A little Summer sneak peek!

Hello friends,
I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Summer and better weather, even though Spring just barely sprang!  I think Stampin' Up! is ready for Summer as well with their new Summer Smooches promotion April 1st-30th.  For these projects I used Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, Bright Blossoms clear stamp set, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Brads, Crystal Effects, Lace Ribbon Border punch and Round Tab punch.  I also used the Framelits Label Collection dies from the Occassions Mini Catalog.  Come visit me at territakashige.stampinup.net.

Thanks and have a wonderful week!

It's Tuesday and time for a link up party over at Sarah Hamer Designs!

My friend Sarah hosts a link up party on her blog every Tuesday:  http://www.pinkcricut.com/2012/03/link-party-6/

She is so gracious to invite everyone to link up current projects they've been working on. This last week, I've been making felt ice cream pin cushions. These are so economical, a  little felt, some embroidery floss, some cute buttons and some fiberfill stuffing.  The hardest part is finding the parfait glasses.  I found one of the old style at my local dollar store, and the shorter one was purchased at Ross for about a dollar each.  I saw this idea in a craft book and just had to try it.  Have a great rest of your week and thanks Sarah!

Terri,

Sammie meeting Jasper

Just before Thanksgiving 2011, Dean brought Sammie home this little boy we now call Jasper.  He was 10 weeks old and was at home with us and part of our family in all of five minutes.  For this page I used Cricut Imagine Teresa Collins Black and White Cricut Cartridge, Bazill paper, my sewing machine and the We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy.

I am also posting this on Sarah Hamer Designs.  Sarah has a link up party every Tuesday. Come check it out at:  http://www.pinkcricut.com/2012/02/link-party-4/

Have a great rest of the week!

Valentine Treats for school and work.

Okay, the last of Valentine's Day crafting. I made Valentine boxes for Sammie's 4th/5th grade class (26 counting the teacher) and 5 for my teammates at work using the Cricut Spring Holiday Cards cartridge.  Then, I made 48 candy spoons with Valentine's sprinkles and used my left over hearts from the Cricut cuts and the heart from my Stampin' Up! Filled With Love set (retired) and took these to work today .  Whew, my Gypsy and E2 got a workout last week!  Head on over to http://www.pinkcricut.com/ to see what everyone else has been up this past week!

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day!

Terri

Be Mine Valentine!

I used my Stampin' Up! Candy Conversations stamp and Filled With Love heart (retired) to make cards and our Valentine's tree this year.

 Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day!

Plateau Indian Project - 4th grade

Samantha was assigned to present Native American clothing for her group as part of her class study of the Plateau Indians.  It was a collabarative effort between Samantha, Dean and myself.  We used the Cricut My World cartridge, various leather and grass papers from Joann's, fake moss, styrofoam (recycled from a box), feathers and various colors of beads.  I cut the people and their clothes, Samantha decorated them with feathers and beads and leather and Dean made the base (and discovered the wonders of hot glue).  We used bamboo sticks glued to the back of the people to stick in the styrofoam and make them stand. 

Have a great week!
Samantha, Dean and Terri
