Here's some pics of an album I made, Super busy, but pushing through! So excited that it is Christmas, Wow it came fast!!!! Merry Christmas Everyone! Looking forward to what 2011 will bring!

Tis the Season Dood... I've been busy busy busy Been sick, getting better, finally. Been working, hard. Been cleaning my "scrap" room, its a never ending process, seriously. Also been still loving copic markers and paper piecing, tried my hand at making some cards, its fun, i can see why people love it so much, so i took the Sizzix Frames a break and made these cards, i like making these small projects because i've been focusing on PHOTO organization.  i want to start making 12x12 layouts so that is why i've been organizing photos and getting the scraproom in order, in between i like making tiny things here and there, the cleaning gets...monotonous. i like buying 6x6 paper pads for paper piecing they are super cheap and the proportion of the design fits well with the size of the greeting farm stamps, i get my 6x6 paper pads at yourscrapbooksupply.com  they are always on sale and for as low as 3 dollars and some change, i love this place, its my go-to

Felt like digging into the Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper stack, also really wanted to break into some very cute Crafty Secrets stamps - "Sew Special" and "Material Girl" Had an awesome time creating custom flowers using iamroses 1.5 inch flowers and Tim Holtz Distress ink in Stormy Sky and Antique Linen Enjoy! R

I cant stop making these!  Carlene (pinkscrapper99) on YouTube gave me this adorable kit that included the Whoo-ligans paper by BoBunny.  Thrilled to recieve this because I didnt purchase any Halloween stuff this year.  (LOL I purchased other stuff....Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology).  Had to find something to do that was relaxing and brainless so I paper peiced and big shotted, pretty fun, I am also doing a new thing to jazz up my paper peicing...adding Glossy Accents!! Here's what I made using the Sweet & Toxic set by The Greeting Farm! Have a great Monday peeps, back to the GAAAAA-rind! R

This is a card I made for a fellow youtubey buddy!!! Been very swamped at work lately but I still try to make something everyday, thought I would use one of the paper piecings I made on a prior post to make this card. Some of the supplies are from my favorite YT buds, the fiber is from Liann who is creatingwithaloha on youtube and the curly label punch and scallop edge punch is from my girl Kathy who is canadianscrappergirl, thanks ladies again, YOUR THE BEST! Supply List: Paper - Pink Paislee Old School Stamps - The Greeting Farm "Hello Ian", sentiment from "Roll Call" Punches - Stampin Up Recollections Mini Rose Nestabilities ...Almost Friday! Take Care Peeps, <3 Rina

i heart vampires turned some of my Greeting Farm stamps into vampy vampires i have been using this sizzix die like mad, this was a random clearance die that turned into one of my faves! i also heart iron man, i added a little red jelly heart to edward's chest, inspired by iron man and the ARC reactor, yup i'm still watching iron man every night LOL

Been totally inspired by the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante goodness that Arlene ( butterflykisseswithlove.blogspot.com ) has been creating.  I totally wanted to make her this...  I've been itching to "alter" something, so when i saw these raw wooden spools I knew exactly what I was gonna do...loved loved loved making this, it came together so nicely, see my vid here on YouTube for the play by play Paper - Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Tim Holtz - Ideaology Foliage, Clock Face, Black Soot Distress Ink Melting Pot, UTEE, Mod Podge iamroses Prima Bling Lace from Paperdrama Wooden Spool Super fun to do hope you give it a try R

Still obsessed with paper piecing I really love the look of it! and its super fun to do while watching tv...or a movie....or...like let's say while your watching Iron Man! I specifically bought some 6x6 paper pads for this purpose, they are the perfect size for paper piecing and there is very little waste. No guilt cutting up a 12x12! For this grouping I used: Paper: Pink Paislee Sweetness Nestibilities: Small Oval, Small Scalloped Oval Baby Roses: iamroses Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Dressy & Miss Anya Love I heart making these!, Sorry for the dark pics, these were taken late at night with my phone LOL! The one above is my favorite one, I love the colors, she is definitely ready for the Kentucky Derby with her cute cute hat. Thanks for stoppin' by, rina

2nd post of the day!!!! Lunch break...had some yummy Pho (Vietnamese Soup) with lots of chili sauce and stopped by a cute lil bakery and got these little mini cupcakes...Red Velvet was DELICIOUS! later! rina

I am completely obsessed with Iron Man... I don't watch a lot of movies or TV (EXCEPT for Gray's Anatomy & Project Runway). One night hubby was was watching Iron Man...I watched and HELLO I'm hooked, totally hooked... I got this CUTE little action figure, the helmet flips up to reveal the face of Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.). Its...adorable.  I used the Gold/Red combo as color inspiration for this Greeting Farm stamp: Cheeky Rockabilly I didn't have the black hair copic markers when I first got this stamp, but now that I do, it was super fun to see what I could do with the hair - Black Hair is my fave hair color! Copic Markers: C9, C7, C5, C3 Thats all I got for now, hee hee, NOW back to watching Iron Man... later dudes! rina

RANDOM... So went to IKEA and found this amazing frame   (Click Here), didn't end up buying it because it was EXTRA LARGE, awesome but way too big! I was on the HUNT for some storage solutions, but no luck this time :( Had the Swedish Meatballs for the first time, they were only $3.99 a plate and they were so super yummy, it came with meatballs, gravy, mashies, and lingonberry jam on the side. Sooooo worth it, here's a pic, also experimented with my House of 3 digital brushes and some Ali Edwards digital brushes, kinda fun.  This was a quick test run, hope to do MORE digital brush projects... later dudes, rina

Yo! Just a quickee, Jo ( paperdrama ) gave me the heads up one of my YouTube vids was featured on the icopic blog, pretty cool! http://blog.icopic.com/2010/09/weve-never-offered-savings-like-this_24.html later dudes, rina

In addition to talking (see Rina's Youtube Channel ): ...I do also LOVE to write...its time for the BLOG-iness to happen. HEE! LATEST OBSESSION : Copics and Greeting Farm Here's a little secret from a Copic Newbie...coloring black hair whether you use the cool (C9, C7, C5, C3)or warm (W9, W7, W5, W3) grays is FAR MUCH EASIER to do than any other colored hair..WHY? because those ARE the colors you use (well those are the ones I use) - with the other colored hair there are so many color combos. what to chose? what to chose?  Brown Hair is my nemesis...have not mastered it yet... Anyhoo, this image was slightly DRAMA, I'll list the colors that I used but DISCLAIMER, these aren't the colors that you necessarily should use, but more the colors I have in my stash, and most of the time I cover up boo-boos with other colors so there you go, here is the list of the "madness" Face - E50, E51 Eyelids, Shoes - E31, E34 Hair (Drama Part) - E31, E35, YR21, YR24, Y21 Pant

Bit the bullet...I have a baaaaaaa-log!
