Read the description below each card to see who made it!

Tessa Wise used the Wagon of Wishes set to create this adorable Christmas Card! I love how the handle sticks out of the circle!

Meowy Christmas! Samantha Mann took the cute kitty from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp set and made it look like he's in a snow globe!

Here's one from me - I used the Chihuahua from the Canine Christmas set to make this simple Puppy Holiday card!  

And one last card  from me - do you spy a new stamp? I just added a this new digital stamp to our Freebies page! If you don't have a NND stamp set yet, go download this one to play along!

Inky Paws Challenge #3 Winner!

Today is Winner Day! 

We had so much fun checking out all the entries for our third Inky Paws Challenge at here at the Newton's Nook Designs blog. I have to say, this was a tough one. The sketch was simple but all your creations were amazing! I had a hard time deciding but there was one that stood out after I looked them all again! 

Top pick!

This card by Tricia Traxler is our Winner this month!  What stood out was how she used multiple stamps together in a way I never imagined! I had always imagined filling the wagon from Wagon of Wishes with the leaves or the pumpkin/Kitty image but Tricia combined these two images without using the wagon! I love how the kitty looks like he's asleep in the pile of pumpkins and leaves! So cute! Plus I love how she colored the kitty with stripes on his back! More details on this card are on her blog here (Simply Stamping). 

Congrats to Tricia! e-mail at info@newtonsnookdesigns.com to claim your $10 store credit and get your winner badge for your blog!

Thanks so much!

Thanks again to everyone who entered - We LOVE seeing all the entries! I am always so excited when I get notification of an entry so I can click through and see what you created with our stamps! It's so much fun for me! If you didn't win this time or didn't have a chance to play, check back again in a few weeks - we will be doing another challenge starting on September 20th!
