I'm so ready, Jim! Generous giveaway too! Give this ol' brain a chance to get in gear and let's see if there's a project we can conjure up for ya!
A Thank You Give-a-way!!

A very happy birthday to you, Mr. Elmer! My prayers and thoughts are with you in this trying time. Hope that these birthday wishes lift your spirits and know that we are all hoping for a quick recovery. God bless.
Update on my dad, Elmer...
Yesterday I posted a request for prayer on Facebook for my dad. He lives with my sister, Dee Anna, in AZ so the following information is from an update e-mail that she sent to all of our family and extended family members: Right now he is waiting for open heart surgery. He went in Monday March ...
Love the pink tape measure paper! Too cute! My fav quote: "Creativity is contagious. Pass it on." Albert Einstein.
Friday Inspirations & Retail Spotlight
Thank you for a super first Teresa Collins Inspiration Blog Week...It has been great reading all of your warm welcomes, kind comments & compliments and we appreciate each one of you! Today's "Inspiration" comes from Stephanie and are projects and layouts created using the beautiful and classic "...
Cute project, ladies! Love the use of crepe paper for the roses, too. Thanks for sharing and for a chance to win!
V-Blog #91 - Jo's Baby Shower Present
This week Jo shares the most amazing baby shower present... and it is a totally FRUGAL project which makes it even better!!! We love the way that she made the flowes, and yes... Donna is totally "borrowing" this technique to use with her Crafty Chronicle! The Winner of Last week's prizes are...
Congratulations, Teresa, on the new blog! I hope one day you'll be teaching in my area. Have heard many positive comments about your classes. I'm checking in from Glen Burnie, Maryland, right outside Baltimore.
Welcome to the Brand NEW Teresa Collins blog....
We are so happy that YOU are here and very excited to share all of the amazing and exciting things we have planned for this inspiration filled blog! For starters, make sure that you mark your calenders for each Monday, Wednesday and Friday as we will be be posting a little "inspiration" for...
Glad you made it home safely, Donna! I hope you truly enjoyed CHA! I have mentioned to all 3 of my local scrapbook stores about your products and one is actually doing pre-orders! I told them about your papers (especially the corrugated cardboard---yummy!), and the new tools! Can't wait!
Back to normal
I'm in my studio, dressed in sweats, no make-up, with inky painty hands... Everything is back to normal. :) I will be drawing the winners for each of the paper lines, the stamps, and the Chronicle this Saturday. If you want to be entered into the drawing for any or all of the above, you've got j...
That is too wild, Donna! Today I searched for an old, falling apart, unsalvageable dictionary I might use to make your dictionary flowers. My problem is solved! Can't wait for the Chronicle Newspaper to hit the stands!
Crafty Chronicle - Sneak Peek
It is finally time for me to reveal the BIG SECRET! This is the product that I had THE MOST FUN creating!!! For those of you who know me, you know my "signature" technique is making paper flowers from vintage books. Finding a book with the right kind of paper and content is a problem, though. Th...
Wow, Donna! The stamps are wonderful! My favs are "All My Love" and "A Stitch in Time", but I love the Big-ish Flourish too. And the stamp book is beautiful! Love the use of all the different ties/ribbons for the binding. Enjoy CHA!
Stamp Sneak Peek
I really love stamps! They are like a present that keeps on giving. I've been using clear acrylic stamps because they are easy to use and inexpensive BUT there is nothing like stamping with rubber stamps. My new stamps give you the best of both worlds! I designed these stamps to use the way that...
Oh Donna! The Memory Mosaic line is very cool! I especially like the Vintage Papers and Mixed Media. However, I have to say the Smooch Spritz colors are glorious! I have been practicing your Layered Paper Flower technique and I think I'm almost there...lol. Maybe a "new color" to spritz the flowers would put me over the top! Thank you for a chance to win a prize!
Memory Mosaics Sneak - Bonus *Smooch*
I’m posting this one a little early… I am too excited to wait! **edited** I Keep forgetting to put the booth #... dur... I will be in booth #3970 These papers were designed with the Ranger’s Memory Glass and Frames in mind. The images are 2x2, 1x3, 1.5 x 1.5, & 1x1. You can use these for so m...
What a beautiful line, Donna! I really like the subtle colors and the nostalgic feel. Attic Notes and Hope Chest are really calling to me! Nice!
Trunk in the Attic - Sneak Peek
I absolutely love this line. I feel like I shouldn't say that one line is my favorite over another. I wouldn't want them squabbling amongst themselves... but I really do have a soft spot for this one. A lot of the elements in the line were from my Grandma's stuff and you can look for the writtin...
Wow, Donna! How were you able to keep all this a secret? I'd have been bursting at the seams! The tools are fabulous, especially the distresser but I LOVE the corrugated board! It is way cool! I'm sorry I won't be going to CHA but I will definitely look for these little gems as soon as they are released! Great job!
The Distrezz-it-all
I decided I couldn't keep this a secret anymore. I'm just so excited that I couldn't wait... I'm like a kid at Christmas!!! Here it is... My new tool!!! Here is my new calendar that I made with it: It is a handheld, electronic, distressing machine! If you have taken any of my classes or ...
Donna, the papers are soooo kewl! I have to say my favs so far are the Garden Journal Cards and the Summer Sunshine, but they are all very pretty....so femme! Can't wait for the next peek!
Grandma's Garden - Sneak Peek
OK... the peeks have begun. As you saw in my last post, there are 4 paper lines. On top of that I have 24 stamps and a secret product that won't be revealed until just before CHA. This is how the peeks are rolling out: This week I'm showing you Grandma's Garden, I will show the peek for Trunk in...
Donna, the logos are very interesting. It certainly is peaking my curiosity! It's okay to be nervous....just part of the journey! Can't wait for the real reveal..Happy New Year!
Not a real peek... YET ;)
Happy New Year! I love new beginnings. Speaking of new beginnings... here are the logos for all 4 of my new paper lines that will be released at the CHA trade show later THIS MONTH: I've got all sorts of emotions bumping into each other over this... I'm happy above all else but I'm nervo...
Donna, it definitely sounds like you've been burning the candle at both ends! I'm sure the results will have been worth it once your product hits the stores! Can't wait to see it all. Be sure and get SOME sleep, though...lol A very safe, happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours.
Sneak Peeks starting soon!
Sorry for the radio silence my friends. This is normally a very busy time of the year for everyone but on top of the hustle and bustle, I've been doing LOADS of new product design for the winter release at the next CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) trade show. I pulled an all nighter on Tuesday ...
Thank you for the heads up on the Chat. This will be my first time and I wouldn't want to miss it. Hope to see ya then!
