Newton's Nook Designs' 'Name the Bunny' Hop

Hello crafty friends!  Jen has decided it is time for her cute Bunny to have a name of her own, so this week we are showing of cards in her honor and having a poll & giveaway to encourage you to vote for the name you like best!

I decided to make a card using the cheerleader bunny from Touchdown Tails to create a birthday spinner card for my niece:

I don't know if it shows in the picture, but I added some pink Stickles to the pom pom and the bunny's eyelids and stamped 'Happy Birthday!' in the spinner window.  

Vote to help us name our Bunny for a chance to win!

What should Newton's Nook Designs name their bunny character? This cute bunny has appeared on six different stamp sets - as a cheerleader, in a hula skirt, buried in snow and more! Now she needs a name! With the help of their design team and friends they've chosen some favorite names but now they need your help. Check out this poll and vote for your favorite name.  Plus - two random winners will be chosen from all the votes to WIN the new 4 x 6 Hello Spring stamp set featuring the bunny! You can vote once a day - until Sunday, March 14th! Winners will be announced on Tuesday, March 15th with the reveal of the new Hello Spring stamp set! 

Head over to our poll to vote - enter here - and share with your friends too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Newton's Nook Designs Post ~ Newton SPINS over YARN!

Hello.  Today it is my turn to be featured on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog.  When I first saw Newton kitty on the BIG ball of yarn from the newly released 'Newton Unwinds' set, I immediately pictured it on a spinner card - so that is what I made for you today:

I created the background of yarn balls in all the colors of the rainbow using images from Newton Unwinds and the previously released 'Newton's Antics' set.  I colored Newton's HUGE yarn ball to match this pretty variegated yarn I purchased at Michaels (Loops & Threads Charisma Baby yarn, in the color 'Toy Train', you can kind of see it to the right of the card in the picture) that I am going to use for a prayer blanket for my Ty Baby (he is having a lump removed on Friday, we are praying that is all that will need to be done and he can heal afterwards without further treatment; any prayers or positive thoughts you can offer on his behalf are appreciated more than you know!).  Since it common in crochet to finish things off with a scalloped shell stitched border, I used my shell shaped Martha Stewart edger punch to highlight the sentiment at the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and thank you for any prayers offered up on our Ty Baby's behalf.
