The challenge I have for you this week is to
USE TWO OR MORE PATTERNED PAPERS


The cards I created for you are created with one of Fresh Brewed Designs new rubber stamps:
I'll Take Mine to Go!
YES! we now sell rubber!!! AND a new shop!!! And to celebrate we are having a GRAND OPENING PARTY over at Paper Craft Planet. Check out THIS POST for more details. I do hope you will join in on the fun!!! There are several games, challenges and prizes to be won that night!!! You dont want to miss it!!!
There is also a new badge in the sidebar linking the new shop. Feel free to snag and /or replace your other with this one!

I have to start this part of the post by saying THANK YOU to everyone who applied to the team. I know I cut the time a little short. I meant for the call to be over on the 10th (the night of the 9th) but in my madness in my head, I posted wrong. Forgive me for that.
It was so wonderful to get so many people interested and seeing so much talent come through my email. I feel so very honored and blessed that so many people tried out. I had to narrow the applicants nearly in half (which was SO hard to do) and am now ready to announce the new team


And 4 of our lovely Fresh Brewed Ladies reapplied and are staying on the team.
They are:

I am so excited to start this new step Fresh Brewed Designs is taking with you all.
Thank you again for joining the team and I look forward to growing and sharing more with you all!

This card was created by our new member Saskia.
She created it to share her post about making the team, little did she know it went with the challenge theme.
Here is the sweet card she created using the Fun foods image: Little Love Muffin



Please post a direct link to your
card with TWO OR MORE PATTERNED PAPERS
cards in the inlinks below.
Thank you for stopping by today and for taking the time to read this very important post!

Let's see some cards ladies!!! I did have time to create one myself :) Shocker!!! I have been so busy lately. Don't forget about the DT call. If you are interested SCROLL DOWN to read more.

This weeks challenge is simply anything goes

I hope you will get to get sketchy with us and brew up a fun creation of your own!
Please take time to read the post below about the DT call:


Now, we have some big things going on over here at FBC this week. This challenge will run for 2 weeks due to the changes we are undergoing. My current DT whom I love and hold so close to my heart has been with me for around a year now. After talking with my girls, we decided it was time to move on to new things and to lighten their burdens for a while. It breaks my heart to see them go, but I know that they have other things in their lives to attend to. They are the start of FBD and the Crew and will always be a big part of the team.

Fresh Brewed Designs is having a FULL DT CALL. We are looking for people who love to create and are excited to be a part of getting a new business on it's feet and walk around out there. We need to meet new people and fellowship Fresh Brewed Designs style!

If you are interested, here is how you can apply for the team and what we require:

**Fresh Brewed Designs DT call is now closed Thank you all for applying!!! **

Thank you for taking the time to read the post. I can not wait to see your applications.
Please leave your direct link for your challenge card in the in linkz below.
Hugs and smiles!!!

**Important** FBD email issues


Many of my friends emails have been hacked into and I have let them know through alternate emails or in a group setting. They changed their password and all was fine. Now, My freshbreweddesigns yahoo account has been compromised. I can no longer access this account. Someone has broken into it and has changed my password among other things making it appear impossible for me to get into it. I have contacted yahoo several times, with no luck. PLEASE do not email me at the freshbreweddesigns@yahoo.com until I say otherwise. In turn, please do not open any emails sent to you through that account. It is not from me and I would not want you to receive spam on my account. Forgive me if I have caused you any problems.
