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"

Forever Love



Here is the second of two layouts I made at the weekend using some Prima Pixie Glen papers I bought in a craft shop sale recently. I think I just used two sheets of the same paper, one side had the dots and the other had lots of strips and small squares etc, perfect for cutting up and laying onto some white cardstock. The pink piece of paper needed jazzing up a bit so I stamped some text onto it, added some tickets and other little pieces from the sheet you cut up and with the tiny left over bits I punched some flowers then made some rolled up flowers for the middles to give them a more 3D effect. I made a tag which I tucked into a pocket behind the photo. The "Forever" part of the title is from a sheet of sticker embellies that have been kicking around in my craft room for years and I added the "Love" text from a strip of text, again on the side of the patterned paper that you can cut up. As with the first layout, the photo is of friends Alan and Sally on their wedding day.
