Costume Party Layout

Hi there!  Hope you are having a great Friday!  I'm heading out to my favorite lss to crop today- I'm looking forward to some crafty down time with my friends!

I thought I'd pop on and share a layout I created this week using Newton's Nook Designs Boo Crew set.  I had so much fun with this one:

The kids were so excited on the day we had our Halloween party last year.  They loved getting dressed up more than anything and I'm so glad I got these photos to remember!

I picked out a few goodies from Teresa Collins Designs Masquerade Party Line to use with my photos.  I also stamped the adorable mummy bear, ghost kitty, and princess puppy to go along with it all.

I used my colored pencils to color my images and seriously fell in love with them again!  I love how blendable they are with Gamsol and I'm trading in my Copics! lol!  I forgot how much I liked them!

My favorite image is this cute little pup!  We had a pup at our costume party that looked just like this princess and I sooo wish I had a picture of him!  He was dressed as a hot dog! :)

I love mixing my favorite stamps into my scrapbook layouts!  The images from Boo Crew were really a perfect match for these photos!

Well, thanks for stopping by!  Maybe I'll pop in and share what I make today at the crop later this weekend! :)

Inky Paws Challenge with Newton's Nook Designs

Hi there!  Hope you are enjoying your Friday!  I haven't been on my computer much this week- it's nice to take a break every now and then! :)  This week ended up being a lot busier than I was planning!

Anyways, today I want to share my card I created for the latest Inky Paws Challenge from Newton's Nook Designs.  They had another great sketch for us to work with this week:

And here is my card featuring the adorable Boo Crew set:

I added the banner stamp from the Winged Wishes set to create a Halloween party invite.  I loved coloring these images!  I recently found my forgotten colored pencils and gamsol- I am in love!!  I think I might be over Copics and moving on to Prismacolor- I ordered a new set of their pencils this morning and I can't wait to get all the colors!!

The papers I used are by Bella Blvd.  Their Trick or Treat line is one of my favorites this season and just perfect for the cute animals in the Boo Crew set!  They go together so well!

Well, I hope you have time to play along with Newton's Nook Designs this week!  If you do, be sure to upload your card over on their blog for your chance to win a stamp set!

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Newton's Nook Designs September Release- Boo Crew!

Yay!  It's release day for Newton's Nook Designs!  The September releases are so fun!  Today we are featuring the new Boo Crew set!  Here is what I made:

I created my card base out of black cardstock and added the chevron patterned paper by Bella Blvd to the top portion.  I cut a panel of white cardstock and added a strip of purple polka-dotted paper to the bottom.  I matted the panel with orange cardstock and then stamped the cute bear and 'boo' sentiment.  I colored the bear with my Copic markers.

Once he was all colored, I added the yellow banner with the second sentiment stamped on it.  I added a button with a twine bow to finish off the look and added my panel to my card front using dimensionals. 

He has some really cute friends in this set- a little owl, a funny dog, and of course, Newton!  They make me smile! I know you'll love them, too!  Newton's Nook Designs is kindly giving away two sets of Boo Crew- here are the details:
