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"

A Bag and A Box

I am still bouncing off the walls with inspiration from the Stampin' Up! Regional Training Day last Saturday.  In the photo is a little handbag I've seen a few times but never got around to making and a little box in the shape of a slice of cake.  The handbag is made from one sheet of 12" x 12" pink polka patterned paper from the Stampin' Up! Subtles Collection, one small piece of Wisteria Wonder cardstock, one small piece of Twitterpated designer paper, a small piece of ribbon and two velcro dots (not Stampin' Up!).  I die cut the Wisteria Wonder cardstock and Twitterpated paper using the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. 

The slice of cake box I made from a pattern in the wonderful Kadoosjes magazine, a copy of which I was given by the very lovely and very talented Jolanda Meurs.  I used the pink polka patterned paper from the Subtles collection again for the middle section of the cake and topped it with a piece of Twitterpated paper.  The white frills I punched from white cardstock using the Stampin' Up! Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch.  I punched a couple of circles and scalloped circles from the pink polka paper and the Twitterpated paper and cut them into spirals and then rolled them into flowers.
