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 2010

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2010, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by The Cutting Café. Thanks to them for providing images for the design team to use. This mason jar had a number of toppers to choose from and many sentiments. I thought it would be difficult to put together, but it was really pretty easy.  I used a piece of acetate over top of the flowers (hard to see in the picture) and then placed the label on top of that. I was able to use up quite a few scraps from my stash!!  Two clear gems finished off the card, as well as a piece of twine around the top. Be sure to check out all the amazing projects available at The Cutting Café...….so many awesome ideas!  And be sure to visit us at PIP Challenge 2010 and upload your image for a chance to win a really nice prize from The Cutting Café.
