Ch 737 Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Anything Goes, Newton's Nook

 Hi Everyone!


It is Wednesday again and I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fun and awesome Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called: Anything Goes
The team is showcasing products from: Newton's Nook
You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used!)
This is my take:




This time I wanted to take the chance to make my two cat loving boys (one big and one small-ish) <3 <3 a bookmark each. Therefore I kept them quite strict with a more mascyuline touch to them with the woodpaper. The cats are diecut from velvet to make them "furry" and textured.
