DT Feature Post: Patti

Good Saturday Morning!
I do hope everyone is able to take some time to rest and rejuvenate today.
Brew yourself a fresh pot of coffee (or tea .. or whatever you like)
and take some time to just chill out. Maybe your chilling out involves watching a movie, 
listening to music, taking a nap ... or perhaps it involves creating.
If so, we have some cute inspiration for you today.

Patti created her sweet little card using the digital stamp:



She used our month long CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
{Sketch} as her inspiration.

I am here with my SECOND post for the day! 
Ok .. breathe...  I know it has been hard to get one out of me... but two! 
It's a shock, I know, but we will get through this together. 



This card was created using the Fresh Brewed Designs digital image:

I had fun putting all of the embellishments and papers together.

Papertrey Inc cardstock (white and brown), homemade felt flower, 
Making Memories Je t'Adore velvet leaves, Making Memories Je t'Adore brads,

This image is extra sweet  
She is called:


I colored this little sweetie with my prismacolor markers and copic markers.
All of the papers were found in my scrap pile. 
The edge of the card was glittered with Martha Stewart Crystal fine glitter
and double sided tape.

~Simple and Sweet ~ 

Don't forget about our BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY

Fresh Brewed DT Feature Post


Good Morning Everyone.
Is it a bit chilly where you live today?
I know it is here. 
When I saw Marji's card for today's post my immediate thought was
"Oh, she must have been outside taking a little walk :) 
Her little face looks a bit chapped from the cold winds."

Fresh Brewed Designs 
Digital Stamp:

And I was right! 
Marji stated in her post that she
"used a dry paint brush and a pale pink ink pad to add color to her cheeks,
 nose and chin to make her look like she's been out in the cold."
She added the frosty snow feeling by adding stickles to the little
puff on her hat. 



Please stop by Marji's Blog {tiggerscraps} 
for more details on this card.

Love....

Good Morning.
I am going to keep this short and sweet ...
but if you want to read more about this card and see a more 'chatty' post, 
feel free to stop by my personal blog >>Heather's Coffee Break <<

This card was created using the new Fresh Brewed Designs Digital Stamp

I have to admit that I started this card using a blue, cloud embossed background
and a glittered tree...and it look like a kindergartener threw up all over my project! 
NO LIE!!!
I knew it was a hot mess, but still looked at it for a while thinking 
what it would look like if I went through with it.... 



I decided once a hot mess, always a hot mess
and I chose not to keep it. I then started a whole new card. 
SO happy I did. I fell in love with this as I made it. 
It just makes me smile and get that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Feel the Love with these new images...

If you happened to miss it on Monday, we had a blog hop over here to release all the incredible new Fresh Brewed Designs images out for January.  Just in case you didn't have a chance to participate in the hop, I wanted to make sure that you got the opportunity to check out all the great new digis for sale.  Take a look...
Beautiful Rose
First up we have Beautiful Rose.  A rather appropriate name for her don't you think as she is quite a beauty.   Rose has a new beau in her life who has made it his mission to ensure that she never lacks for fresh roses in her home.  Wow, we could probably all do with someone like that in our lives, couldn't we.  Hmmm...I wonder if he has any brothers...cousins, uncles, etc...doesn't matter as long as they were all born with the same flower giving genes.

Cierra
Next up meet Cierra.  Cierra looks like she is up to some mischief.  I know she has been talking for weeks now about some upcoming plans she has for Valentine's Day.  I wonder what she is plotting?  I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we.

Snow in Love
This is a great deal. Not only do you get this adorable Snow in Love image but you also get the sentiment that you see at the bottom of the watermark.  This little guy has been busy.  Now cutting out paper hearts may not seem like a difficult task, but it is extremely hard when you are a snowman and have twigs for arms.  However, this sweet snowman loves his mate snow much, he was willing to get the job done.  Let's all congratulate him on his success shall we?  I'd love to see the look on his mate's face when he gives this heartfelt gift to her.  Maybe Heather will get a snapshot of that too!
Warm My Heart Mug
If you'd like to brew up a little bit of love for someone you care about, then this Warm My Heart Mug image is perfect for you!  A card created with this digi would go a long way to warm someone up on a cold winter's night.   What are you waiting for?  I'm sure there are many people you can think of who could use a little warming right about now!  Hint, hint...it is REALLY cold in Ontario, Canada, right now!

Necking Giraffes
Hee, hee, hee!  I spotted these two Necking Giraffes recently while out and about.  They towered head and shoulders above the crowd so it made it easier to spot them.   They certainly seem to be all wrapped up in each other, don't they? It is nice to see that after having been together for a long time, they still con-neck-t so well.   I'm sure that their love will continue to reach new heights. Am I giraffing you crazy yet?

Well that is it folks.  That is five brand new images from Heather for you to play with.  I know I can't wait to start working with them.  We are so happy that you were able to stop by and check them out.  Don't forget, you can find these images plus a whole lot more over in the Fresh Brewed Designs shop.  I hope you have the chance to take some time for yourself, grab a cuppa and relax while browsing through the store. Maybe one or two images will find their way back home with you.  You know you want to!

Until next time,
