{Newton's Nook Designs} Grillin' Out!

Happy Memorial Day!

For my last Newton's Nook Designs Guest Designer post, Winston, from the May release set Winston's BBQ,  is joining with families all over the neighborhood as they grill out after the Memorial Day parades are past.  I'm not sure if the stripes on his face are mustard or grease...  or maybe he thinks he's Tony the Tiger! LOL!!  I do like his snazzy, patriotic, paper-pieced apron, though!

Thanks so much to Jennifer and the DT for letting me play along with them this month.  It's been so much fun!

{Newton's Nook Designs} Inky Paws Challenge

Hi again!

I'm playing along with this month's Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws challenge to use wood, cork or metal on your card.  Can you find mine??

Well, I thought the cool wooden looking frame from the new release set "Around The House" would count, but since I wasn't sure I added some metal staples, too. :)

I hope you'll have time to play along!  You can find all the details on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today!

{Newton's Nook Designs May Release} Around the House

Hi everyone!

I'm playing along with the Newton's Nook DT this month to show off their fantastic new sets that are just perfect for Father's Day!

Today's card uses a fun set called "Around the House".  I chose to make a little note that will be perfect to tuck in my husband's lunch box.  I colored my tape dispenser with copics, did a little selective inking on my sentiment to give it a two toned look, and then used a straight edge and marker to make a border.  I stuck it together with a few pieces of washi tape, since it seemed appropriate! : )  There are so many fun options in the set for little cards like this... great for Father's Day, or just to say 'I love you' to the 

 men and boys in your life!!

{Newton's Nook} Loads of Thanks

Hi everyone!  Did you see the fun news on the Newton's Nook blog the other day?  I get to be a Newton's Nook guest designer this month!  How fun!!

For today, though, I have a card I made with Wagon of Wishes for the color challenge that ends in a day or two.  You can still enter if you haven't already!

Here are the colors...

And here is my card...

Such an easy design for this little 4.25" square card!  I'll put the supplies I used down below in the recipe. : )

Thanks for stopping by!

I'll tell you what -- I had the hardest time getting a picture of this card for the Newton's Nook challenge!  Sigh.  Just trust me that it was cuter in real life, ok?? : )

Inky Paws #4

I didn't want to miss the Inky Paws challenge that closes tomorrow!  I used the sweet  Newton's Holiday Mischief set and stamped and colored Newton in his wreath three times, layering the wreath and his paws separately.  Here he is...

Merry Christmas! :)

Tricia

Shhhh...

Newton's sleeping!! : )

I just had to play with my new Newton's Nook set again this morning!  My stamping funds are extremely limited, so my goal is always to use any set that I buy at least the number of times as dollars paid... For example, If I pay $15, I would try to use the stamps in the set at least 15 times... and each stamp used counts as one, so since this card used 4 different stamps, it's worth $4.00!! LOL!  Don't you love my logic???? : )  Honestly, though, it does help me look at a set that I would like and determine if I would really USE it.  This set, for example, was a definite YES!  I love Newton, the leaves, the wagon, the fonts on the sentiments, and all the other stamps that are included.  It was a MUST HAVE... plus my daughter likes it, too, so that makes it a "win-win" in my book. : )

I used the sketch from the Inky Paws Challenge, some MME Tangerine Paper (from Stamp Simply), some copics, a button and a little DMC floss.  The white CS is from Flourishes and the Orange cs is Bazzill, I think, from Michaels. 

Thanks for stopping by!
