Friendship : Card Feature

Hello!

It's me back again today with a fun card freature. 

This card is an older one, but I really wanted to showcase it here on the challenge blog

so that you would get the chance to see it too. 

Jen at JLJ DESIGNS created this super cute card using the FBD Digital Stamp

OWL SHARE MY ICE CREAM

I love the beautiful papers she chose, especially the cherries :). 

The image is perfectly shaded. The card has great layering and lovely little flowers

that draw your eyes in to the image and add that extra bit of dimension and femininity.

I think this is a perfectly sweet card to get us ready for summertime, don't you?

Thank you for creating this SWEET card Jen. 

OWL be seeing you all tomorrow for our CAFFEINE CRAZY CHALLENGE!

WOOT WOOT!

(The past few posts have told you about the challenge, so if you want to

Decorations and Singing

Some of my favorite memories of Christmas are looking at the decorations in my home, driving around neighborhoods at night and looking at all of the lights, and seeing the insides / outsides of churches decorated to celebrate the birth of Christ. Even if it is a simple little wreath, it brings a smile to my face and heart. 

And singing! I just adore Christmas songs. The fun ones are cute to listen to and have the kids sing along to in the car, but to hear Oh Holy Night, or Mannheim Steamroller Carol of the Bells, or a simple and sweet tune of Silent Night! My heart leaps with joy and thanks and worship. 

This week has been a hard one hearing about all of the things going on in the world, especially in Newton, Connecticut. I can not get online without crying and seeing photos of these sweet babies and their hurting families. It has been hard to get online much at all. I have spent a lot of extra time with my family. We are not buying  many gifts this year, but spending as much time together as we can. That is what Christmas is about; sharing Love with all of those around us.

I have browsed through the AMAZING Christmas cards showcased 

in this challenge and have a few to feature here for you. 

First up is Edwina with this elegant  card using a 

Fresh Brewed Digital Stamp Row of Ornaments

 

Judy at In Search of My Creative Side

has shared this ADORABLE little bundle of sweetness with us:

and last but not least is this SWEET little creation by 

Mason Jar Cards. I LOVE the look of the embossed kraft paper and

that deep red. Gorgeous!!!

I know I said I had the shop closed, but a few blogs that I am sponsoring wrote me to let me know

they can't choose their digis for upcoming challenges (DOH) so the digis are still available for you to 

look at / choose from / purchase if you want.

As for our featured guests: 

Please stop by the shop and choose 3 digis as your prize for being featured if you wish. 

You can also snag the 'I was featured' badge for your sidebar!

Have a very blessed and beautiful day today. 

HUGS!

Heather

Featured DT Member

Today is one of our beautiful DT members birthdays. 

This lady is so wonderful, talented and so super sweet. 

She has been with me here at FBD since the very beginning.

Here is a little FBD history. I started designing in  2009. I was just learning the tricks of the trade and getting used to drawing again. I opened a digi shop and just had fun with it. Around May 2010 I started the challenge blog and my first design team. By November 2010 I decided to try my hand at designing and selling rubber stamps.  I had a DT call. Only a handful entered (we were still small and not well known then) One of those amazing people was Linda. She has been through all of the hoops, ooopsies, WOWS, excitement, laughter and tears.  I am so grateful for her and really wanted to use this post to highlight a few of her first cards and to tell her

 Happy BIRTHDAY !!

 I love you girl!!  

Here's a cute card that Linda created as one of

her first handful of DT assignments in 2010

{I thought it was quite fitting to share for her birthday today}

Here is one of Linda's DT application cards :))

and here is her VERY FIRST DT assignement cards. 

YES, she was still doing all of that gorgeous stitching and layering. 

I know I could personally go back to 2010, look at my cards and cringe! hahahah!!!

 I hope you have a wonderful day Linda

Big hugs from all of us at Fresh Brewed Designs!!!

Heather and the FBD Team

She used one of the newest Fresh Brewed Designs Digital Stamps: Crafty Gal

for her super fun, happy, bright, beautiful and cheerful card :D

Don't you just LOVE it?!?!?!

Last week when we all were chatting on Facebook, Chriss said that she would like to see a girl crafting away wearing her PJs and bunny slippers. I told her I would get to work on it for her, and voila, here she is. 

I was wanting to make a Crafty Gal for some time now, but the mojo just was not flowing ... so Chriss was there at just the perfect time!!!

Good Morning.

I am here to share with you our featured card for the week! It is by a wonderful lady named Amanda. Her blog is called Colouring Our World and not only is she mega talented, she is so sweet!
Every time I have been in a pinch, she was always there to help me. She is always encouraging and always happy. Just the type of person you feel good to be around :). When I saw her card she created using Hot Date, I knew she was our next featured card.

Isn't this set gorgeous?!?! I love those rich earthy colors. The pocket that was created to match the card and go as a set is holding a pack of Starbucks Via packets (perfect!!!:) Amanda also is the owner of IAS (In A Scrap Creations). She has the most adorable ribbon kits, card kits and more!!! Be sure to check out her shop!

Thank you Amanda, for all you do. Congratulations on being our Featured Card. Feel free to grab the badge to display on your blog if you want!
