Top picks for Inky Paws Challenge #17

Announcing.... our top picks! Read the description below each card to see who created it - and make sure to visit their blogs and tell them congrats!!

This adorable card by Sally is our first top pick! She caught our eye with this image of the two kitties in love from our Newton Dreams of Paris stamp set! The background is super cool too with the brick and graffiti! Make sure you check out her blog Abbey's Attic - she has a really cute story about these two kitties on it too! 

This card by Anja is our other top pick! We really love how she used the kitty from Newton's Birthday Bash and changed his balloon into a heart!  Plus the layering of all the hearts behind him is so beautiful! You can see more at her blog, Scrappietoo 

Congrats to Sally and Anja! Don't forget to send us an e-mail at info@newtonsnookdesigns.com to claim your $10 store credit and get your winner badge for your blog!

Inky Paws #17 Favorites

Since there were so many beautiful heart cards, we chose THREE more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

We really loved this adorable card by Heidi! We loved how she mixed the "love you" & "mom" from our Love Grows stamp set with the sweet little penguin pair from the Wild Child stamp set! What a fun pairing! We also loved the watercolor in the heart - so pretty! 

The next two favorites are both awesome clean and simple cards and use our raccoon image - We couldn't decide which we liked better since they were so lovely - so we picked both!

We really loved this Clean and Simple card by Karen using the cute raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set. The clean style is so striking - and the subtle hearts on the grey stripe are a fun detail! 

Here's another Clean and Simple card by Lynn - also using the raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set.  We loved the contrast of the bright red against the white - and the cute little hearts in the background are so fun! 

Thanks so much!
Thanks again to everyone who entered - It's really so much fun to look through all the entries and see everyones ideas! If you didn't win this time we hope you'll try again in February! The next challenge will begin on February 20.
