Just wanted to share my latest craze - ruffled party streamer with different Karlas001 trims, I love using the "Rina's Baaling" and flatback pearls. I love making these because they can be customized to any project you are making - you can use different colors of crepe paper and mix and match the centers. Thanks for checkin' in!

Here's is a card I made using embellishments from http://www.karlas001.etsy.com/ . I used the Greeting Farm Fancy Anya, I've been wanting to make another crepe paper embellishment and made this one with off white party streamer, you can watch me here: Here's a pic: Thanks for stoppin' by!

I have had this fabulous Prima paper in my stash for a while, I remember how excited I was when it first came out.  This paper also came with matching chipboard shapes with glitter detail - chipboard shapes are one of my favorite embellishments (next to flowers of course!).  Prima Paper - Raspberry Tea Collection "icy sweet", "peach cobbler" Prima Paper - Strawberry Kisses Collection "Raspberry Lemonade" It was time to break out this paper and create!  With so many yummies in my stash it was hard to narrow down exactly what I would use in this layout.  I accented the paper with my most favorite Karlas001 Etsy crystal leaves, tea dyed Prima lace, Prima Lovely burlap leaves in brown and a Prima Say It In Pearls center for the gardenia. I also tried a new technique by coloring the stems of the flowers with Lindy Stamp Gang Dark Chocolate Truffle Stain.  The stems come in green but for this layout I wanted to color all the stems a deep chocolate brown

So I'm in LOVE with the new Teresa Collins Christmas Home paper....decided to get a jump start on the holidays and start my Christmas projects NOW!!!!  I had so much fun creating the Haunted Hallows layout that I decided to create another 12x12.  12x12's are challenging for me and I do not really do them, I decided to challenge myself and create a couple (...hope you follow my YouTube channel (scrapstress), because there are MORE to come!, hint hint)  I also wanted to use some non traditional Christmas flowers to accent my layout.  I used Red, Black, White and Green flowers in different styles to match the colors in my layout. I LOVE the way this came out.  I love this time of year because Christmas and Halloween layouts are the best, the new paper coming out is so LUSCIOUS, I almost feel like doing these themey projects all year round...WHY wait!!!  Here are some pictures, click on the picture for a better view: Here are the I Am Roses flowers used in this projec

Just a quickie post today. Wanted to play with a couple of new items in my stash, I'm head over heals over the Papertrey Ink Cardstock, it is really sturdy and can hold up to the many layers I like to use on my cards.  Also wanted to try out the Papertrey Ink Boxy Banners Die - I am planning to make a Halloween banner with this die but for now just wanted to see how it cut out so I layered it on to this card.  The paper is from Pink Paislee Phantom which uses some of the House of 3 artwork.  I LOVE THIS PAPER.  I also used the matching stamp set, which is fabulous Halloween Lusciousness to the MAX!!!!  Michaels is carrying some fabulous Halloween ribbon so I threw that in too.  With this card I wanted to create a super dimensional embellishment with one of my favorite stamps in the Phantom stamp set. - Stamp on Patterned Paper (boxy banners die) - Stamp again on white cardstock, cut out interior frame - Stamp out again and cut out skull and put Ranger Crackle Accents on the s
