I’m excited to be part of the Newton’s Nook 3rd Anniversary Bloghop today – thank you to Jennifer for sharing this sweet puppy stamp set with me so I could join in on the fun! More on the hop later in this post.

Quick summer cards

It’s summer. Face it, we’re busy! The weather’s been lovely where I live, plus I’ve been traveling like a mad woman, too. Sometimes we just need an idea for a quick card to stamp and get ‘er done so we can share some happy mail with a friend. For my cards, I just got out my Zig Clean Color Markers and went at it with these cute doggies! Watch the video below, or click HERE to watch in HD on YouTube.

Here are all three quick cards – I had them all done start-to-finish in an hour!

Here’s the promised shading map…and click HERE to see the couple of others that I’ve done, in case you have those sets! There aren’t many yet, but I’m workin’ on it 🙂

And now for the bloghop details!  You know there’s always goodies involved….here’s the deets on prizes: Newtons Nook is giving away BOTH of these here on my blog:

1. $25 store credit to spend at Newton’s Nook Designs online shop
2. $25 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp

Here’s how to win: They will pick two random winners from each blog on the hop, one for each prize. You have until Sunday, July 17th at 9pm CDT to comment. Winners will be announced on the NND blog on Monday, July 18th and will need to contact NND to claim their prize. (I’ll check the list and post winners here after they announce the winners, too!)

Keep on hopping! The next stop is another guest designer on the hop, Taheerah Atchia! Go, go, go! Okay leave a comment first, ok?
