NEW DIGIS!!!!

 Good Morning! 
We at Fresh Brewed Designs have something fun to share with you today! 
A NEW DIGI RELEASE!!! 
That's right, due to the summer heat and all, I have been stuck in the house cleaning and trying to keep the kids entertained. I was in the middle of said things when these images popped into my head and just HAD to come out on paper. I am so glad that they did. I had alot of fun creating them and hope you enjoy them as well. 


First up is Sunbathing Granny


My Granny will be celebrating a birthday this July and I wanted to make her something special. I DID make her the cupcake wreath in this post, but wanted to up it a notch. So this is what an upped notch looks like :D

The other image in the shop is the newest member to our Fun Foods family. 
She is a saucy little thing and she LOVES her wavy hair. 
Please join me in giving a big welcome to:
Meetball Makover !!!

These images are now in the shop and can be purchased HERE
We also have a sale going on:

Thank you for stopping by today! 
Don't forget about our 
Month long prize challenge (it's almost over!!!)
Mocha Manic Monday July 4th 
and our 
SWEET BLOG HOP July 11

Freshly Brewed Challenge 53

 WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
YEA~YAH!!!!!!!

That's right, it is time for another Freshly Brewed Challenge and we are here to PARTY!!!! We want to see all of your birthday OR party themed cards!

While creating this post I came across some interesting party quotes that just might help you out during one of those summer parties / cookouts  you are attending. Hope they make you smile :D

Number 1)
If I were invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn't show up. ~ Dr Seuss 
(be careful of who your friends are ~ know them well before partying with them)
Number 2)
If you go to a party, and you want to be the popular one at the party, do this: Wait until no one is looking, then kick a burning log out of the fireplace onto the carpet. Then jump on top of it with your body and yell, "Log o' fire! Log o' fire!" I've never done this, but I think it'd work. ~ Jack Handy  

OK, I would definitely not be the popular one, I would be the vitavetavegamine girl from the popular I Love Lucy episode and would unpoopular :D hehehe... So, at cookouts and stuff ~ just save yourself the pain and really .. please don't jump on the grill or anything. I don't think it would be pretty. 
Number 3)
You moon the wrong person at an office party and suddenly you're not "professional" any more. 

These are true words of wisdom :D

Now that I have HOPEFULLY Made you smile, it is time to see what the Fresh Brewed Crew has done to get their party on! 

Gale is having a Fiesta!

Linda is having a SWEET party

it must be MONDAY!!!

Hi everyone. This is sortof a 'test' post. I do have a card to share with you though, so this visit will not be pointless for you :D (I hope;) )


This card is featuring the rubber stamp: E(spresso) Mail (which is on sale for just two more days!!!). I think I spend half of my life on the computer checking on my friends and doing things like this :D and I love it. Maybe that is why E(spresso) Mail makes me happy.
You can read more about this card and the materials I used at my blog :
Heather's Coffee Break

What am I testing you ask? Well, when I came to visit this morning I see that you are only able to view ONE blog post. You have to click older posts to see more ??? What gives ??? I checked my settings and it is set up to show 5 posts on the homepage. I am testing to see if this one is the only one it shows when I hit post or if it corrects the problem. Fingers crossed!!!

See you Wednesday with the next Freshly Brewed Challenge. (**Remember** you only have one more week to get in on the month long prize challenge!!!)

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are having a lovely weekend so far

You know what today is right?
Today is the day we stop in with a Featured Guest Designer card to inspire you and, this week, remind you about our weekly challenge:
