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"

That’s Another Fine Mess!

 

I bought this wonderful set of stamps from Craftstash recently.  The set is called Stan and Ollie by Aall and Create.  In the range there is also a Marilyn Monroe stamp set and a Charlie Chaplin stamp set.  I’ve been making a lot of slimline cards recently and for this card I used a slimline die set by Newton’s Nook to cut the frame and window panel from black Centura Pearl cardstock with silver glitter card behind.  I stamped the images with a Tonic black hybrid inkpad and coloured with Spectrum Noir Triblend pens before fussy cutting the characters out and adhering them to the card with foam pads.  I finished off with a thin layer of  Glossy Accents on the hats and some gems top and bottom.

It is nice to be able to try products by a variety of different brands, having resigned from the Crafters Companion Design Team in January to allow me to increase my working hours temporarily until the end of March.  I’m reducing my hours again in two weeks so I will have so much time to craft.  I’m a very lucky lady.
