Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-April 2024- This or That? with Grassy Grove

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie. 

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This or That? is this month’s theme. My project is Sunrise? or Sunset?

My Project for today

I really enjoy using the Blending Brushes and the vibrant Stampin’ Up! Inks to create the sunrise and sunset scenes.

This card was made using the Grove Dies which coordinate with the Grassy Grove stamp set. The exciting news is that these are crrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!

I really struggled with coming up wtih a This or That? for this month’s Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. I have always enjoyed playing with the Blending Brushes. I love how you can blend the inks together! Heere are photos of the sunrises and sunsets here in Arizona that I used for inspiration.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from Australia to Alaska across twelve different time zones. Each month this group of creative friends prepare a project for a theme. Below is an image of the whole crew and where they are from around the globe. Such a talented and wonderful group of people! You will want to visit everyone to be sure to see all the amazing projects!

We all love sharing joy with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of inspiration!

Hello, my name is Theresa. I have 4 children and a wonderful husband of 30 years. I am a retired Family Physician. I love having time now to create and craft, so much so that I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I have been a demonstrator more than 5 years and am having a blast! Not only do I get to craft, I meet new friends from all over the world! Crafting gives me something positive to do and to share with others. I love to have my monthly Zoom Card Making Classes so others can craft with me. I have so much fun creating the cards for others to make! My blog was initially geared toward the beginner stamper in order to help others get started stamping on their own at home. If you need information to get started, look for my first blogs. My more recent posts have been cards and projects for Blog Hops and challenges. Stop by to see my projects and those of folks from around the world! Add more creativity to your life today!

  1. Oh my goodness Theresa …. you really want me to choose between these two stunning cards. Your Sunrise and Sunset are equally beautiful, I am gobsmacked with your creative talent with creating these scenes with your blending brushes. If I really have to choose, then I will go with the Sunset …. I love how your clouds have come up in this one. So well done!!

  2. Great Cards! The blending is so well done. I favor the one with the blue in the foreground. but both are amazing

  3. Oh my gosh, these are both absolutely stunning! I feel like I’m sitting right there watching the sun set in each setting. I do love the Night of Navy option as it reminds me of the Blue Mountains that I live near.

  4. Wauw! You did an amazing job. I just love both cards and the background is amazing!

  5. Oh my goodness! What striking cards! Love how you’ve used the photos as inspiration. How to choose between two such gorgeous creations? I think that, if absolutely forced to choose, I’d go for the navy night scene. But oh dear – so hard to choose!
