Blizzard Thank You with Newton's Nook Designs

Hello!  Can you hear me saying hi from underneath all this snow?  (Actually I typed this up in advance in the event we lost power and I was unable to log on).  Today I am featured on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog and I wanted to share a card I made to thank our young neighbor who is helping us out by snowplowing our driveway for us to help spare our ever aging backs (thought it would be a festive and memorable way to include his payment) using NND's Winter Tails set:

I added the little bird because I filled all the feeders on our property with birdseed to help our our feathered friends during these inclement conditions and have enjoyed watching all of them chow down and enjoy the buffet.  Too bad they have to eat in the snow and wind, poor birdies.

Hope everyone is safe and warm!  Thanks for stopped by to see my creation!

Newton's Nook Designs' January Release ~ Day 2


Welcome back to the second day of Newton's Nook Designs' January release!  Today's set features some cute snuggling pets along with some fancy hearts and sentiments perfect for a variety of occasions.  Introducing 'Darling Duos':


And there are Purr-fectly matching DIES for this set too!  SQUEEEEE!

 

Don't you just LOVE the stitching on the heart?!!  I sure do!

Since Jen included dogs with this set (THANK YOU JEN!!)  I just HAD to use them in my card:

Since our furbaby Ty gives his Daddy cards on holidays (oh come on, you know you do it too!) I decided to make a card for him to give his Poppa for Valentine's Day.  I selected a more masculine color palette and created the background using the heart with the paw print (LOVE THAT IMAGE JEN!) and the petite solid heart stamps in the set.  I cut the stitched heart shape out using the set's dies and then stamped the image of the doggie duo on it and colored it in with Copic markers.  I added the 'DAD' from NND's 'Winston's BBQ' set to the 'you & me' sentiment from this set to personalize it for my husband.  I could tell Ty knew the card was for him to give his Daddy because he stayed very close to me as I worked on the project and was extremely attentive when I snapped the photo... or maybe he just wanted the treats?...


What do you think?  ;)

Since my Mom loves images of Mother & baby animals I used the 'mom' from 'Love Grows' to personalize the card for her.  I hope she likes it.
