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"

Holiday Mini Book














I've not had time to do much crafting recently but when I saw a video of a lady making this mini book on Youtube using gorgeous Websters Pages papers I wanted to make one of my own. It is quite cardstock intensive, I think it took about 17 sheets of black 12 x 12 cardstock plus about 8 sheets of white 12 x 12 cardstock. I used a full pack of Fancy Pants Beach Babe patterned papers and some of the glittered embellishments and letters included in the pack. There are so many tags and pages to put photos in I am hoping to get all my holiday photos in it, Kathy said there is room for over 60 photos and I've added extra tags to it so looking forward to filling it up.



I'm taking it to Scrapstars next weekend where some of the ladies have seen the video and want some assistance in assembling it. It's going to be a great weekend.


The link to the video is http://youtu.be/ZyrkbT9hD4k and there is also a video showing how she actually made the pages and put it all together. A huge thank you to the very talented lady who created the mini book, it is wonderful.
