Sue's FAVE

Cat Craig designs this speCATular birthday card by adding a bubbly layer using the Bokeh stencil set over a yellow plaid base. She then partially stamps the kitty from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set and arranges the sentiment underneath.  She then die cuts using a circle die before adhering to the base. Just so festive!

Becky's FAVE

Kay designs this fabulous shaker card by ink blending  a soft background using the challenge colors and adding the coffee-lovin' kitty from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp and die set in the center. She adds stamped coffee beans, stars, and beads to her shaker. On her white card base, she adds a couple more mugs of coffee, and another kitty (Newton Loves Coffee ) sneaking on on another dose of caffeine!

Bobbi's FAVE

These lemon peonies from the Peony Blooms stamp set colored by Irene look absolutely amazing! She pops this layer with dimension tape onto two teal squares.  Then she adds her bold sentiment on the bottom and right sides. Such a wonderfully designed CAS card! 

Debbie's FAVE

Janet creates this fabulous distressed background with its watermarks resembling distant galaxies. She die cuts a window, so our kitty astronomer from the Cosmic Newton stamp and die set to gaze out of.  Using a die from the Frames & Flags to create the outer scallop-edged frame. Hope this sweet kitty made a wish on the falling star!
