Hi Friend!

Hi!!! 
I am here to share not only one but two cards with you! WOOT WOOT!

The first is featuring the digital stamp: Triple Scoop
She LOVES her yarn I tell ya :-) I had a lot of fun with this card.
 There is just something about orange and pink that just makes me happy. :-)

SEE! orange + pink = Happy


Next up is a card I created using the NEWLY RELEASED RUBBER STAMP

I took this stamp (which is actually two girls together) cut and removed her friend from her (mean I know)
and added this little chipboard button heart. I sometimes feel like when I use too many embellies that my card looks like a thrift store threw up on it. I am not good at adding lots of flowers and blingage and buttons and ribbons altogether like some people I know *cough* Sheryl (just to name one) But I do think this one flows pretty well. I had fun adding the YEARS old forgotten chipboard embellies. Hope you like it too :)

Feelin' Groovy

Happy Tuesday to you. Linda here writing from Pittsburgh, PA, anxiously awaiting the weekend to get here because we are off to the beach!!! It should be fun spending the 4th of July there! Who am I kidding, it's fun spending any time of day there!!!

I so enjoy sharing my Fresh Brewed Designs cards with you every Tuesday. Some weeks I have a theme in mind of what I want to create. Other times, like this one, I'm simply winging it, using an image I already have colored or had printed it off for a different challenge. I used Flower Child because I had recently bought some really fun ribbon with peace signs all over it. And yes, I put my whole card together and never added the ribbon!!!! Oh bother. It's still a fun card.

Come back tomorrow for a new fabulous and fun challenge. You will love it!

The two winners are


Congratulations ladies please email me at Celeste@touchedbyabutterfly.com and let me know which kit you would like.. You can find all my kits here.
Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments.

Hello Friend

So tell me, what did you think of our blog hop this weekend?! I sure hope you took advantage of the awesome deal. I wanted to share my quick card using the newly released stamp You + Me = BFF. So fun to use...and I even did some paper piecing. Now thanks to a serious sinus headache, my creativity was a bit low...alright, very low, but I really wanted to play with this stamp! It's quick, even with the paper piecing. And you know what else is quick??? This post!!!! Hehehe!

It's supposed to be a scorcher here in Pittsburgh today, mid 90s with high humidity. That's the part I hate. It forces me to turn on the air conditioning so then I freeze! You are so right, I am never satisfied!!

You still have time to play in our Anything Goes 100th challenge. Tomorrow be sure and come back for our new fun challenge.





*Edited to add*
