PIP Challenge 2026

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2026, sponsored this week by Newton's Nook.  Our theme this week is "CAS", which basically means limited layers, limited embellishments and lots of white space.  I used "Newton's Happy Mail" stamp set and colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I added two strips of washi tape and layered it on a matching piece of pink cardstock.  That's it!!  I hope you'll check out all the awesome products at Newton's Nook and also visit our Challenge 2026.  If you uplink your creation, you could earn a chance at winning an awesome prize from Newton's Nook......a real treat!!  Thanks for stopping by.  Take Care!
