Get Well Kitty Card by Guest Designer Katie Brooks!

Get Well Kitty Card by Katie Brooks for Newton's Nook Designs

Sweet Kitty Card!

What a beautiful card by our Guest Designer, Katie Brooks! Katie used FOUR different NND sets to create this adorable little scene! She used the kitty from the Newton's Holiday Mischief set (masking out the lights), the little flower from the Basket of Wishes set, clouds from the Winged Wishes set and the "get well soon" from the new Spring Showers set! I love the bright cheerful colors that she used to create the sunny scene - and even a sun-shaped button! So adorable! This would definitely cheer anyone up! 

Thanks again Katie for being our guest for our March Release! If you haven't yet, make sure you take a few minutes to pop over to Katie's blog, KB Stamps to see all of her super cute cards!

Sweet Kitty card by Christine Drogt

Sweet Kitty card by Christine Drogt using Newton's Antics Stamp set for Newton's Nook Designs

Colorful Kitty Wishes! 

I really love the bright colors and simple layout on this card by Design Team Member,   Christine Drogt! She used the two snuggly kitties image from our  Newton's Antics set and colored them so perfectly (did you notice the little shadow?) I love the color combo and big brackets around the kitties. So fun!  Her sentiment is in German - I think it means "all the best" or something close to that.  To find out more, head over to Christine's blog, Kartenchaos and see what else she's created lately!

Inky Paws Challenge #8 starts tomorrow! 

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see our new Inky Paws challenge!
