About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Terri. I started crafting at an early age when my grandmothers taught me how to crochet and embroider on dish towels. Over the years I've tried many other crafting mediums, and have found my favorite in rubber stamping. My wonderful guy (Craig) supports me in everything I do........I'm very blessed!! I love learning new things and hopefully will inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and try a few new things. Thanks so much for stopping by....have a wonderful day!

MFP Simple Salutations 109 - oriental background paper


MFP Speedy TV Simple Salutations 109 - oriental background paper
I didn't have any oriental background paper - my original thought was to use a Chinese take-out menu pieced together to make an "aged tiles" type background. But that didn't really work, so I made this one with a Hero Arts mini stamp of  Chinese words.

MFP SWAT 110 - polka dots
I was very excited about this challenge because I love polka dots on cards! This looks nothing like the picture in my head of how this would turn out, but I'm happy with the result. :-)

MFP Oriental Sketch Challenge 48


MFP Oriental Sketch Challenge 48
I really liked this layout and wanted to use my gold leafing pen because it looked so pretty on the designer samples. Unfortunately it didn't turn out as pretty on my card but I think with some more practice I will get the hang of it.

MFP Tutorial Time Challenge 112 - Evaporated Milk


MFP Speedy TV. Tutorial Time Challenge - Evaporated Milk.
This was my first time using evaporated milk for stamping. I had some difficulty getting an image that would keep its design after being stamped on the paper and heated - smaller images bubbled up and I couldn't make out what they were. It was a very interesting challenge and fun once I found the stamps to use.

I loved the colors in the inspiration pictures, especially the third picture with the deep purple, gold and green. I used a new stamp I received as a gift and added the words.......made me think of Craig, because he's in paradise every time he goes fishing!!
