Hello everyone! The merry month of May is almost over, spring is almost gone and summer is almost here! We hope you enjoy the last of spring and have a wonderful summer!

Let the crafting continue....we had a super fun week and weekend of crafting! I finally got some cards done for Newton's Nook Inky Paws monthly challenge! It is my first time joining and I am so excited.  This month is was a sketch challenge and I loved it. I wanted to do more but alas, I ran out of time so I just did the 4 cards! I could spend all day every day crafting but that pesky thing called work gets in the way! haha! Well I hope you enjoy this card!

Here is one of the cards:

I loved coloring and creating with this adorable kitten stamp set! It is already getting hot in Idaho, tomorrow is going to be over 90 degrees! Bring on the water and A/C! 

Products I used to create this card:

  • Newton's Nook Springtime designer 6x6 paper pad
  • Lawn Fawn Glitter cardstock in spring
  • Simon Says Stamp Black Ink pad
  • Stitched circle dies
  • Purple spongy acetate found in personal crafting stash (I thought it added a fun beach/ocean themed type texture) 
  • Various colored cardstock from personal crafting stash
  • Various colored fine line markers and colored pencils 

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of this card and some of the products I used to create this card:
