Inky Paws Challenge #255- Final Week

Today I have more inspiration for the current Inky Paws Challenge! The challenge runs through August 28, 2026! Link your creations on the Inky Paws Challenge Blog for a chance to win $20 store credit at the Newton's Nook Shop! Check out the Challenge Rules before you create your project!

We have a super fun sketch for the month of August! This sketch features a fun angled layout! Try using this sketch with our Card Layout 7 Die or cut the angles with a scissor or trimmer. Put a different image in each section or keep it simple with patterned papers and sentiments. All themes are welcome as long as the sketch is used.


I was thinking of all my friends who love pumpkin spice when I created today's card with the Autumn Coffees stamp set!!




Thanks for stopping by and be sure to grab out your Newton's Nook goodies and come play along with us at the Inky Paws Challenge!!

Have a super day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Craft Roulette #333 Card | Merry Woofmas

One of the goals I left Craft Roulette Live with was to participate more often! I'm so excited that I have a card to submit for Episode #333 with Chelsea Comer! New to Craft Roulette? Check it out HERE!!

Each week Craft Roulette spins a wheel to randomly choose 4 parameters: Project, Colors, Element and Random. You create a card with those parameters and then submit it for everyone to see. It's fun to see how many different ways the parameters are interpreted!


For Episode #333 the parameters were: Project-4x6 Card, Colors-Buffet, Element-Holiday and Random-Bark. For my card I did: Project-I created a 4x6 card, Colors-Reds, Greens, Yellows and Oranges on a Buffet in the salad bar (tomatoes, lettuce, banana peppers and carrots), Element-Christmas, and Random-My dog barks!

My sweet pup is from the Pajama Crafter Stamps Wienerful Christmas stamp set. So super cute!!










Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Mixing Patterned Papers | Toadally Awesome Birthday

One of the things I get asked often is how do I mix patterned papers for my cards. I never really knew what to say as I just did it. I sat down and thought about it and did some research and put together a video answering that question! Watch my video HERE!!

I also created a card mixing patterned papers to show how it does work! I used the super cute and fun Toadally Awesome Birthday stamp set and Birthday Bash 6x6 papers from Pajama Crafter Stamps!


I colored my cute toads/frogs with Copics and fussy cut them out!


Copics Used:
YG17, YG13, YG11, E04, R37, R35, R32


A very bright & happy birthday card! It just makes me smile!
