Have some FUN!!!

I am here to share a FUN card with you. 
I am not ready for summer heat, but am ready for some NICE
sunny warm weather. I prefer it to stay in the high 70's low 80's. 
I think that kind of weather is PERFECT!!!!!
We only get a week or so of it... then the SUMMER HEAT blasts through. Sigh.
But I enjoy that week.

Lets beat the cold with some SUMMER FUN!

Here is a card I created with the following Fresh Brewed Digi Set:



 

I also added loose glitter to the waves and some glossy accent bubbles around
the little sea creatures. 





So, what are you waiting for?
Go have some fun today!!! 
Create, call a friend, watch your favorite movie, go for a walk (weather permitting)


This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Merman



OK, so I don't draw many male images... but when I
was sketching up my new mermaid digis, I decided they 
HAD to be made. I drew my not so skinny guy, Merlin, 
and then his companion, Myrtle. Then I decided to make a more
'handsome' merman. I always have a harder time drawing men, but
was happy with the way he came together. 


Marinus Digital Stamp - Fresh Brewed Designs

This digital stamp, Marinus, was colored with Copic and prismacolor makers 
then painted over with creative inspirations paint: fairy dust.



I do think this project would have looked better as a tag, 
but I ran out of time. :(

Thank you for stopping by!

August New Digi Release: Mermaids - DT Feature

Happy Thursday!
I am so happy to be here sharing these awesome cards with you today.
When I first woke up I was sooo out of it. 
I had NO IDEA what today even was! :/
My husband is in training classes and not working his normal schedule, 
so everything seems just off this week.

Now it's time to see some
FRESH BREWED INSPIRATION

Isn't she just gorgeous?
I love the hot pink hair and that Linda stepped out of her comfort zone
and tried a little distressing! Beautiful!
And check out that ADORABLE paper!
I can't help but start singing 'Under the Sea' from the Little Mermaid
when looking at this. And so fitting since Linda is living it up right now at Disney.
Sigh. ;)




Oh Merlin! You silly merman! You make me smile.
Love the way Lori shaded this image and the fun sentiment
she paired with it. Merlin looks as handsome as ever ;) 
Much like most of our hubbys, right ladies? 
Beautiful bright colors and such a happy little card! LOVE!


Thank you for stopping by today.
I hope you all have a super fabulous and blessed day!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

When I say hot, I mean hot!
Here is what my local weather says for today:
"Highs will climb to the upper 80s to near 90 for the beaches and the mid to upper 90s inland, but it's the humidity that will make it feel dangerously hot. The heat index will reach the upper 90s at the beach and 102 inland today."

I know many of you who live in much hotter areas will be getting 
much worse than I, so please be safe and stay hydrated!!!

Now on to some cards that will help us
Beat the Heat!


LINDA created this super cute and fun card
featuring one of our newest digital stamps:
 Look at these GORGEOUS clouds!
I can say that I have tried this and failed a few times, lol!
This card is a 'job well done' indeed!



SHERYL created this sweet little card 
featuring the digital stamp

Everything about this card makes me smile!
Sheryl, you certainly have a way with all of your gorgeous embellishemnts. 
Your cards tell a beautiful story.
I especially love the touches of glitter on the edges of the paper.




For my card, I used the rubber stamp
The sand and background of the card was spritzed with a silver
glimmer mist. Much prettier in real life. 

So we have shared with you a few ways to help you beat the heat
and enjoy your day! 

Thank you for stopping by.
