I had some leftover Teresa Collins "Giving Thanks" paper leftover from last years mini album.  I do not normally work with oranges and browns but thought I'd challenge myself and pair it up with some orange and brown flowers Bunma had sent me.  I love how this came together , I think it is still "me" but in a different color scheme!  I featured a new long spray from I Am Roses - these long sprays make it so easy to arrange flowers on 12x12 layouts, just adhere and mix in some "loose" flowers around it - and voila instant flower fabulousness! Here are some pictures of today's project: Here are the links to the products used in this project: Big White Gardenias http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_show_pro_detail&cid=57602&pid=90795 Daisies (I used tangerine) http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_showcat&l=1&cid=20922 Tangerine Paper Flowers Spray http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay...

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 f...

Halloween is just around the corner (gasp!) and what better way to kick it off with a fun layout.  I just ordered the new Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows collection and knew I HAD to use it right away.  Traditional Halloween colors in super fun designs with a TC flair, I loved working with this paper and this project came together so easily. Note to self - USE PAPER YOU LOVE TO CREATE!  Also wanted to use a lot of the supplies that I had not gotten the opportunity to play with yet.  I busted out some Tim Holtz Dies and Sizzlits along with a super fun My Favorite Things banner trio die and it was ON!  Also, paired these with black glitter paper and voila! I wanted to create a "scene" with the Rickety House die and Branch Tree die so I used some 1.25 inch black roses to create a bush area.  Also, wanted to use some orange 0.75 inch flowers and black 0.25 inch to highlight one of the rosettes I created with the Tim Holtz Paper Rosette die. Here are the li...

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...
