About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Terri. My grandmothers introduced me to crafting as a little girl through crocheting and embroidering on dish towels. I was HOOKED!! Over the years I discovered that stamping and card making are my faves. And what makes it even better is that my 2 sisters like it also! It's fun when we can get together and make cards!! I love learning different techniques and trying new things. Thanks so much for stopping by....follow along if you'd like and see what we can create!!

This cutie is called "Some Bunny Adores You". I colored it with Copic markers and then layered on some purple cardstock and a piece of Easter Egg designer paper.  I added 3 little gems for accent. The sentiment is die cut and popped up with pop dots. You can check out all the other design team members' creations at PIP Challenge 2110.  We hope you'll join us by uplinking your creation for a chance to win a wonderful prize from Polkadoodles!  Thanks for stopping by - so nice to see you!
