It's FRIDAY!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

Good Morning {afternoon} everyone! 

I have just gotten home from a morning of madness. 

My husband insurance requires us to get health screanings every 6 months? 

I can't remember.. I think that is right. 

Anyway - we have to go 8 hours fasting and that meant NO COFFEE for me 

this morning. Here I am, with my FIRST cup o' joe today. Sigh. It is soo good! LOL!!! 

Well, I am not here today to gab about me, 

I am here to share an amazing project one of our NEWEST

Digi DT members, Marji, created using the

NEW FBD DIGI: BUTTERFLY FAIRY

Isn't this box just GORGEOUS?!?!

Please stop by Marji's blog to find out more 

details and leave her some happy comments. 

HUGS!!!

Good Morning!

I have a little card to share with you that I created for our Fresh Brewed Designs Facebook Challenge for September. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A FACEBOOK!!! Stop by and read this post for more details.  You could get some Free Digis if you choose to play along!!!

Here is one of those digis. 

My *extra* for this challenge is that I very lightly decorated the inside of the card

AND I included fussy cutting. 

I printed this Pumpkin Fairy in a VERY SMALL size. I was not even sure if I would be

able to color or cut her out, lol... but I did.... 

Here is my card using the new 

Welcome Pumpkin House and

 Pumpkin Fairy Digital stamps

A a part of this challenge, you have to also enter your card into one or more challenges. 

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this card.
*read more details about my card here*

Thank you for stopping by today! The  hop is drawing nearer and nearer!

We can't wait to break out all of the different FBD Stamps and share some NEW creations with you!

HOP(e) to see you there!

You are so fairy - berry sweet!!!

Good morning! 

I am here to share a few layouts with you that my beautiful friend

 Arlana at Sweetberry Designs

created using a few digis she actually wrote and requested that I create for her. 

This one features the FBD Digis Fairy Lazy Day, Little Mushrooms in a Row, and 

Fairy Sweet Gardener.

This layout features the digital stamps:  Fairy Sweet Day and Fairy Sweet

I love these high energy colors. The red, yellow and purple are just so happy and fun!

 LOVE that pop of gorgeous teal blue!

Thank you so much for sharing these and allowing me to feature them on our blog, Arlana!

Be sure to stop by Arlana's blog and check out the other fabulous designs she has created. 

She is so super SWEET and TALENTED. 

You are sure to be inspired and your mojo boosted!

FAIRY BIG  HUGS!

Too Cute Tuesday

Good morning everyone! 

I am back today to share with you a cute little card I made using the

Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp: Cutie Pie Swinging. 

Doesn't she look like she is having a fun time swinging from the little clouds over a bed of lollipop shaped flowers?!?  Her wings and shoes and little lips were painted with Inspirations Paint: fairy dust. I LOVE this paint! It is so shimmery and dries SO quickly. I can paint my project, come back within just minutes and it is dry and ready to go! Just don't forget to rinse your paintbrush as soon as you are done :D.

Now for the UPDATES:

It is August, and that means it is a BIG week for us at FBD. The first week of the month is always that way :D and we love it!!! We started off with some really fun things... Things you may have missed:

•  Our new HOT CUPPA JOE image release
• Mocha Manic Monday Freebie(check out the cards with the new image here)

Things coming up

• Our Month long Prize challenge starts TOMORROW Aug 3
• Our Month Long Prize Challenge at The Latte Lounge starts Friday Aug 8

WE HAVE  LOTS MORE FUN FILLED THINGS PLANNED, so be sure to stop in regularly so you do not miss out!

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 .....
off we go!

Bring On The Sunshine!!! Saturday Reminders

Good Morning! I am sitting here sipping my coffee looking out the window hoping for a not too hot but dry and nice day. Is that asking too much ;)?? My son has a make up tee ball game this morning so we will be moving and grooving early this Saturday.

We have a lovely lady named Rhonda that is going to be our guest designer featured on the blog every Saturday for our reminder post. She has created this ADORABLE sweetie of a card for you today! Be sure to stop in and leave Rhonda some love!!! (Isn't that sentiment just PERFECT?!?!)

Rhonda's Card

Cutie Pie Mermaid Rubber Stamp

Whisper: The Fairy

(you can read more details and find
the material lists for my cards here)

My favorite color is purple but I am always challenged when I try to use it on a card. Not sure why. That is another reason I chose the purple and green inspiration photo for Freshly Brewed Challenges this week. Both of these cards go for the challenge ~ but the cutie pie also works for the MONTH LONG PRIZE CHALLENGE: Beach / Summer theme! You CAN combine other FBD challenges with the prize challenge, so what are you waiting for???

If you have FBD images ~ why not use them. There are bonuses for you if you do. We spot something we LOVE and just have to share, boom, you are a featured card on the blog and facebook. Post in the challenges section and your card gets counted twice! AND there is a special place in the sidebar for you to link all of your FBD creations to. It is called "Calling All Cardmakers". Link all of your cards there for a chance to be featured, win a prize, and/or be a guest designer for an upcoming month or hop!!!

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
HUGS AND SMILES!!!
