Yarnaholic

I am not actually a yarnaholic...

coffee... glitter.... glue... paper... those things would be more likely. 

My mom and sister however are TOTAL YARNAHOLICS! 

My mom crochets and my sister knits. I never got into that form of

creating / crafting. I didn't have the patience ;-)

I created this card for the NEW FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGE

ICE CREAM!

I used the FBD Digital Stamp: Triple Scoop

and the sentiment is from the

Rubber Stamp Set: She Loves Yarn

I used the Splitcoaststampers sketch # 548 as my inspiration. 

This image was in my stash, already colored, so I am unsure 

which markers I used. I am pretty sure that I used skin copics, prismacolor markers, 

and a teal sharpie. 

The dp are from my stash. The kraft and white cardstock are from Papertrey Inc.

 UPCOMING RELEASE / HOP

PLEASE READ!

**As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer. 

She had a CT scan last week that showed it to be contained in her uterus. PRAISE GOD!

Her surgery is going to be on July 22. My friends and I have set up a fundraiser and digi release

in hopes to help relieve some of the stress of the medical expenses she will have and allow her to focus on getting better.

 I have set up a GIVEFORWARD fundraiser >>HERE<<

My friend Carolyn and I also have several special digital stamps in the shop 

All funds from the sale of these and ANY items in the shop will be given to my mom to help pay for anything she needs during this time.I know that many of us do not have money to give. Believe me. I understand. 

But if you believe in the healing power of prayer, then please pray. 

God is in control. He is working and he does hear our prayers!

Thank you all in advance for your prayers and for your support.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me today!

Hope to see you play along with us at Freshly Brewed Challenges. 

Have a blessed day!

Happy World Card Making Day Post #3

Hello everyone!

I have had a very busy day, but made sure I had time to create

for World Card Making Day!

I think this is one of the few ones I have actually been able to create for...

We left the house this morning at 9 am. 

I took my images and markers with me to dance while the kids 

rehearsed for the Nutcracker, and colored away!

After we got home (close to 1:30 pm) I cleaned up and waited 

on my in-laws to visit. AFTER they left I started dinner...

THEN I was able to create a few CAS cards while the sauce is simmering. 

(I am cooking homemade Beefaroni tonight. Yuumm!)

My first card features the 

Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp:

KNIT ME PRETTY

My sister knits and when we both first started our blogs, 

I helped her name hers. This was around 6 years ago?

Wow, where has the time gone?!? 

Anyway, I named hers I'll knit you my pretty and your little dog too!

We both love Wizard of OZ, so I found it to be very fitting for her :-)

When I was coloring this image, that is all I could think about, 

so I came home and created this sentiment to go with the image. :-)

I think my sister (Becky) would approve :-D

Challenges:

Fusion Card Challenge

**********************************************************

My next card showcases my new Christmas color combo obsession. 

I went to Hobby Lobby and saw their new ornament display... then saw this 

photo posted to their facebook page a week or so ago:

Um... LOVE!!!

Then I saw the challenge at DARING CARDMAKERS 

was hosting a challenge using these very colors! YAY!!!

For this card, I colored up my

Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp: 

HOT COCOA GIRL

Don't you just LOVE this color combo?!?

I know I do! :-)

Gettin Sketchy With It

Hi!!! 

I have two cards to share with you today. Both cards are featuring sketch challenges I have NEVER participated in as of yet ... so I am pretty proud of myself :)

The first is featuring the digital stamp: Triple Scoop

She LOVES her yarn I tell ya :-) I had a lot of fun with this card.

 There is just something about orange and pink that just makes me happy. :-)

SEE! orange + pink = Happy

She was given her card home thanks to the  Feeling Sketchy week 13 sketch

Next up is a card I created using the NEWLY RELEASED RUBBER STAMP

You+Me=BFF

The sentiment is hard to see. It says enjoy your day :) the sentiment stamp is from a small stampendous set

I took this stamp (which is actually two girls together) cut and removed her friend from her (mean I know)

and added this little chipboard button heart. I sometimes feel like when I use too many embellies that my card looks like a thrift store threw up on it. I am not good at adding lots of flowers and blingage and buttons and ribbons altogether like some people I know *cough* Sheryl (just to name one) But I do think this one flows pretty well. I had fun adding the YEARS old forgotten chipboard embellies. Hope you like it too :)

This card was created for the Seems a little Sketchy sketch #16

At Fresh Brewed Designs we are gearing up for some FUN!!!

We have a special brew of the month THIS MONDAY (July 1)!

Where has the time gone?!?!

Sorry I have been soooo quiet. Things have gone KABAMO over here. My mom and I have been hosting weekly craft classes with some friends and another homeschool mom and her children. My mom and I are participating in a craft show thingy :) called Mayfest. It will be our first craft show EVER.  I have been painting away and getting things made for us. She makes the most BEAUTIFUL things. I am trying to talk her into opening an online shop, but she does take orders via email.... so we are taking baby steps. SO when she does, WATCH OUT! Her creativity and mad crafty skillz will blow you away! She and I will be doing this together the day before mothers day, so I imagine we will be laughing, hot and ill, laughing and so on. We will not know what we are doing. Someone should hide and video tape us for sure :))

Well, I created a new digi for you. I  hope you like it. My mom and sister are YARN ADDICTS and they create the most beautiful things. I thought this would be fitting for them (and other yarn loving peeps) as it is getting closer to summer
Our challenge this week at Freshly Brewed Challenges is a Photo Inspiration Challenge

 and here is the card I made for you 

A NEW DIGI for those yarn loving divas!!!
TRIPLE SCOOP!

I also started sewing some coffee cozies. Check out my Etsy and my facebook page for them. I have some really cute ones I made for Mayfest that I will have available for special order. Look for those to be posted soon too :)) Be looking for the one that was sold ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/FreshBrewedCreations/sold ) to be popping up as a giveaway VERY SOON at Link Up For Pink!

My little girl  has her first show choir performance this weekend in which she will be wearing a beautiful (short and almost prom like) navy blue dress with a sweetheart top and sequins all over (mom in panic mode over here watching her look so grown up. She will be dancing and singing a short solo. I can't wait to see her! It will be so cute! 

That is it for me today.. Hopefully I will not let another week go past without commenting or posting :// 

BIG HUGS And LOTS OF LOVE!

Heather
