Hello Everyone! Hope you are enjoying your start to spring! Have you had a chance to play along with Newton's Nook Designs' Inky Paws Challenge #19 - Watercolor yet?
I decided to dust off my watercolor crayons and pencils and create this 'I'm Sorry!' card using NND's Holiday Hounds (pup), Naughty Newton (sentiments), and Newton's Antics (paw prints):
First I colored the solid paw print images in brown watercolor crayon and swirled the wax around with a waterbrush and stamped on the WC cardstock to give the impression of muddy paw prints tracked across the floor. I thought they needed a little more definition so I stamped the outline paw print image over them. Then I stamped the doxie and colored him in using WC pencils & a waterbrush and added the sentiments. Then I created a mat with my favorite paw print border using an EK Success edger punch. I can't recall whether the background DP came from Michaels or HL, sorry!
Hope you like my card, and hope you will get a chance to play along with NND's Inky Paws Challenge - it runs until April 9th and you could win a gift certificate to the NND store too if you're lucky - good luck!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks for the March release of Newton's Nook Designs! Today everyone's favorite kitty returns with another birthday set, Newton's Birthday Flutter:
As a bird lover/watcher with lots of feeders around my property, the idea of Newton even trying to hurt the birdie upset me (LOL! Jen assured me the 'keep missing you' sentiment meant that Newton DIDN'T catch the birdie, LOL!), so this one little birdie just spoke to me and I decide to let him & his balloon take center stage in this CAS card:
I added some glossy accents to the balloon and a twine string for a little pop & touch of texture.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the second day of sneak peeks for the March release of Newton's Nook Designs! Today's set will appeal to all you animal lovers out there, welcome 'Farmyard Friends:
This set is extremely versatile, with lots of great sentiments covering thank yous, belated & on time) birthdays and just a plain old 'hello. I wanted to try to squeeze as many of the cute critters into a single card as possible, so I went for a 'selfie' look using the frame from NND's 'Around the House' which I heat embossed using brown EP:
A whole lotta masking went into this card, LOL!! I thought the gingham paper gave it a county feel and decide to add the sentiments via little faux 'signs' created using stamped edges of the same picture frame from Around the House contained with a white picket fence I created using a Fiskars punch.
I am also entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Lions & Lambs Oh my! to feature animals (and I actually have a lamb in my card too! WOOT!) Just a reminder - Simon Says Stamp also carries NND sets, sweet right? ;)
