New at Fresh Brewed Designs

Hi All! The party at the Latte Lounge is over, but you still have the chance to hop with us on May 4 - 7th!!! We released 8 rubber stamps, 5 digis, a whole slew of sentiments and are now selling a product I fell in love LinkLinkwith called Creative Inspirations Paints.

I wanted to share a card from last nights party with you.
This card is featuring the stamp Beach Bums now available at Fresh Brewed Designs: cling mounted and unmounted.
It is also featuring a new product we carry in our shop: Creative Inspirations Paints in Tickled Pink . We are carrying three colors as a 'test run' but I love it so much and am confident that you will too, I am placing another order for more colors soon! Head over to the Latte Lounge and add what colors you like best to the discussion area or email me and let me know what you would like to see in the shop!

We hope you will celebrate this week with us and the world as we focus on all things wedding themed in honor of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middelton ... and all the rest of us who are celebrating as well :).

I have created three new digital stamps for this challenge. They can be found in the Fresh Brewed Designs shop HERE

Happy Resurrection Sunday



We Remember: Newsboys

How could we forget
When You touched the earth on that starry night
Angels sang glory to God on high
We remember

How could we forget
The moment the water became wine
Stories of men leaving all behind
We remember

The story burns upon our hearts
A beautiful and binding scar
Forever we will
Forever we will think of You

We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord
We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord

How could we forget
There in the garden You cried for it
The city that cursed You and turned You in
We remember

How could we forget
Death has no power and we are free
The good thought of us there on calvary
We remember

The story burns upon our hearts
A beautiful and binding scar
Forever we will, forever we will think of You
Oh think of You

We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord
We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord

Oh, the the things that You have done
And great things You've yet to do
Oh, Jesus, we remember You

How could we forget
The moment Your love rolled the stone away
Our hearts were opened our lives were changed
We remember

How we could forget
The promise of hope and that trumpet sound
We'll see Your glory roll back the clouds
We remember

We remember You, O Lord
We remember You our King
We remember You the son of God
Who came to set us free

How could we forget
When You touched the earth on that starry night
Angels sang glory to God on high?
