FBC 21 and a DT Call!!!

Good Morning Freshly Brewed Challenges fans!!!
I hope you have had a wonderful week so far. I know ours has been quite eventful as we have attended 'dress up week' at my daughters dance school and will have more things going on near the end of the week. I want to take the time to tell everyone to have a safe and fun holiday weekend. You can send all your kids and grandkids sweet treats directly to my house. My address is... :D
Before we get on to the challenge, lets choose a winner!

The winner for last weeks challenge is #7 RISA. Just check out the shop and email me with your choice. Have fun shopping!!!

This weeks challenge is simply a
(messy) sketch challenge:

I hope you will get to get sketchy with us and brew up a fun creation of your own!
Please take time to read the post below about the DT call:


Now, we have some big things going on over here at FBC this week. This challenge will run for 2 weeks due to the changes we are undergoing. My current DT whom I love and hold so close to my heart has been with me for around a year now. After talking with my girls, we decided it was time to move on to new things and to lighten their burdens for a while. It breaks my heart to see them go, but I know that they have other things in their lives to attend to. They are the start of FBD and the Crew and will always be a big part of the team.

Fresh Brewed Designs is having a FULL DT CALL. We are looking for people who love to create and are excited to be a part of getting a new business on it's feet and walk around out there. We need to meet new people and fellowship Fresh Brewed Designs style!

If you are interested, here is how you can apply for the team and what we require:

Fresh Brewed Designs is having a DT call starting today, October 27th and running through Wednesday, November 10th at 9:00pm EST. Details are listed below.
  • DT terms will be for 6 months starting November 17, 2010 and running through April 13, 2011. The 10+ new DT spots will be announced on the Freshly Brewed Challenges blog on November 13th. You can reapply again after your 6 month term is over if you are interested in staying.
  • Please email two cards to me ( freshbreweddesigns AT yahoo DOT com ) with your application. I would love for you to use a Fresh Brewed Designs image on one of your cards, however it is not required for your application.
  • If you are interested in being a DT coordinator to help with blog hops and challenge posts, please let me know in your application.

**Important** FBD email issues


Many of my friends emails have been hacked into and I have let them know through alternate emails or in a group setting. They changed their password and all was fine. Now, My freshbreweddesigns yahoo account has been compromised. I can no longer access this account. Someone has broken into it and has changed my password among other things making it appear impossible for me to get into it. I have contacted yahoo several times, with no luck. PLEASE do not email me at the freshbreweddesigns@yahoo.com until I say otherwise. In turn, please do not open any emails sent to you through that account. It is not from me and I would not want you to receive spam on my account. Forgive me if I have caused you any problems.


**update**
there has been no hope in sight for my old email address. sniff. I am offering a special on my newest images since I am unable to add them to the shop at the moment.

Due to my issues with my old email **sniff**, I will not be adding the newest images to the shop until sometime next week. I am giving you all a special price on these new and old images in one limited time set. If you are interested in
purchasing the set of 16 images for $30
(saving you $18) or any single images at $3, please email me at my new email

Some Things are Better Rich

Good Morning all of my lovely friends. I do hope you had a beautiful weekend. I am soooooooo happy to have gotten up this morning to find it 58 degrees outside. BEAUTIFUL cool crisp air. Love it!!!

I am a little sad though: I missed two of the most important days of the year (or found out about them a little too late). 1) National Coffee Day 2) National Cardmaking Day
WAHHHH!!! It's ok, you can cry with me. I know you want to!!! I DID get to make a card though... a little late, but better late than nevah I always say! This little FBD lady in the card is a little under-dressed for cardmaking day ( ;) ) but coffee day... you bet your britches ... uh ... er... towel? She is ready to celebrate National Coffee Day! And she did. She wasn't like scatterbrained ol me and forgot ;). Sheesh~

Well, I did get the chance to have a quick little challenge for someone to win a digi from my shop, Fresh Brewed Designs. I am so sad about Cardmaking Day that I went ahead and drew two names. We had 21 participants from the post combined (here and the challenge blog) Our random winners are:
