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 2020

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2020, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Polkadoodles. Please visit their site to see all their amazing products!  I colored this beauty with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers and mounted it on black cardstock and then on colored cardstock from my stash that was embossed with a Stampin' Up embossing folder.  The sentiment is also from Polkadoodles.  I'm dedicating this card to my niece, who is a nurse working in Iowa. I'm so proud of her!  Be sure to check out our Challenge 2020 and see some great Polkadoodles images and inspiration from the other design team members.  Thanks so much for stopping by - take care and stay safe!!

PIP Challenge 2019

Good Day, and welcome to PIP Challenge 2019, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored by PIP Challenges this week!  I found the idea for this card when I was cleaning my craft room this past month.  (Yes, I actually can see the carpet now!!) I got to use a number of dies - 2 ovals, a Fiskars edge punch and 2 Stampin' Up label dies. The sentiment is from Fun Stampers Journey. I hope you will visit our challenge this week and see the awesome inspiration from the other design team members.  Make sure you uplink your creation for a chance to win a lovely prize from PIP Challenges!! Thanks so much for stopping by - have a great week!

PIP Challenge 2018

Happy Monday, and welcome to PIP Challenge 2018, sponsored this week by Gerda Steiner.  Thank you to Gerda Steiner for providing this adorable bear image for the design team to work with. Check out all their adorable images at their website. I wanted to make a springy card and use some things I haven't used in awhile, so this is what I came up with.  The fence die cut  was a gift, so I'm not sure where it came from. The little flowers are "stubby" stamps from Judith.  I daubered green for grass and made some clouds for a background.  Please visit our challenge this week to see some great inspiration from the other design team members and be sure to uplink your image for a chance to win a nice prize!!  Great to see you - thanks very much for stopping by!
