The great pumpkin

Happy Monday folks! Three weeks till Halloween. Time to get started on your cards Pumpkin!!! 

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws! We are looking for weener cards! So pull out those spooky Newton's Nook stamps, stencils, and dies and have some fun!

My card today uses my favorite die set from Newton's Nook- "Speech Bubbles". I die cut the big speech bubble and stenciled just the faces from the "Jack-o-Lantern" stencil set. From the same set, I stenciled just a row of the pumpkins. The sentiment is from Newton's Boo-tiful Night.

No intro needed!

Hey there pumpkin

 

I just love making Halloween cards, I think I have mentioned this a time or two before. LOL!!  The colors for the challenge at Inky Paws were perfect for a weener card.

There is still time to play along at Inky Paws for our fallish color challenge. Orange, lime green, black, and cream. We haven't had much action for this challenge and I don't understand. These are great colors. So much can be done with them. 

Today's card features the following product from Newton's Nook. The flying bat stenciled embossed on the back card stock, the jack-o-lantern stencil, a great new layering stencil from NN, and lastly "Newton's Perfect Pumpkin" stamp set.

Today's musical inspiration is called "A summer song" but really it's about the end of summer and fall starting. Perfect for this time of year.

Looking Sharp

Greetings from the beach!! I am writing this post a head of time since I otherwise occupied with sand and surf!

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws! Such fun! Black, pink, green, and grey. Speaking of grey? Or is it gray? I vacillate when spelling this color. How do you spell it? Here is the difference.

Today's card features "Cuppa Cactus" and the retro sun and palm stencil" from Newton's Nook. You have probably noticed that I love that retro sun and palm stencil". I use the "sun" stencil for just that extra something on my cards.

There are no many songs about cactus, so I figured cactus grow in the desert, and picked a song about the desert.

You have two weeks get your colors on at Inky Paws.  Let's see you use some Newton's Nook stencils in unusual ways! We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate.

I saw this awesome set from Concord and 9th and I was smitten! My bestie being the person she is surprised me with the complete set. I immediately made two cards one for my brother and this one for the husband- just because!

Cupcake Inspirations is having a challenge that asks for "frozen treats". I knew I had to play along. After all, I used to be on the CI team.

Head over to CI and see what the DT came up with and play along!

Raindrops

 Happy Heart Day everyone! I hope you are getting to spend the day just the was you want to. I came across a blogger that wrote how she spends her Valentin's day every year with a bag of Zesty cheese Doritos!! You go girl! I will be spending it with my sweetie George.

 

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. A nice spring color challenge. Something to remind you that winter will be over at some point. Yellow, spring green, pink, and white.

 

 

 Since it Valentine's day, I did use the heart frame dies from Newton's Nook in my card design. I also used the petite flower stencil and the "Loads of Blooms" stamp set. 

Today's music inspiration is "Raindrops are Falling on my Head" by BJ Thomas. This song is dedicated to a good friend Anna Marie. She and I would sing this song to our pts. Don't ask why this song, it was one we could really harmonize to, I guess.

Snow Much

Happy New Year  everyone! Here's to 2022 being an improvement over 2021! I don't know about you all, but every year after the holidays I find myself in a crafting rut. The holidays just suck the creativity out of me. It takes a few weeks to get my mojo back. 

Today starts the first challenge for 2022 at Inky Paws. This is a great color challenge, guaranteed to help you get your mojo back! We are looking for you to use candy red, white, brown, and grey in your creations.

 

My card today uses the "Snowman Roundabout" stamp set and the Plaid stencil set,  both from Newton's Nook. Don't the challenge colors work perfectly with this stamp set and stencil?

 

How about some musical inspiration to start out the new year right.
