Indy's Designs

Hi, my name is Debbie, aka Indy. I live in Washington with my hubby and two fur babies--Catapult and Velcro. I have several passions in life--cats, card making, clay ornaments, coffee, chocolate, and camping! I began card making back in 2010 and reached out to the Internet for inspiration and ideas! In 2013, I discovered Newton's Nook Designs and completely fell in love with Newton and his gang of whimsical friends, so I am thrilled to be part of the Inky Paws Challenge team!

Hello Newton’s Nook fans I’m Diane Morales. My motto is “do what you love and share it with others”.

I live in West Columbia, Texas with my Husband and the tribe of three cats. 

Like most, I started in scrapbooking and moved into full time cardmaking about 2 years ago. I love cardmaking! I enjoy hand painting on my cards and usually created shaped cards or tags.

I first fell in love with Newton’s Nook when I was looking for a stamp set that best reflect how my cats acted.  “Newton’s Antics” was my first set, and it has been LOVE ever since. When I am not “procraftinating” you can find me with a cup of coffee, cooking, or gardening. You can find me on Instagram as  2. sistersproject   #dianeiscrafty

Sue T. 

the creative studio

Hi, I am Sue T. - yes that is what everyone calls me. I have been stamping since 1996. It truly became an obsession when a stamp store opened 5 minutes from my house. I love making cards. There isn’t a holiday that I don’t send them out. I have dabbled in just about every style over the years, but have found my niche with CAS cards.

I have worked in several stamp stores, had my own business teaching paper crafts and designed for challenge sites and stamp companies. I love to share my knowledge and creativity.

In the real world, I am a FT endoscopy nurse and very close to completing my Master’s in nursing education. I have a wonderful husband who is my best cheerleader and critic. My muse in my studio is my sweet kitty, Pinkie.

I love whimsical stamps, especially those cute little critter stamps. That’s why I am so excited to be part of the Inky Paws challenge for Newton’s Nook!!

Amy Tollner

Sparkle and Sunshine Card Design

Hi everyone! My name is Amy and I am very honored and so excited to be joining Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge Team! I have been making cards for about 5 years now. I really enjoy making bright, fun, and happy cards. I like coloring stamped images with Copic markers, and I love using glitter and glossy accents for finishing touches on my projects! 

When I'm not crafting, I am usually at work taking X-rays, volunteering for our local animal shelter, or hanging out with my family, which includes many adopted pets! 

I love Newton's Nook Designs products and hope to inspire you to join us in the fun of the Inky Paws Challenge!
