Hello!

I am back with yet another post. 

This is my second card for the NEW Freshly Brewed Challenges

Month Long Prize Challenge for February: HEARTS AND DOTS

Angel Cake flies a  Kite Digital Stamp 

and Hello rubber stamp sentiment

I went for a very light and springy feel for this card. 

The weather has been SO WONKY this year. One day we are 

freezing, the next (like today) it is warm and sunny and I can open some windows. 

Little Angle Cake loves it! She is happy to be out and about flying her kite.  ;)

   I used cloud diecuts from papertrey inc, DCWV spring fling, queen and co. pearls,

Crystal and Cotton Candy Stickles, lace from my scrap pile,

  prismacolor and copic markers.

This card is being entered into the following challenges:

All That Stickles (FBD is sponsoring)

Sweet Sunday Sketch 177 

Ribbon Carousel Challenge - Love Is In The Air

Cupcake Inspirations

A challenge and our LAST PEEK

It is Wednesday... and the FIRST Wednesday of September, so you know what that means!
It is time for our Freshly Brewed Challenges Month long Prize challenge!!!

WOOOOOHOOO!!

We are wanting to see those NEW things. You know you have purchased (or will this month :D) a new pack of paper, embellies or have been hoarding something NEW :D lol! IT is your turn to share them with is. Be kind though! We are already putting on our 'enabler' goggles and will be squinting at some cards :D lol...

Mine is pretty simple today. I guess I ran clean out of mojo juice getting ready for the hop *TOMORROW eeek*** and am now getting Hannah's sickies. UGH!!! But I still think it turned out cute.

Angel Cake Fall Wagon digital stamp

For this card I used Papertrey Inc Kraft Cardstock, Crate Paper Patterned paper: Restoration collection (semi new), prismacolor markers, glossy accents, stickles,  new buttons, and a new Martha Stewart Pumpkin Patch Punch. Just opened it last night to make this card with :D

Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby!

Good Morning~!

Do you like the title of this post? Don't get it? Let me fill you in :)

Remember back in the day when those singing fish hanging on walls were popluar with us people of the south? My Granny gave one to my son not so long ago. I hid it in his closet, and yes, he found it yesterday. That song will be stuck in my head for a very long time :D hahahahaha!!!

I have something fun and new to share with you today. 

This card is featuring one of Fresh Brewed Designs newest digital stamps.

Huckleberry Pie goes Fishing. Huck is one of Angel Cakes newest and best friends. Notice he took his halo off and has it on the back of the boat for safe keeping. 

Funny how coincidental that is right now. I was searching fishing quotes to leave you something cute and sweet to think about. All I found was goofy quotes about men and fishing and being liars and so on. 

this was actually the best one I found .. and even it is terrible...

Granted I did not look very long :D hahaha!!!

Good things come to those who bait.  ~Author Unknown

 and this one

Men and fish are alike.  They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.  ~Author Unknown

hahaha ~ that was just mean of me ;)

ANYWAY~ I created this card as a reminder of our Triple Play challenge this week at FBChallenges. The challenge ends tonight so hurry up and join in! My threes for this card are three diecuts: Scalloped lace circle Nestabilites and My Favorite Things Die-Namics wave diecut border cut four times and layered over the card. The background paper is scrap paper that I ran through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots folder. I colored this up with prismacolor markers and stamped the sentiment with a clear stamp by Rubber Soul.

This month I created a fresh and new Angel Cake for you. She is near and dear to my heart. Angel Cakes were one of the first designs / series of images created at Fresh Brewed Designs, inspired by a crafty project my mom used to create when I was a teenager.

I hope you will hop on over to the shop, take little Angel Cake home with you, and bring her back to visit in some challenges from time to time ;) While you are there, check out the NEW!! Hot out of the Press! (a bodum coffee press that is ;)! We have a few new summery digis that are sure to make you SMILE!!! We are also offering a fun product called Creative Inspirations Paints! These paints are AWESOME!!! and on almost every project I have made lately, with more to come :).

OK, OK, you don't have to pull my leg!!! I will share another card with you :D hehehehe!

this one is a newly released rubber stamp you will see again if you stop back for the hop Wednesday. The name of this stamp is Beach Bums :). Fresh Brewed Designs is sponsoring ICS this week and she was just dying to dazzle this card and bring it with the ICS Sketch. I always like to mix, flip and play with my sketches, but I kept this one pretty exact. I love Dawns sketches (and Dawn for that matter :D)
I colored her with prismacolor markers. I gave her a nice tan, a bright blue bikini and some pretty shimmery highlights. The Vacation sentiment is by Clearly Wordsworth, patterned paper is a mystery to me, cardstock by Papertrey Inc and to make her all shimmery and beautiful, I used Creative Inspirations Paints in Aquamarine (now for sale at Fresh Brewed Designs) and chocolate brown. I even painted up the flower!!! Challenges: Southern Girls Green & blue, Paper Crafting Journey : Bling, Totally Papercrafts: Glitter, Raise The Bar : Beach/seashells, Just Add Ink: Just add a flower, Stamping Vacation : popdot, square, floral paper; Sentimental Sundays - must include a Sentiment - For those Special Women in your life, Pile It On - Time to Travel, Crafty Hos' - Celebrate Strong, Influential Women,

Sweet Dreams (typing that made me yawn...)

Grumble Grumble _ GOOOOD MORNING :D

No, I have not had my coffee yet and yes last night was a late one... so I am pretty not so bright eyed and bushy tailed... but after my coffee magically brews (I take my happy little hiney in there and make it) I will be good to go :D I hope. Today is a long day at dance (5 hours) but it is the last of Dance Summer Intensive and Han has loved every minute of it, so we will be enjoying today as much as possible. It is only a few weeks until dance starts, but I suspect it will be a long few weeks for that little girl :/

Do you know what time it is? Time for another Freshly Brewed Challenge! That's what time it is!
This week we have a sketch for you to follow.

You can check out all the deets and the lovely DT card samples at the

Freshly Brewed Challenge blog

Here is the card I created for the challenge using
Sweet Dreams Angel CakeChallenges:
The pink Elephant: Brown
