And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose. . Romans 8:28

truth

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 / KJV
Jesus is our soon coming King
James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."

Summer

Cordelia in the Sand Rubber Stamp + Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint

Last Days of Summer

by Ellen Ni Bheachain

Whatever the way the summer days end,
In the type of summer is how it has been,
Whether a good one or bad one,
The last days of summer,
Can be sad or happy endings,
As each season ends,
With another one beginning,

The summer could have been,
Miserable yet,
Sun scorching us everyday,
And sunlight shining on all our faces,
It is how it is,
Out there where all is seen,
In,
Summer days of fun,
Summer days of love,
Summer days of seeing,
Summer days of been,
Out and about where summer is,

And when summer came and went?
With a mundane feeling that it left?
Was the last days of summer,
And the begining of another,
Autumn as we know it,
Fall in other places,
Where the ending of one season shows,
By the decaying of it,
When Autumn Fall shows,

Where we will wrap up and snuggle,
With warm cuppas drinks,
With a book,
Or,
Catch up on watching films,
Yet,
Still,
Musing over the summer days,
Of sunshine memories,

Now,
Warm hats and gloves,
With rustle leaves,
That rustle beneath,
Our feet as we walk,
Through the park,
And see,
The summer leaves turn,
To autumn shades,
Taking in,
The last days of summer,

Reflecting,
And remember,
The falls of Autumn's,
Is the signs of summer,
That has ended,
And minglings with,
All that falls,
From the summer ending,
To autumn beginnings,
Is the,
Decaying,
Of summer,
To regrow itself,
For next season's of summer,
When it begins again,

Yet,
In between,
There's,
Autumn,
Winter,
Spring,
Till,
Again,
Last days of summer,
And all in bloom again.











Cordelia in the Sand Rubber Stamp + Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint
I know that poem was sortof long. I skimmed through several, but this one stuck with me :)
I hope you enjoyed reading over it. I really thought it fit this card. The colors, while still beach themed, remind me of the first of autumn with all of the golden hues.

I stamped my mermaid on PTI cardstock, colored her with prismacolor markers, and painted over her with Fairy Dust Inspirations paint. While the paint was still wet, I poured extra fine glitter by Martha Stewart over the entire image to give it a brilliant shimmer. Almost as if the sea spray is all around her glimmering in the evening sun.



this card was created for the following challenges
Eat Sleep Stamp Sketch 
Creative Inspirations Paint: Lots of layers
Cupcake Inspiratons: colors
Fashionable Stamping Challenge: Ribbon or lace
Pile it on: Girls just want to have fun

Friend, you're one of a kind!!!

**Scroll to the next post for NEWS about a newly released set of FBD digis**




Hello everyone!
I am here today with another FUN and HAPPY card. I am excited to share this one with you because it is the first time I have inked up this rubber stamp!!! This stamp is one of my designs found at Fresh Brewed Designs. She is called Marina: One of a Kind. when I was coloring her up, my daughter said "MOM! Why are you making this a gothic mermaid?!?" I had to laugh, then told her I wasn't and she would have to wait and see it. lol!!! I found this assorted paper stack of approx. 25 sheets of heidi grace paper at Tuesday Morning for a mere $5 months ago. I finally made myself break it out and use it. The lace is from a set found at Carolyn's Cards and Things. I colored her with prismacolor markers and fairy dust and tickled pink inspirations paints that I sell in the shop for $2.15 a tub! I LOVE these paints. They are so super fun and add an extra touch of shimmer to EVERYTHING :)!!! I painted her hair, fin, and the seashell with these paints.

Here is a side view of the card to show some shimmer
(must click on the images to see details and shimmer more clearly)and here is a close up of the sea shell so you can REALLY see the shimmer

Aloha! It's time for a FBD Rubber Stamp Hop!!!

Partying and laughing in the sun
Waves rise and crash as the children run.
Girls in bikinis, a lemonade stand,
Wiggling our toes in the sand.

Summer is most fun; you'll see,
We get to play and be carefree.
Dreaming of mermaids and magical things,
We close our eyes as the ocean sings.

Sand, sun, ocean, fun;
Thank goodness Summer has just begun!


Aloha!!!

sketch, Creative Inspirations - 2W - use a Digi, Crafty Emma inspiration photo, Fashionista Friday - #77: Things with wings,

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!!!
