FBC #124 Across The Miles

Good Morning!
We have reached our LAST weekly challenge for 2012! 
We will have one last Month long prize challenge starting next week - then on to the NEW 
things planned for 2013.
DON'T FORGET!!! 
You STILL have a chance to win our BLOG CANDY for the month of NOVEMBER.

This week we have two lovely cards to share with you that were entered into our So Thankful challenge last week. First up is Cissy with this DARLING card. I love the burlap!

and we also spotted this adorable creation by Suze. I love that she created a Christmas themed thankful card. Look at the glitter in his beard :) So cute!!!

Thank you both for entering these SWEET cards. 
Feel free to snag the 'I was featured' badge in the sidebar for your blogs if you wish 
and drop me an email with 3 digis of choice for your prize for being featured. 


NOW FOR THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE
It is a THEME challenge
{{ ACROSS THE MILES}}

This is the time of year when we spend more time thinking about how thankful we are for our family and friends who have touched our lives and hearts in such a special way. We want to take the time to send them a reminder of how much they mean to us. This entry could be an I miss you card, something for a family or friend who lives too far away to visit as often as you would like, a card for operation write home...

Here are some examples that our super talented and lovely FBD DT created this week.

Winter Wishes

Is it starting to feel like winter where you live? We had some snow over Thanksgiving here in Pittsburgh. It decided not to hang around though, which is fine by me. Not the snowman on this card can certainly hang around 'cause I think he is quite handsome! His name is Hearts and Stars Snowman and can be found in the Fresh Brewed Designs store HERE. Quick and easy is what this card was, just the way I like it. I have a busy day ahead with lots of errands so I'm glad this went together so quickly. If you want more details on my card, please visit my blog, The Stamper's Touch. Don't forget tomorrow we will be sharing a new fun challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog. You still have time to play along in our month long challenge too, it's a wonderful sketch (read all about it HERE).

Hannah Belle Cooks

Let me tell you, Hannah Belle did a lot of cooking this weekend!!! We had our last rubber release and blog hop this past Saturday  thru Monday and sweet Hannah was popping up everywhere!!! She is so cute with that little tongue sticking out in concentration to the task at hand. I think she's working on a batch of chocolate chip cookies...YUM, there's nothing better than a warm cookie straight out of the oven. Sorry, my mind went elsewhere for a moment!! I had to share with you a quick card I made last night using dear Hannah Belle. You can get your own at the Fresh Brewed Designs store HERE. Scroll down and you'll also find Love Bird Owls, the other adorable rubber stamp just released.

November Rubber Stamp Release / Blog Hop

Good Morning!
Welcome to Fresh Brewed Designs LAST rubber stamp release and blog hop for 2012!
We are so excited to have you sharing in this fun event with us!
If you are just arriving here, this IS the first hop stop, so you are right on track!  

There is just something about this time of year that makes me happy. 
All of the worries and stresses seem to fade away as we spend time with those we love.
We get to bake and fill our homes with wonderful smells, make lasting memories, share love and smiles with others, some of whom we may never even meet. It is a very loving and selfless time of year. This release reflects some of those things. Hannah Belle Cooks brings in the joy of baking, cooking, sharing times with our kids, laughing, making messes, and lots of smiling. Our Love Bird Owls draw us closer together. Keeping warm together on a cool night. Sharing our hearts with those around us.

Today's project is not mine! I am so excited to be able to feature this wonderful card as our FIRST HOP STOP CARD! Barbara is a member of Splitcoast Stampers and makes absolutely gorgeous cards. I was thrilled to have her a part of this hop with us! Here is her card using the Love Bird Owls: 

Thank you for stopping by today!
Your next hop stop is the lovely and talented VANESSA. 

Don't forget to hop in full to see all of the fabulous cards and to have a chance to win
some yummy Blog Candy!!! 

See you in 2013!

Here is the hop order in case you need it:

Be Jolly

I know, it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I can't help myself, there are so many wonderful Christmas stamps, papers and embellishments that I simply have to play!!! Here I used a super fun Fresh Brewed Designs image called Cookies and Cocoa. I added some Stickles to the marshmallows and pulled out some old Basic Grey paper. Does the sketch look familiar? It should...it's our month long prize challenge for November!!

I had so much fun the first time around with this sketch, I thought I would use it again!! Also I could remind you of our month long challenge too!

Another reminder I wanted to share was to be sure and join us for our last rubber release and blog hop for the year is happening this Saturday thru Monday. You won't want to miss it, that's for sure!!
