About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Terri. My grandmothers taught me how to crochet and embroider on dish towels when I was a little girl, and that started my love of crafting. Over the years I tried different things but my favorite is still stamping and card making. And what makes it better now is that my 2 sisters like it also!! It's fun when we can get together and make cards!! I love learning new ideas and techniques and give hope to others to step out of their comfort zone and try a few new things. Thanks so much for stopping by....follow along if you'd like and see what we can create!!

MFP Simple Salutations #116 - Things With Wings

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the challenge title for this week was BUTTERFLIES! I think I have more butterfly stamps than any other thing in my stash.  I like the way they just flitter around looking like they don't have a care in the world!

The colors in this picture didn't turn out quite right, but it's the best I could get it.  The background is supposed to be more green.  I like this sketch - a nice layout for many types of cards!
