Freshly Brewed Challenge May 20-26 ~ Red White and Blue

This week at Freshly Brewed Challenges, 

we are challenging you to create something using the colors RED WHITE AND BLUE.

Here is a card I created using Cutie Bug Flag

and a computer generated sentiment

The card base is a light blue PTI cardstock, the star paper is by Making Memories: Just Chillin paper pack, and the rest of the papers were all found in my scrap pile

I used a white gel pen to draw dots around the card and a red shimmer pen to draw 

on the red stripes on the flag. They didn't turn out the way I wanted. More of a pink -

silver shimmer than the bold red they were before... but whatcha gonna do?!? :)

I hope you will stop by and play along with us at Freshly Brewed Challenges!

Have a happy and blessed day!

Happy Memorial Day

I took this photo a few weeks ago when we took the kids to the boardwalk by the beach. I fell in love with it and hope it touches your heart today as well.

Many of you have already seen my newest image called Daniel: God Bless America. In fact, I have had a few requests since he was created... one being to create a little girl in a similar image. Well, for the ones who suggested it, here you go! :) Meet Grace: God Bless America. ((I am working on a British version so be on the lookout for that too!))


These images are a part of a set called Grace and Daniel that will be released on July 6. These images in particular will be available for purchase in my shop on June 4th. June 2nd we are having a new image release and blog hop, so I have to add those first ;).

If you want to purchase either of these digis before then, please just leave me a comment or email me and we will work it out. BUT FIRST you still have today to try to win one of these for your very own!!! Just head over the the Freshly Brewed Challenge blog to find out all the ways you can get in on the fun!

Here is a card I created using little Miss Grace.

Crazy 4 Challenges has a fun challenge this week. It is to create a tent fold card. This one really got the best of me. I took it apart, glued, unglued and did all kinds of mess to make it work. It is still not what in envisioned, but still cute. I will give it another try one day. The DT sure did make it look easy!!! that is for sure ;).

God Bless America

Good Morning. I am so happy to share with you this new image I created called Daniel: God Bless America. He is my way of saying Thank you to all the servicemen and women who have fought and are fighting to keep our country free and safe. I have not enough words to say that can explain how much respect and love I have for them. I will not make this a long drawn out post. Here is the card I created using little Daniel. He will not be for sale in the shop until July when he is released with his little friend Grace. IF you would like to purchase him before then, just email me and we will work it out. BUT right now you have several chances to win him (or another image) just by commenting! GO HERE for all the details and for your chance.

Have a very blessed weekend.
