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"

Wedding Anniversary, The LOTV Way

Our friends are having their wedding anniversary this weekend and I always make them a special card as I was the one who set them up on a date a about seven years back and they are still absolutely devoted to each other and now have a gorgeous baby boy.  The image is a pre-coloured image from Lili of The Valley and I cut it out along with the bigger red heart using some Stampin' Up! thin metal dies and pricked the edges with the co ordinating prick template.  The ribbon is also from Stampin' Up! and I used their punches and stamp for the greeting.  The flowers are Prima with a touch of glitter glue on the edges and I added red to the heart on the book and the little girls hat with a pro-marker and then added Glossy Accents to the little heart to make it shine.  The papers are scraps from my scraps box with some self adhesive plasterers mesh over the top.  The mesh came from DIY store B & Q, which my friend Kathy calls her favourite craft store!  You get a huge roll for under a fiver and I use it on both cards and scrapbook layouts as it adds texture and visual interest and its so easy to use with it already having glue on the back.

    Hi Lesley, I love the card and I particularly love the idea of the plasterer's mesh; might have to have me a little trip to B&Q but perhaps not on a bank holiday weekend! Have a good one, Kate x
