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!!

I have to admit, 3-D is not my favorite, but this challenge placed me a little out of my comfort zone and guess what???  It turned out OK!  The instructions were super easy to follow, and I used this really pretty daisy patterned paper and matching lavender for my project.  What do you think?
