Planning a TM get-together soon? Hosting a movie release party? Freaking out a little because the release date was moved up and you don't have the time to create some cool invitations? Have no fear, Twilightations is here!

Image


Let me introduce Lyssa Zimmerman and her beautiful Twilight inspired party invitations. Here's Lyssa:

Image

Lyssa: "Twilightations originally started back in March, when a friend of mine and I were planning a twilight party. We totally wanted to deck it out. So I started looking for things on line pertaining to Twilight parties...and nothing came up. I had made many many invitations in the past, mainly for baby showers so I figured I could be up for the challenge for making them for our Twilight party. The final result was my first design for my Twilightations. Time went on, and I showed some people what I'd done and they loved it. Many of them even told me that I should start selling them and designing more of them. Thus, Twilightations was on the map..err internet :) I am constantly thinking of new designs. Obviously my first inspirations are the books but then I also implement my own style into them."

The party that inspired it!

"As I got my shop all finished up, I was curious to see what other Twilight-inspired crafts were on there, so I started searching around. I found and still find awesome things that people make. Then I figured, why not feature them on my blog? There aren't any places to soley find Twilight crafts so I started emailing and asking crafters if they wouldn't mind. Everyone was more than willing to help me out. So now, weekly, I feature a new crafter and their Twilight masterpieces. :) So not only am I continually thinking up new designs for Twilight party invitations but also continually searching for more Twilight-inspired crafts. And honestly, i'm looking for anything!! So if any of you do make fun Twilight crafts or know someone who does, send them my way! I'd love to feature them! "


Here's a link to my blog: http://www.twilightations.blogspot.com/

and a link to my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5911460

"When i'm not working on my Twilightations, I also have another blog dedicated to other stuff I make http://www.stufflyssamakes.blogspot.com/. I love to do anything with my hands, including scrapbooking, cardmaking, wooden crafts and sewing. Speaking of sewing, I am also apart of a group of moms who make and sell homemade baby gifts. Our site is called Creatively Inclined Moms. I make burp cloths and Taggie Blankets. Anyone curious should visit and take a look around! We have the cutest things from Diaper Wipee cases to baby bracelets and binky holders :D http://www.creativelyinclinedmoms.com/


My hobbies keep me pretty busy but I try to first and foremost attend to my growing family. We live in San Antonio while my husband is finishing up his 4th and final year of Dental school. We have 2 little girls, 3 year old Emma and 1 year old Kate. I love them to pieces!!

Here are some samples of her invitations:

Pricing: Each set varies between $13.50 to $16.00 for a set of 10 blank invitations and black envelopes. Each set is high quality paper and acid-free adhesives. They are perfect for any Twilight occasion: classy, unique and fun!

I bought some invitations from Lyssa for my November 19th Twilight Movie Party. I loved them and Lyssa was the most amazing person to deal with. I can not wait to hand my invitations out for the party and know my mom friends will love them. Thanks Lyssa!! You rock!! I will send you some pictures.
