huge* Twilight fan! I’ve read all the books multiple times and I’ve seen the movie more times than I’ll admit So I was thrilled to find some Twlight inspired stamps and projects!

The Dragonfly Curls shop on Etsy has the most gorgeous hand carved stamps inspired by Twilight.

Artful Inkables also has a wonderful Twilight inspired stamp set call Into the Moonlight , along with some cool pewter Twilight inspired charms.

And I LOVE this adorable card by Beth Crofton, she turned a cute stamp from The Greeting Farm into Edward. She’s part of a very cool website challenge designed all around Twilight called Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge, check out the blog for links to all their creations and challenges, very fun stuff!

What a wonderful way to show your fandom by stamping your book marks, cards or how about party invites for a Twilight theme party?

I love little cross stitch patterns, but it’s especially fun when a small cross stitch design has a lot of detail going on. That’s the case with this collection of national parks cross stitch patterns from Stitchin Madness.

This isn’t really a pattern, it’s a full-on book with designs for all 63 of the national parks in the United States (which includes the Virgin Islands). Each design is unique and shows a distinctive feature or the park or what the landscape there looks like.

The book includes a full table of contents and numbered pages to make it easy to find the design you want to make.

Each design is 40 by 40 stitches without the park name included, and 40 by 50 stitches if you add the name. They’re designed for 14 count fabric and if you make all of them you’ll use 72 colors, though each individual pattern uses a lot fewer colors than that.

These would be so fun to make as you visit different parks, or make the whole set to frame together if you’re a big travel person who loves the national parks. They’d also be fun as greeting cards or even ornaments for your tree with the year you visited added to it somewhere.

The photo above shows a nice collection of some of the patterns in hoops, but I could see them done in little frames as well. This should give you a taste for what the designs look like and might even include your favorite park (mine is Acadia because I went there on my honeymoon; it isn’t on here but you can see it on the product page.

If you’re ready to stitch the national parks, or even just a handful of them, check out this pattern book from Stitchin Madness on Etsy. I’d love to know which national park is your favorite or what you would stitch up first!
