So hard to say goodbye....

OK, sooooo I HATE that I am writing this post.
Every inch of my body is just going NOOOOO!!!
 ICK!!!
{{ Cringe and sad face all at once }}

It is time to say goodbye to a few of our 
AMAZING, WONDERFUL, KIND, SWEET,
GIVING, CARING, LOVING, TRUSTWORTHY, 
FBD Design Team members. 
These ladies have been by my side and worked so hard for me.
I love each and every one of them.
They make me smile.
Encourage me. 
Lift me up. 
Pray for me.
Listen to me whine. 
Put up with my mistakes and scatterbrained days. 
They are SO MUCH MORE than just DT member. 
They are my friends. 


I feel that it is time to let them move on and to expand on their own 
creative needs. Some are starting their own challenge blogs and others are busy designing for several other companies and challenge blogs. Everyone busy and happy and loving what they are doing. 
That makes me happy!!! But I am still sad to see them go.
I am also chainging things this year at FBD. It may take some time, but things are in the works and
I am in the planning stages. It was not fair to keep EVERYONE just hanging in limbo while this went on.

So, as hard as it is, please join me in wishing a happy {sad} farewell to our beloved
FBD Designers:








Lisa and Edwina created a project for their farewell post.


HONEY BUNNY Digital Stamp



 HOUSE ON A HILL
and MAILBOX  Digital Stamps



THANK YOU ALL for being there for me and for being such wonderful friends. 
I could never begin to explain how blessed I am to know you and hope that you will all
keep in touch and know that I am here for you ALWAYS!!!

(now for a bit of just gab and 'typing' out loud (instead of thinking out loud) lol!

Fresh Brewed Designs has been open for a few years now.
We started out small with just a few digis, a few friends, and a dream. 
It was NOT EASY!
 I am not very computer savvy. 
My friends had to help and put up with a LOT
of phone calls, emails, and researching things for and with me. 
We finally got started and  then moved on to bigger things. 
MORE research and planning and stressing and phone calls. 
I finally took a big step and began creating red rubber stamps. 
I began sponsoring challenges and  hosting my own challenges. 
I had my first DT! 
 It was (is) so much fun meeting and sharing 
our creativity with so many others. I am so blessed by all who 
stop by and say hello, play in our challenges, email, and join our events. 
My customers mean SO much to me. They are not just customers, but fast friends. 
I sometimes regret not having the instant downloads on my site, but then
LOVE being able to personally email the images to my customers and have
that relationship with them. 
All of that being said, 2015 is going to be one of those "wait, what?" years for FBD.
We are looking forward and I am doing research and trying to figure out how to change things up
and what I want to do at FBD. I am also homeschooling, keeping a home, cooking and all that stuff, and spending over 15 hours a week at my kids dance studio. We have competitions coming up .. 
That means extra practices, helping paint and make props ... 
You name it. 
We are doing it. 
So please have patience with us (ME) as we get through the next few months and prepare for
bigger and better things at Fresh Brewed Designs. 

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with us today.

Big hugs and smiles, 
Heather

I Heart You

Good morning! Linda here and I'm back to share my card using the FAB-U-LOUS image Face 2. This is one of the newly released digis at Fresh Brewed Designs. I simply had to use it because I too am a short hair red head! Now I don't have blue eyes but I wanted to put a pop of something bright. In fact, red heads with blue eyes is the rarest combination in the world! Who knew?!!

Be sure and head over to Fresh Brewed Designs to see all the newest digis released this week. I promise, you're gonna like what you see!!!

New Digi Release - Romantic Faces



GOOD MORNING!
It's time for a NEW  DIGI RELEASE at


The images this month were drawn and inspired by beauty and romance.
Not because Valentine's day is soon approaching.... I have had a few of these
saved in my sketch book since summer. Some images just come from the heart, 
and are a reflection of how one is feeling at that moment. A piece of me went into 
each of these drawings and I do hope you love them as much as I do. 

God created everything - and took care in creating it.
Everything is perfect and beautiful ...
but WE were chosen. 
For a purpose. 
For a plan.
WE were FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE! (Psalm 139:14)

What does God say about beauty?




The FBD team has made some pretty amazing, romantic, girly, and beautiful creations
with these new images. I know you are going to fall in love!

Lets get started!

Happy B-day!
