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 Challenge 455

Hello, and welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 455.  Our theme this week is "add a moving part" and our sponsor is All Dressed Up.  This adorable image is called "Baseball Bear". Thank you to All Dressed Up for providing an image for the design team members to use. I colored the image with Copic markers, then layered it on paper from my stash. I added a "Happy Birthday" sentiment (sorry - not sure where it is from). My moving part is the baseball itself. I cut it out and made a wobble ball using craft ribbon wire.  I think I will send this to my great-nephew for his birthday later this month.  He sits at a lot of baseball games and I think he will like it.  When he's old enough, I'm sure he will be a great player too! Please visit our Challenge 455 and get your creation uploaded for a chance to win a prize from All Dressed Up.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

PIP Challenge 2015

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2015, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.  Thank you to Bugaboo for providing an image for the design team members to use. This handsome guy is called "Swimming Pool Peeker" and is colored with Copic Markers.  I used a circle die cut to make the background and then fussy cut the image and glued it with part of it on the open circle.  Another piece of paper from my stash makes the background paper.  This could easily be turned into a shaker card.  I added a yellow sun and a few sequins from Fun Stampers Journey.  I also added a little Journey Glaze to his mask.  Please visit our challenge and get your creation uplinked for a chance to win a nice prize from Bugaboo Stamps.  Thank you so much for stopping by - have a great week!

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge

It's been a very long time since I entered a card challenge.  I've really missed it and thought I would try this sketch challenge from My Favorite Things.  All the papers are from my stash, and I used a few die cuts to make a heart, flower and dragonflies. I added a gem to the flower and Spectrum Noir sparkle marker to the dragonflies and flower.  I really enjoyed making this card and hope I've done the sketch justice.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
