What's In A Title?

The blog title is my take on my favourite quote from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, when Bella realises she is in love with vampire Edward. My version is slightly less impressive than that in the book but never the less true:


"About three things I was absolutely positive, first I was an obsessed crafter, second, there was a part of me - and I didn't know how potent that part might be, that thirsted for beautiful craft materials, dies, stamps, papers, cardstock etc, and third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with scrapbooking and cardmaking"

I seem to have lost my mojo a bit recently so I decided to do some scraplifts to use up some of the patterned papers taking over my craft room. I have lots of Fancy Pants papers so I went to their website and printed off some layouts from their gallery. From some left over Happy Together papers I put together 5 page kits and two from left over Love Birds papers. Together with a couple of page kits using the Stella & Rose monthly kit from Sarah's cards I had eleven page kits to be going at. I completed the "You Had Me At Hello" whilst watching the qualifying for the Grand Prix. I have scraplifted this from a layout of the same name by Ronda Palazzari. I have a bit of a thing at the moment for shaping flowers now using my McGill flower shaping tool kit, which comprises lots of big balled tools and makes the paper flowers lovely and rounded and gives them a more raised look.

    Beautiful page Lesley! Love all the hand cut flowers, very fiddly but soooo worth it!
    Thank you so much for the comment on my page, often I'm not overly happy with what I create but that one I was really pleased with so it is lovely to get nice feedback. Those stamps are gorgeous aren't they! I haven't seen them over here I got mine from Ebay, I ordered quite a few things from one seller and even with shipping it was a lot cheaper than getting them over here.
