NEW DIGI RELEASE - and Happy Thanksgiving!

This photo was taken while I was sitting and waiting for my children to 

get out of class at their dance studio.

The tree is simple and white with silver and teal decorations all over it. 

That was the inspiration for the cards I created to share with you today. 

These next cards were created using Fresh Brewed Designs

NEWEST digital stamps!

There were 7 stamps released today. 

Ballerina 1

Ballerina 1 with Latte

Ballerina 2

Ballerina 2 with Latte

The Nutcracker - Ballerina

Striped Snowman

Striped Tree

Go HERE to check them ALL out 

{Excuse the poor lighting on these cards. It has been raining here the past

few days and I could not get a great photo ... :-( }

I decided to draw a few dance images.

 It is what I have been doing with most of my time after all. :-) 

I was not ever a dancer. I was a tom boy. I climbed trees and played with bugs. 

However, if I WERE a ballerina, I would be one who danced and had my latte in hand the entire time :) tee hee hee. This is also true for my daughters dance teacher, Marice. 

She LOVES coffee. 

We get along well ;-)

My first card features the new digi

Ballerina 2 with Latte

I tried to get a photo to show off the sparkle, embossed vellum

and the little snowballs, but, again, poor lighting. 

Hope you can see it a little bit ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My children are also performing in this years Nutcracker ballet

at the new studio. I am so excited. My daughter has a few parts and my 

son was asked to be in the party / battle scene with Fritz and the other party boys.

They get swords and don't really have to do ballet. Of course he was in!

I drew this image in honor of a beloved Christmas tradition for many- 

The Nutcracker - Ballerina

This card has a lot of shine. 

The background paper is shimmery and the paper behind the nutcracker image is a metalic 

silver card stock.  I added crystal stickles to the white flourishes

and to the ballerinas dress. And silver stickles make the nutcracker shine. 

*you will be happy to know that my artistic daughter looked at the first version of

this image and made a crinkly face. She said his face was too round and his

eyes looked mean. When I looked at it, it looked as if he were there to eat

the poor ballerina! HAHAHA!!!

So you get the good one. I will keep the bad one to go and look at from time

to time and laugh :-)

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with us today. 

It is such a lovely day to be spending time with our friends and family and giving 

thanks for all we have. I am so thankful for all the blessings God has given me. 

I could not even begin to list them all. 

Please know that I am so thankful for all of you who visit and who love 

creating with us at Fresh Brewed Designs.

I am also thankful for my very best friends. The ladies on my design team. 

I don't know what I would do without this wonderful support group of beautiful friends.

God truly has blessed me beyond measure.

Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

November Challenge #2 - GIVE THANKS

Are you ready for a new challenge?

Lets announce our NOV CHALLENGE #1 Winner first:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elisabeth H. 

email me at freshbreweddesigns {at} yahoo [dot] com with your 

choice of 3 digital images!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's that time of year again.

The time of year where we begin to reflect on all of the things that have happened

in our lives. We think about the ones we love and those who love us.

We take more time to think about how God has blessed us and what we can do

to thank Him and bless others in return. 

I know that money is something many of us do not have. 

I know that there are many things I would like to do for my family and friends, 

but can't because we don't have the money to do so....

but in reality, what others want more than THINGS, is love. 

Your time. A phone call. A card in the mail. A hug. A moment.

Something real. I encourage you to do more of that this year. 

Now that we are all sentimental, lets get on to the new challenge!

Our new challenge is 

GIVE THANKS

***NOTE***

 Must be noticeably Thanksgiving themed or have a sentiment

that says something about giving thanks.
