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!!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 432

Welome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 432!  Our theme this week is "Stenciling" and our lovely sponsor is Winnie & Walter.  I used a creative screening (stencil) called Scenery: Do You See What I See?.  The die cut "hugs" is also from Winnie & Walter.  I used Distress inks to sponge over the stencil and then added the die cut.  The flower was sponged with the same color ink and a white brad was placed in the center.  Please visit Winnie & Walter to see some really great products!  You can also visit our challenge this week to see some great inspiration from the design team members.  So glad you stopped by - have a great week!

PIP Challenge 1920


Happy Monday!  It's time for PIP Challenge 1920, an Anything Goes challenge, sponsored this week by All Dressed Up.  I am using this adorable image called "Over the Moon".  I was given this die cut frame (Stampin' Up) from a friend and thought it would make a great wedding or anniversary card.  I fussy cut the image and colored it with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers and Copic markers.  I made the background piece with a "blot" stamp and red ink. The "Celebrate" is from Fun Stampers Journey.  Be sure to visit All Dressed Up to see all their awesome products.  And don't forget to link up your creation at PIP Challenge 1920 for a chance to win a really nice prize from All Dressed Up.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
