Newtons Autumn wishes


This is my 20th participation of the Inky Paws challenges for 2019.  I've completed my 2019 goal to enter at least 20 Inky Paws challenges.  I'm entering this card into the current Inky Paws challenge #107 Color Challenge.  To create this card I used the Newton's Nook Designs Autumn Newton stamp set.  I made this card for my sister's birthday which is the end of October because she's always been my card making champion, she's the first one to teach me how make cards and she turned me onto NND so many years ago. I hope you enjoy this card.

Hocus Pocus with Newton


My Logan who looks a lot like Newton, loves to be with me no matter what I'm up to and since the previous card was colored to look like his sister he needed to have his card which is purrfectly fine with me since I love Halloween so I knew I was going to enter this challenge as many times as possible.  It also doesn't hurt that my Logan loves all things Disney and this scene was giving me major Hocus Pocus feels so I knew the purrfect kitty for a Disney inspired card.

Entry number 3 for the current Inky Paws challenge #106 Theme Challenge, which is the 19th participation of the Inky Paws challenged for 2019 and continuing my 2019 goal to enter at least 20 Inky Paws challenges. To create this card I used the Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set.  I hope you enjoy this card and the Halloween series.

Newton's portrait hangs in the Addams Family Gallery



They're creepy and they're cooky, mysterious and spooky, They're altogether ooky, The Addams Family.  I saw that IHOP has Addams Family inspired Halloween menu and I'm seriously sooo into this there is nothing better than full out themed food!  After seeing the menu this week I knew I had to make a card that gave me full on Addams Family feels, especially since I love the Addams Family and its a go to movie for me for Halloween every year.

Entry number 2 for the current Inky Paws challenge #106 Theme Challenge, which is the 19th participation of the Inky Paws challenged for 2019 and continuing my 2019 goal to enter at least 20 Inky Paws challenges. To create this card I used the Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set and colored Newton to look like my Stormy girl! I hope you enjoy this card.


Halloween can't happen without Pumpkin Spice Season!!!


This is my 19th participation of the Inky Paws challenges for 2019.  Continuing with my 2019 goal to enter at least 20 Inky Paws challenges.  I'm entering this card into the current Inky Paws challenge #106 Theme Challenge.  To create this card I used the Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Pumpkin Patch stamp set.  In my family you can't have Halloween without first celebrating Pumpkin Spice Season so this card reminds me of Halloween and was gifted to my Mom, sister and MIL inside a Fall treat box which is pictured below. I hope you enjoy this card.

Football and Birthdays!


This is my 18th participation of the Inky Paws challenges for 2019.  Continuing with my 2019 goal to enter at least 20 Inky Paws challenges.  I'm entering this card into the current Inky Paws challenge #105 Sketch Challenge.  To create this card I used the Newton's Nook Designs Touchdown Tails stamp set; I used the football in the set to make the patterned paper and drew on the grass with a while gel pen, I also colored up the Newton to represent Joe's favorite team to turn this into a birthday card for him since his birthday is always the unofficial start of football season September 7th so a little late this year as today September 5th is the official start of football season. I hope you enjoy this card.

Celebrating 100 Inky Paws Challenges: Favorite Product



If you ask anyone who knows me what my favorite stamp company is hands down everyone will say Newton's Nook Designs, I've been a fan of NND as I affectionately refer to them ever since I saw the first kitty stamp they put out, I didn't know the company name at that very moment but my sister who's been into crafting before I was said take a look at these photos to me and she was like I think you'd really be into these stamps and one look and I was hooked I was like I must have all the Newton stamps I'll specify with that it's not every stamp that NND puts out even though they're cute but I have to stop and ask myself how many stamps can one person own but if it has Newton in the stamp set I know it has to come home to me.  With that being said I can’t just pick one favorite product from NND so I decided to pick my favorite holiday and create a card around that for the favorite product participation of the 100th Inky Paws challenge.  I went with the stamp set Christmas Delivery to create this winter wonderland card.  This is my first Christmas card creation for 2019 and my 13th participation for Inky Paws Challenges for 2019 so I think my goal of at least 20 is going to turn into participating for all of 2019.

Celebrating 100 Inky Paws Challenges: Sketch



So while I was looking around trying to find my favorite sketch IPC I realized that I don't know if I have a favorite type of sketch but I do have a favorite type of card I like to make with sketches and that's birthday cards for sketch challenges because honestly I love to celebrate everyone's birthday even if it's just sending them a card for their birthday so I chose IPC#49 as my favorite sketch challenge, I used the set Newton Loves Cake to create this card, I hope you enjoy it!

 

Celebrating 100 Inky Paws Challenges: Color


What can I say about IPC color challenges except that I find them to my BIGGEST challenge since they encourage me to step outside of my comfort zone and as those who know me will tell you I don't like the idea of being outside of my comfort zone, I'm a creature of habit that's probably why I love cats so much so since it's the big 100 for Inky Paws challenge I chose to go smack dab in the middle with IPC #50 as my favorite color challenge, plus the colors are so fun and vibrant for summer!  I used Newton Dreams of Italy for this card, I hope you enjoy it!



Celebrating 100 Inky Paws Challenges: Theme


If you ask anyone who knows me what my favorite stamp company is hands down everyone will say Newton's Nook Designs, so I'm so excited to share with you my favorite theme challenge which was IPC#25: Halloween.  I've always enjoyed the Halloween challenges they do but this one was special to me since it was the very first IPC I won and I was so happy because it was the first card challenge I've ever won and for the first card challenge to ever win to be for my favorite company it meant so much to me and still does!  I've always loved the cutesy part of Halloween which is why it was so easy to choose the now retired Boo Crew set but when I saw the Spooky Street set I know the exact card I was going to make and its still one of my favorite cards to reproduce!  I hope you enjoyed this card!
