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"

Have I Told You Lately (That I Love You?)

I can't get enough of James the bear by Lili of The Valley, especially this Big Heart stamp.  Lili of the Valley's monthly challenge for February is Name That Tune!  Create a project that fits with a song, old or new and as it was Valentine's Day I thought I would make my teddy bear collecting hubby this card which I thought went perfectly with the song title "Have I Told You Lately (That I Love You?) by Rod Stewart.   I coloured the image using Pro-markers and added some Liquid Pearl dots and I cut the card blank with a thin metal die.  The patterned paper is from my scraps bag as is the coloured cardstock.  The sentiment on the front is from Lili of the Valley's clear stamp set 18, Greetings - Postmarks and the verse inside is from set 65, Quotables - Love.  I had to mask off a tiny bit of the verse stamp so it fit perfectly inside the die cut circle but I don't think anyone will notice if I don't say anything...doh!  Hubby loved the card and I loved making it.
