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 1932


Happy Monday, and welcome to PIP Challenge 1932, an "Anything Goes" challenge sponsored this week by Newton's Nook Designs.  Now, all of you know that I am a HUGE Newton fan, so it should come as no surprise that I used as many stamps as I could from this adorable "Newton's Summer Treats" set.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Tri Markers and added a little Spectrum Noir sparkle marker and Journey glaze (Fun Stampers Journey) on the ice cream toppings. The sentiment is raised with pop dots.  Please visit this week's Challenge 1932 to see some awesome inspiration from the other members of the design team and uplink your creative item for a chance to win a $15 gift code from Newton's Nook Designs.  That's a really generous prize!!  Thank you Newton's Nook for being such a great sponsor for us!  Thank you, too, for stopping by, and have a great week!
