Good Afternoon!

I hope everyone is having a super wonderful lovely weekend so far. (I know it just started, but I hope yours started off  right :)!) I know at Fresh Brewed Designs, we are!! I have had my morning java and am ready to take on  the day! My husband is off work and we are going to spend time together and with the kids.
On the other hand, Our lovely latte lady rubber stamp has been so very lonely. She keeps telling me she loves all the places she has been and has loved visiting all of the coffee shops, but it gets tiring  going by herself all the time. I introduced her to who we lovingly call Hot Cuppa Joe and she couldn't be happier! :D hehehe

Well, maybe I have had TOO much coffee today .... but I hope you are smiling and putting up with me and my craziness. All of this leads up to a NEW DIGITAL STAMP RELEASE!!! I had some free time on my  hands this week sitting with a not so well little man, so I took advantage of my being lazy and created this to share with all of you Fresh Brewed Designs fans :)

Here he is.....

drumroll please.....

Welcome to the family:

Hot Cuppa Joe 

 He is standing with our lovely latte lady, I'll Take Mine to Go rubber stamp.

 Happy Saturday!!! 

I don't know about you, but Saturday is the one day I usually get out of my pjs (or yoga pants) and hit the town (aka grocery store!) hahah!!! In honor of  this we are making today all about FASHION!!! Sassy sweet and HOT!

This next project has the perfect mix of sweet and sexy. Our guest designer, Sheryl, created this AWESOME purse featuring Caution: Contents are Hot! rubber stamp and painted with Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint as a reminder of this weeks Shaped Cards challenge.

I LOVE the white dress with the bling buttons. I am telling you, if possible, I would TOTALLY LOVE TO HAVE A REAL PURSE LIKE THIS!!! I love it that much!!!

OK... now prepare yourself for the 

CUTEST THING EVER TO HIT THIS BLOG

Suzie Q!!

Isn't this just SOOO SWEET!!! It makes my heart melt and break because sweet little Susie Q reminds me of my little Daisy who passed away a few years ago. But anyway.... on to something happier. I just loved that Sheryl snapped this pic at just the right moment. Happy to meet you Susie Q and to get to share you with all of our Fresh Brewed Designs Fans :D

The last Frantic Friday in July!

I hope you have been enjoying all the challenges here on Fresh Brewed Designs this month!

We have had our Month Long challenge which was a recipe, we designed for a song, planned a party, got a little wild and finished by really shaping up!  WOW what a month!

Keep watching this site (check out our new tabs-they make it really easy to navigate) for all kinds of wonderful challenges in August.  Don't forget our MMM freebie, the first Monday of the month to kick it all off!  Granny was introduced by Heather last Sunday.  Since I was out camping, I didn't get my card done in time so...........here she is in all her glory!  Doesn't she just ROCK!

Heather has definitely got a winner with this granny series.  From the beach (see sun-bathing granny) to the garden, granny does it with style!

Don't forget our summer digi (40% off) and summer rubber (30% off-limited quantities).  It all ends on August 3rd, midnight EST.  (Whatever time that is over here on the Pacific!)

Come by my blog and check out this and other projects done with wonderful

Fresh Brewed Designs images!

It's Shaping Up for a Thursday Rambling!

Welcome to the Fresh Brewed Challenge Blog. Did you see our fun challenge for this week, shaped cards? And weren't the cards posted yesterday absolutely wonderful?! Well I am here to admit something, I am really bad when it comes to making shaped cards. Then I asked myself, isn't a square or rectangle a shape?!! Okay, I tried! I used the adorable Baby Ellie Hula Dancer digital stamp and some fun tropical papers. For more details, visit my blog, The Stamper's Touch. I think I need your inspiration as well to get me over my fear of the shaped card!! So join us for our challenge this week!!

Did you know Heather is having a sale right now at the store? All summer digital stamps (that included Baby Ellie Hula Dancer) are 40% off while summer rubber stamps are 30% off (stamp quantities are limited). Hurry, because this sale ends August 3rd, and you don't want to miss out on it!!!!!

FBC 57 ~ Shaped Cards

Good Morning Fresh Brewed Friends. 

Last week we took a  journey to the Wild Side and we spotted many gorgeous cards filled with sweet animals and sassy animal prints. One card in particular really stood out to the team and I and we HAD to share it with you.

This card made by Vanessa at My Paper Creations really took the challenge to the next level. She used a Fresh Brewed rubber and digital stamp and LOTS of awesomely wild animal print paper. To find out more about her lovely card, read on here: WILD THING
Vanessa is going to be our guest for the month of August, so be on the lookout for MANY more of her beautiful creations soon to come!
