just floatin'

Who said cats don't like water? Clearly, Newton loves the water. He is just hanging out, floatin'.

This card was inspired by the new challenge at CAS(E) this sketch. I have to say this one had me stumped at first. But I went through my stamps and while I was checking them out this idea came to me. 

All the supplies for this card are from Newton's Nook. Head on over to  CAS(E) this sketch and see what the DT has to inspire you. Join in the fun!

Last hurrah.....

 Just sending a creative reminder about the awesome challenge over at Inky Paws. The theme is summer/ beach.

Todays card was soooo much fun to make, maybe not the most original but I love it!1 I created the waves with the seaborders die set, the sun (a reoccurring theme  for all my cards the summer!) was from the sunscape stencil and of course Newton relaxing in the waves is from the Newton's summer vacation. The contrasting colors of the aqua blue water and orangey, red, yellow sun just is so striking.

For those who follow me on Instagram (user name stampinsue) You know I spent the last weekend in the Poconos. One of my buddies has a house on the lake (think this stamp set and you arent far off!) and every August I head to the Nos for a stamping weekend with my best peeps. Its always a blast.

Here is the view from the porch:

We spend the weekend crafting with a long walk around the lake or up the mountain each day. It is so much fun to craft with others- you feed off of their creative energy.

The empty chair is where I sit. I get the whole long side of the table since I cannot stay in my own space. 

While I was there I worked ahead on some up coming challenges for Inky Paws.  Sneak Peek!!
