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!

Hi! I’m Kathy Schweinfurth and live in a suburb of Columbus, OH. I’m married to Mark and we have a wonderful adult daughter.

I’ve been cardmaking for almost 30 years and I’ve always loved playing in challenges! They stretch my creativity and make me think about how to use my crafty goodies in new and unique ways which is really fun to me! I’m also a BIG fan of Newton’s Nook Designs so I’m super excited and honored to be part of the Inky Paws Challene Team!

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!

Hello crafters! My name is Claire and I am so happy to join the Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team! I'm currently living in Columbus, Ohio with my cat, Mr. Darcy. I have been making cards for a little over five years, and I quickly fell in love with stamping and all forms of papercrafting! I also enjoy reading, writing, baking, and spending time crafting with my mom. As a long-time fan of Newton's Nook Designs, I am so excited to be part of the Inky Paws team!
