Happy Wednesday!!!
It is very cool here this morning. I really wonder about this weather lately. WOW!!! We had hail twice over the past week. I have not seen hail since I was a young child. As quickly as the storm came, it was gone. The kids thought it was neat and a little scary. ;)
Anyway ~ You are not here to listen to my little stories, you are here for the next Freshly Brewed Challenge!!!

This week we are simply asking you to create something
RED WHITE and BLUE
*you can use other colors, but mostly these*

The Fresh Brewed Crew created some knock you off your seat cuties for you this morning using Fresh Brewed Designs Digis and Rubber stamps.
Take a deep breath .....
