Samaritan's Purse

you can find the current FBChallenge HERE

FORGIVE me for not getting this up early. I have been preparing some boxes and will take them this week... but for those of you who did not know about this organization, I urge you to make note of it and remember it ... if you have time to donate, please do! If you can't, Prayer is the best gift you can give. Pray for our children. We are all God's children. He has blessed us all so much, all it takes is a little box to reach out and change one persons life forever!

FBC #23 Show Off Your Style!

Good morning everyone. I am so in awe of the lovely creations you all submitted last week. I have been to see them, but I have not had time to comment this week. Please forgive me for that. I have been super busy and in the process have gotten myself (and my son and mom) sick. I will do better this week!!!

Our winner for last weeks challenge is random # 105
Lelia Pierce: Green Goddess Creations

The challenge this week was chosen to get everyone excited and to kick things off with our new Fresh Brewed Designs DT! I am so honored to be able to announce and again say welcome to the team... or to the Fresh Brewed family rather. We are so much more than a team here. :)
Anyway ~ These ladies really knocked my socks off...

***You can find the Current Challenge Here!***

The lady I am featuring today is a very dear friend of mine. I have known her and been in awe of her work well before we entered blog world a few years ago. We used to meet and chat at a place called Cafe Mom and shared 'mom' stuff, friend stuff.

This card today was created by her ingenious hands :D
She has such a unique and fun style and always uses different elements on her creations that many of us would never think about using. Make you go 'duh!' :D
She created this card using the image
Have a Sweet Day
found in the Fun Foods area of my shop




Isn't this just darling?!?!

Good Morning!

Unfortunately we can only have one winner and that winner is:

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

Freshly Brewed Challenge and DT Call

OOPS!!! I meant to set the inlinkz for 2 weeks!! My bad!!! I see that this sketch is not so much of a mojo drawing one at the moment ;) so I am also making it optional for this week. 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

with an optional sketch challenge:

Heather

Scrappy (Guest)

Grace

Rhonda

Jeanette

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!!!
