guess what? day 1 of newton's nook's release for august is here! that's right! there are 2 sets being released this on wednesday! so excited!!



both new sets will be available for purchase on August 20th, here!


this set is SO fun!! it's perfect for creating scenes, clean and simple or one layer cards! i LOVE the critters and i had an awesome time making these cards!! this is going to be a set i use for a LONG time! 


here's my first card...LOOOOOVE it! :)



i made a watercolor background for the sky with some distress paints. love the messy look of that sky!
then i colored in that ADORABLE koala with copcis! the branch and clouds were also colored with copics! 



i popped up some of the clouds, and also the koala, and i just think this card is awesome! i LOVE it! 

my second card is super fun too!! 



i combined the new set with winged wishes - they just go together SO well! 

i stamped the sentiment onto the background and heat embossed in white. then i added some distress inks to create the super pretty blue/teal sky!



i colored the baby clothes and opposum (possum...ok i don't know how you spell that word, turns out!) with copics and popped them up along that line for dimension. i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that opposum image - i have to say!
