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 Chalenge 447

Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 447, our last challenge of 2019.  I really appreciate you stopping by!  This week's challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge, and I chose to use up lots of scrap items from my large stash!!  The designer paper was a gift from a very special friend and I highlighted some of the flowers with Spectrum Noir sparkle marker.  The sentiment is one of my favorites from my go to box (sorry - don't remember who it is from).  And the ribbon is from my ribbon stash that I thought brought out the darker colors in the designer paper.    I hope you will visit Challenge 447 and check out the great inspiration from the other design team members.  It has been a great year and I hope you will continue to follow us in 2020.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

PIP Challenge 1950

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1950, an Anything Goes Challenge.  Our prize this week is a gift certificate from Mo's Digital Pencil.  Be sure to check out their wonderful images HERE.  I was given this beautiful designer paper from a special friend and used it to make a sympathy card to send to my cousins who recently lost their mom, my Aunt Kathy.  She was a really neat lady and I wanted to send them something special.  The sentiment was from my box of go-to greetings (I believe Stampin' Up, but I'm not sure).  I added the ribbon for embellishment.  Please check out the great inspiration from our design team members at Challenge 1950.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

PIP Challenge 1949

It's time for PIP Challenge 1949, An Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Sheepski Designs.  You can check out all their amazing images at their website.   I colored this beautiful poinsettia and candle with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers and used a gelly roll sparkle pen to highlight the leaves on the poinsettia.  The Peace sentiment is from Fun Stampers Journey.  I used silver glitter paper and a shimmery blue paper for the background.  The picture does not do the colors justice, for sure!!  I appreciate you stopping by and hope you'll check out Challenge 1949 to see some really cool inspiration from the other design team members.  Have a great week!
