Hi friends!

Happy May!

It's time for a new challenge at Newton's Nook Designs

My card features Newton and his book collection!

As a bibliophile and avid thrifter for affordable, sustainable books,

this set just warms my heart!

For my card, I colored the image with Olo Markers

and used the following NND supplies: 

Newton's Book Club clear stamps

Newton's Book Club die set

Frames and flags die set

Birthday Meows Paper Pad

Meowy Christmas Paper Pad

Retro Paper Pad

Christmas Cheers!

Hi friends!

If you celebrate, Christmas is 2 months away!

And I am SURE you are all on Santa's nice list :)

I wanted to share a fun card I created for the current

Inky Paws Challenge @ Newton's Nook Designs.

It's a wonderful color challenge and such dreamy colors!

I had a pile of itty bitty papers and scraps on my desk

and added them in a creative away to create a whole card :)

Using the Simon Says Stamp and NND Stamptember collab

"Happy Paw-lidays" and colored him with my prismacolor markers.

You can see the REELS here on Instagram!

And my card 🠋

We have several amazing rescue cats that now live with us

for various reasons #rescuecatsrock !

So this one will be a terrific card for the vet assistants 

that we just LOVE so much at our vet!

Head over to the Inky Paws Challenge blog and link up your 

cards inspired by the color challenge, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Deck the palms!

 Hi friends!

I love love LOVE winter!

I adore the snow and everything about the crisp chill of winter ♥

But,

I do live in tropical sunny Miami

  so as they say ...

when in Rome!

 

Today's card is one of the many created for the Falliday card challenges

on Splitcoaststampers.

It's a series of challenges proposed by the hostesses

with different techniques and  tutoirals.

It's great fun!

My challenge was last week (I'll show you that soon!)  

I created this card for Janine's challenge:  Holidays in another climate.

 

 I used the adorable Newton's Nook Sun Soaked Santa for this card.

After lightly stenciling a background with sunbursts,

I stamped the palm trees and sentiment onto the cardstock.

I wanted a little more dimension so I stamped/cut the image again

and popped it up on foam dots.

For the inside, I carried over the theme and added another greeting.

I'll enter this into the current Inky Paws Challenge:

It's Friday and the start to the weekend!
I hope yours is going to be super!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
