WELCOME! to the I Am Roses “Tis the Season” Blog Hop. We have so much holiday inspiration coming to you from our Designers & Guest Hoppers. You have just seen the fabulous project from Patricia!  Thanks Patricia!!!  I am delighted to take part in this years blog hop as a Guest Hopper! I had the best time creating this "Happy Holidays" card using 2 different sizes Poinsettias.  These flowers go perfect with glitter paper, I used silver glitter paper, but I think gold glitter paper will look just as pretty.  I also used some pearls to embellish the image of the card and red stickles to embellish image.  I love the way this came out!!  The flowers add holiday spirit to the card as well as a bright pop of color.  This  card will also look pretty using one color of flowers or just using 2 colors, I had to use all three because they are just so pretty, the centers also add the right pop of dimension. Here they are on the I...

** Remember the I Am Roses Color Challenge is going on NOW, there's still time to participate find the details here: http://iamroses-challenge.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-iar-color-challenge.html I've been obsessed with the "Sweet Stack" by DCWV, I have been loving all things candy, cupcakes and glitter!!!  This stack also goes well with the Greeting Farm Birthday Anya II stamp.  I had tons of fun experimenting with the hair color and different ways to glitter the image. To top it off I added some of my all time favorite I Am Roses Flowers: White Semi Open Rosebuds http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_show_pro_detail&cid=20624&pid=80876 0.50 Inch Mini Roses (Round) http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_show_pro_detail&cid=22191&pid=89126 0.50 Inch Mini Roses (Curly/Shabby) http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_show_pro_detail&cid=22188&pid=89107 S10 Pink Flowers (Currently Ou...

Hi Everyone, Back with another I Am Roses project!  I wanted to create a card for an awesome friend and decided to make a "Just Because" card.  I love the idea of suprising someone "just because".  I have been really liking The Greeting Farm Miss Anya sets of stamps, they are super easy to color and super cute. Here I wanted to mix a citrus color with a neutral (I'm just SO into color these days).  Also, wanted to bust out my new bottle of Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Stain in Dark Chocolate Truffle.  Love this color, it is very deep, rich and the perfect shade of luscious brown.  I used it to paint the petals of the I Am Roses Puffy Daisies.  Products featured in this vid: - Mixed Sizes: Orange and Tangerine http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_show_pro_detail&cid=20912&pid=87432 - Puffy Daisies http://www.iamroses.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=cat_showcat&l=2&cid=22988 - 0.75 Inch Orange and Tan...

I love using I Am Roses to accent my cards, I made three Greeting Farm Princess Collection cards using some of my favorite I Am Roses flowers: 1.00 inch pink roses R6-1 0.50 inch white roses R8-15 0.75 inch white roses R3-15 0.75 inch pink roses R3-1 Small White flowers S10-15 I also challenged myself to practice my copic coloring on brown hair, the three copic markers I used to achieve the brown hair look on my cards were E74, E77, E79.  I'm finding out the best way to learn how to color is to practice and be patient, for me I've learned that you have to wait for your image to dry to see the final result. The stamps I used are from The Greeting Farm - these are super fun to color and practice hair with, also the dresses are super easy to paper peice and layer with. Princess Anya Princess Collection no. 02 Princess Collection no. 03 Here are some up close photos, I love the way these came out and the flowers are so easy to work with - a great final touch! ...

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

Quickee post, Here is my layout using "Freestyle" by Teresa Collins and The Greeting Farm stamps! Also, busted out with some new Maya Road trim! Paper Piecing is one of my new loves!

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

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...
