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!!

PIP Challenge 1925

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1925, an Anything Goes challenge, sponsored this week by The Cutting Café.  Thank you so much to The Cutting Café for proving these Greeting Card Box instructions for us to work from.  Please visit their website to see some really great projects!!  3-D images are not in my normal comfort zone, so I was very surprised that my project turned out at all!  But I'll be honest...this was really easy!  The instructions were very easy to follow and there were many options I could have done.  I just chose to keep it simple.  I used some patterned paper from my stash to cover the greeting card box and added a flower embellishment.  See the other design team members' projects at PIP Challenge 1925 and upload yours for a chance to win a nice prize from The Cutting Café.  Thanks very much for stopping by!
