 Welcome to Inky Paws'  

February Challenge!

For the month of February 

we have a fabulous sketch to play with!

You still have time to get creative with this layered sketch and your NND Products!

You have until Friday, February 28, 2025 (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.  

Birthday cards, St. Patrick's Day cards, spring cards, maybe a jump start to Christmas cards?  What occasion will you be inspired to use?  Let's check out what the IPC created:

Debbie Owens has skipped all the spring holidays and jumped right into Halloween! Her card base features the Pumpkin Patch stencil in shades of pink and oranges. She then pulls a trio of papers from the Halloween Party paper pad and adds black mats to each to break up the many different patterns. She die cuts her banner using the Frames & Flags die set. She then adds a duo of trick-or-treaters from the Trick or Treat Newton and the Trick or Treat Puppy stamp set.  There's a lot going on in Deb's card, but all those different elements add up to a festive Halloween card!

Amy's Easter card features Newton's Peeps, Springtime, Spring Blooms, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #eastercards, #springcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Amy Tollner is sharing her delightful Easter card filled with flowers, butterflies, and peeps! Her wonderful combination of papers come from the  Springtime and the Spring Blooms paper pads . She uses the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set for her butterfly banner.  Her start attraction is her gray tabby from the Newton's Peeps stamp and coordinating die set who seems to be delight with his basketful of peeps!  A colorful way to celebrate Easter!

Claire creates her caffeinated card using Coffee Delights, Bright Basics, and A Dog's Life by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #coffeelovers, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #coffeecards

Her teal and red papers from the Bright Basics and A Dog's Life paper pads mimic the hearts and stripes on a couple of mugs! So much caffeinated cuteness!
