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 2104

 

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2104, an Anything Goes Challenge sponsored this week by Cas-ual Fridays Stamps. A big thank you to Cas-ual Fridays stamps for providing the stamps for the design team members to use.  What awesome products they have - you can check them out here at Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.  I used a technique I haven't done in years.  It's a stamp pad direct to water color paper technique.  I stamped my ink pads directly on the water color paper, then spritzed them with water. The color runs and makes a cool background. After drying, I stamped the images on the paper and added a few gems for embellishment.  Please visit our Challenge 2104 to see some great inspiration from the other design team members and uplink your creation for a chance to win a great prize from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

PIP Challene 2103

 

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2103, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Polkadoodles.  Thanks so much to Polkadoodles for supplying an image for the design team members to use.  This adorable image is called "Too Cute Xmas Bella - Lots of Gifts".  Please visit Polkadoodles to see all their awesome products!  I colored the image with Copic markers and added a little bit of red Spectrum Noir Sparkle Marker to the package bow. I used a scalloped rectangle die cut and then a circle die cut on the top layer of designer paper and a scalloped heart to punch out the sentiment.  The bow was made from a scrap piece of twine.  Please check out our Challenge 2103 to see all the great inspiration and uplink your creation for a chance to win a really nice prize from Polkadoodles.  As always, I appreciate you stopping by!  Have a great week!

PIP Challenge 2101

 

Happy New Year!  Welcome to PIP Challenges "Anything Goes" Challenge 2021.  And welcome to another year of creative fun, starting off with Newton's Nook.  This cutie is called "Newton Loves Coffee" and I also used Newton's "Snowfall Stencil".  You can find all their awesome products HERE.  I used a dauber and light blue ink to make the background with the stencil.  I spritzed it with a shimmer spray (but it's hard to see in the picture).  I colored the image with Copic markers and added a little shading behind the image.  Die cuts were used to cut out the image.  Please stop by our Challenge 2021 and be sure to upload your creation for a chance to win a great prize from Newton's Nook!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!
