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"

Snow Cute Choccy Bags





I wanted to give my workmates a little Christmas gift each so I made these little gift bags using red card and covered them in this gorgeous snowy paper from Lili of the Valley's 8" x 8" Frosty Christmas paper pad.  The penguin stamp is the Snow Cute stamp also by Lili of the Valley and the little tag was stamped using one of the little tag stamps from Lili of the Valley's Christmas Sentiment Tags set (set 32).  I coloured the images with Pro-Markers and added some glitter glue and pearls, punched the images out using a circle punch and made matching scalloped circles to mount the image on.  I added these to the front of the gift bags on foam pads and filled the bags with chocolate coins then tied the tops with some oddments of ribbon.  My workmates loved them, the chocolate didn't last long but they all took the bags home to hang from their Christmas trees.

    Hi Lesley,

    These bags are so cute! (or should I say 'Snow Cute'! Ha ha!) They're so simple but so effective and I'm really glad your workmates loved them!

    Thanks for joining our LOTV 'Anything But a Card' challenge!

    Good Luck!

    Hugs
