Inky Paws Challenge #256 Week 1

 

We're starting our September Challenge!


We couldn't wait to get an early start on our Fall and/or Halloween cards!
We can't wait to see your Fall and/or Halloween creations!

You have until Friday, September 25, 2026 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday.  Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

Here's some inspiration:  We couldn't decide between fall and Halloween so we're choosing BOTH! Create a card with a fall and/or Halloween theme to join. Create a thank you using fall images and colors. Try creating a cute (or spooky) Halloween scene. This time of year is filled with frights and delights! Choose your favorite and enter today!

Debbie Owens kicks off the Falloween challenge with a mini-Halloween card measuring just 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches! She uses a die from the Basic Frames die set to create the mini base. She adds the spooky paper from the Halloween Time paper pad. She adds a moon using the Spooky Sky die set with a witchy-puppy from the Trick or Treat Puppy stamp set. She adds her sentiment (Halloween Postage stamps set) on a banner (Frames & Flags die set). Small but sweet!
