If you did not get the chance to stop by yestdarday, please scroll down ONE post as see what our BEAUTIFUL SEPTEMBER GUEST DESIGNER  Crystal at scrapcandydesigns

has created for you. There is an awesome about me and more. You really don't want to miss this post!!!

September Guest Designer Post #1

I am SOOOOO excited to share with you our guest designer for September. She is a super talented and very sweet lady. I am not sure if you remember, but she won our challenge with this card and not long after that day did  I invited her to be our guest designer for September. Yes, I have had to wait that long to announce her :D and patience is not one of my best qualities :) lol!!! 

Welcome with a great big FBD welcome and hugs:

Crystal from scrapcandydesigns

and here is a little bit about her:

 

I am now a SAHM, after spending nearly 15 years in print media, who lives in Oklahoma and is happily married to the love of my life! We have an awesome 15 year old son (who's going on 30...lol!) and a 6 year old fur baby, a Boxer we rescued from a local shelter. I started scrapping about 5 years ago when my mother-in-law bought me a kit for Christmas. Two years later she also got me a Cricut for Christmas and that was it for me, I was totally hooked! Less than a year later I was on my first design team and had a blog. I've not slowed down since and absolutely love the creative outlet it offers me, plus it allows me to preserve so many memories to hand down to our son or look back on when my husband and I are old and gray! When I'm not crafting or spending time with my family, I'm usually reading, cooking or playing taxi driver to our son & his friends. I also have a huge love of music, as does our entire family, and our son is a multi-instrumentalist playing primarily drums in his band. He also recently tried out for the church's youth band and made it too!! Thanks for letting me brag a little...us moms can get pretty crazy as you know...lol!

Don't you just love her already?!?!  

Candy has created this BEAUTIFUL card using the

Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp: LOVE MUG

Isn't this just GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE the colors. That pop of green just makes me happy! Doesn't it? I love the layers and the little bows. Be sure to stop by her blog and check out the other photos she has shared and more details on this card... and most importantly.. to leave her some LOVE!!! :)

I asked Candy a few 'getting to know you' questions and here are the answers she gave for this week.... 

1.How did you find out about Fresh Brewed Designs?   

 

  I was browsing challenge blogs & looking for something new, as well as fun, when I stumbled upon FBD. Since then, I've been hooked to all the fun challenges, great inspiration & sweet atmosphere!

2. Do you like coffee? (had to ask;) lol!!!)

 

  I do love coffee! I love it extra sweet with lots of creamer, especially flavored creamers like hazelnut! Mmmmm!

3. What is your favorite flavor - style of coffee beverage (if you do;) lol!) 

  Hands down, iced coffees! Just adore them...so yummy! But, I also really love me a good cappuccino - especially in the winter months! 

NEXT Saturday will hold more questions with a stamping theme :) so be sure to come back and see what she has prepared for us then!!!  I know I can't wait!!! :)

Super Sweet Monday

Good Morning!

I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their week ahead. 

If you need a boost, you are at the right place!!! 

Our Guest Designer, Vanessa at My Paper Creations, has created some OH SO SWEET cards to inspire you and get your  mojo brewing today. 

This first card was created using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp

LOVE MUG

I love these soft caramel browns, that sweet touch of pink, a  pop of yellow, and of course the gorgeous lace trim. Who wouldn't want to receive this beauty in the mail?!?

For her next card she used two digis. The front of the card is showcasing Cupcake Owl.  I love these cheerful colors and the sweet decorative branch she sat him on!

for the inside of this sweetie she used the digital stamp

Cupcake Stack Birthday

I love birthdays!!! Another excuse to EAT CAKE!!! WOOHOOO!!!!:)

 Vanessa just celebrated a birthday, so be sure to stop by her blog, leave her some comments and smiles and wish her a late happy birthday :)

Now, where do I find something comparable to go with my morning cuppa joe?? ;) hahahah I want something sweet now! How about you?

Before I leave you....

I h ave to show you something HOT!!!

Vanessa created THIS CARD for our Month Long PRize Challenge:

HOT! HOT! HOT! 

where we want to see your hot images and or colors.

digis
Hot Cuppa Joe and Country Girl Birthday

you can see it larger and read all of the details at her blog.

Hope you have a super sweet and wonderfully blessed day.

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:

Good Afternoon!

I hope everyone is having a super wonderful lovely weekend so far. (I know it just started, but I hope yours started off  right :)!) I know at Fresh Brewed Designs, we are!! I have had my morning java and am ready to take on  the day! My husband is off work and we are going to spend time together and with the kids.
On the other hand, Our lovely latte lady rubber stamp has been so very lonely. She keeps telling me she loves all the places she has been and has loved visiting all of the coffee shops, but it gets tiring  going by herself all the time. I introduced her to who we lovingly call Hot Cuppa Joe and she couldn't be happier! :D hehehe

Well, maybe I have had TOO much coffee today .... but I hope you are smiling and putting up with me and my craziness. All of this leads up to a NEW DIGITAL STAMP RELEASE!!! I had some free time on my  hands this week sitting with a not so well little man, so I took advantage of my being lazy and created this to share with all of you Fresh Brewed Designs fans :)

Here he is.....

drumroll please.....

Welcome to the family:

Hot Cuppa Joe 

 He is standing with our lovely latte lady, I'll Take Mine to Go rubber stamp.
 you can read more about this card in the post at my blog Heather's Coffee Break

I don't know about you, but Saturday is the one day I usually get out of my pjs (or yoga pants) and hit the town (aka grocery store!) hahah!!! In honor of  this we are making today all about FASHION!!! Sassy sweet and HOT!

This next project has the perfect mix of sweet and sexy. Our guest designer, Sheryl, created this AWESOME purse featuring Caution: Contents are Hot! rubber stamp and painted with Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint as a reminder of this weeks Shaped Cards challenge.

I LOVE the white dress with the bling buttons. I am telling you, if possible, I would TOTALLY LOVE TO HAVE A REAL PURSE LIKE THIS!!! I love it that much!!!

OK... now prepare yourself for the 

CUTEST THING EVER TO HIT THIS BLOG

Suzie Q!!

Isn't this just SOOO SWEET!!! It makes my heart melt and break because sweet little Susie Q reminds me of my little Daisy who passed away a few years ago. But anyway.... on to something happier. I just loved that Sheryl snapped this pic at just the right moment. Happy to meet you Susie Q and to get to share you with all of our Fresh Brewed Designs Fans :D

Happy Happy Happy Monday!

 Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie Butterfly rubber stamp

(if you have already been to my blog and seen this card, forgive me... it is a repost)

I created this card this week for a few challenges and am sharing it with you today for a few reasons:

1) I thought you could use something happy and sweet to start your Monday

2) as a reminder of our MONTH LONG PRIZE challenge

• 2 patterned papers, 2 embellies, 2 shapes

3)  the saddest news of all, because our sweet DT member Kelly has decided it is time for her to move on and step down from the team. Kelly and Jeanette both in fact. So Monday and Tuseday's will be taken over by the FBD team until we fill these Design Team places.

You can read all about the materials used and how this sweet card was created on my blog here: Strawberries are Sweet

a few more reminders for you

This weeks sale:Ends July 26 midnight EST 40% off Coffee Digital Stamps 

Our weekly challenge: Get Wild ends July 26th at midnight EST

Our Month long prize challenge at The Latte Lounge ends August 4 midnight EST

AND we just released a new digital image: Gardening Granny. Check out the post here for cards and links and a whole lotta fresh brewed inspiration.

Summer Days drifting away...

..to, oh, those summer nights

The days of summer... hot and humid. About the only thing you can do is find somewhere to cool off whether it be a store, the mall, a pool, or the beach... but at night the sun goes down, the summer breeze comes out to play, the moon is bright and the waves dance across the sand. There is nothing more magical than a summer night, wouldn't you agree?

The Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp, Beach Bums (I do call her so lovingly) is having her lemonade watching the sun as it goes down. She has more than likely had a fun day at the beach and is now preparing to have a leasurly stroll down the boardwalk, perhaps meet her sweetheart for a romantic dinner. Whatever it may be, she will enjoy herself and make wonderful summer memories to last until NEXT summer :)

This card was created by our lovely Guest Designer for July: Sheryl

Sheryl is giving away this rubber stamp as blog candy on her site! 

Don't wait, you are running out of time! Stop by, leave her some comments / love and follow the rules to win her candy. 

I hope you all have the perfect Saturday and get the chance to enjoy your hot summer day (and night) to the fullest.

HUGS and SMILES!
