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"

Cherish

This layout shows my daughter Louise at a photo shoot she did when she was about four years old, she's 19 now. She got to dress up in all kinds of costumes and I got a lovely series of photos, which were lost for many years but happily turned up again a couple of years ago. I used the gorgeous Beau Chateau patterned papers from Stampin' Up and tore and rolled an apperture in the paper then cut some of the patterned paper to create a frame on two sides of the apperture. I inked the papers with Stampin' Up ink and added ribbon and a flower made with the Fun Flowers Bigz Die, which I inked, scrunched up and finished off with an antique brad. I finished the layout off with three butterflies punched with the butterfly punch with some bling to decorate the body and used the label punch to add Louise's name and the year the photo was taken.
