Freshly Brewed Challenges _ CUTE!!!

It's time for a NEW Freshly Brewed Challenge!

Woop Woop! 

This week we want to see ALL THINGS CUTE!

Bring on the adorableness - we are ready! 

I chose to create with this little bundle of cuteness....

CUTIE BUG FLOATS DIGITAL STAMP

OK... soooooo doesn't this just make you smile?!?

We have had SO MUCH RAIN! 

I mean, I think the saying APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS

was written just for this very moment in time. 

We are most certainly going to have an abundance of flowers come May ;)

I kept this bright, fresh, and fun! 

All of these papers were found in my scrap pile. Even the teal blue.

I know that the purple is PTI and the textured teal is by American Craft.

The multi colored dot paper is also by AC, but I am not sure of the name. 

Scrap pile.... you know how that is. 

One last peek. The colored water is very sparkly IRL. 

I used some regular ol glue, painted it on and sprinkled on some

Martha Stewart loose crystal microfine glitter. 

I hope to see you playing along with us at our CUTE challenge

at Freshly Brewed Challenges. 

Have a VERY CREATIVE and BLESSED Day!

Happy Hello

Good Morning!

It's that time again! Time for a NEW Freshly Brewed Challenge! 

Woop Woop!

This week is all about the SKY!

I have had the 'SKY' Songs stuck in my head all week. 

I see Him coming in the sky!

Let the Heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad. 

Make a way for the King, the King is Coming!

All of those songs make me think of our soon coming King and

they make my heart rejoice and get excited at the thought of it!

I have to admit, it has been somewhat hectic around here the past few weeks. 

(when is it NOT hectic to be completely honest?)

So I found an already colored image that went with the theme and got to work!

I used the Digital Stamp: LADYBUG TEAPOT

The image was colored using an eclectic blend of markers :)

Sharpie, prismacolor, and copic to be exact. 

I used a marvy gel pen in white to draw the doodle dots

These papers are all unknown (UGH! I know!!!) 

I throw big pieces into my scrap pile sometimes, and this is what I get!

I used the sketch # 262 at Sweet Sunday Sketch for this little 'Sweet Tea'

I crack myself up sometimes :D

The FBDDT really created some ADORABLE cards this week!

Word Art Wednesday - 172 - John 15:9

Happy Wednesday Morning!

My kids are still down with the flu, 

and it is icy and icky outside...

I don't think any of us can take another TV / couch day... sigh. 

I have a happy, bright, and sunny project to share with you today.

I have had enough gloom and dark skies to last me a while, 

and HAD to create something cheerful. 

And what better way to lift your spirits than to think about much Jesus loves us!

The Word Art Wednesday Scripture (free for you >>HERE<<) is

 John 15:9

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you

continue ye in my love

CUTIE BUGS!!! New Digi Release at Fresh Brewed Designs

Good Morning!

I hope you have all had a wonderful, fun filled weekend. 

We spent some time at the water park with my family and had a lot of 

laughs and fun. It was really nice to de-stress and not worry about anything for a few days. 

I am so excited!

Today is THE DAY that we get to share our HUGE, NEW

Cutie Bug Collection with you!

There will NOT be a hop, but we will be having some fun games over at

our >> FACEBOOK EVENT << where you will have a chance to join in 

and win prizes! Doesn't that sound like fun?!? I think so!

I chose to create with the NEW Cutie Bug Luau Digital Stamp.

I printed this little dancer three times, and not until I did so did I decide that is how

I wanted them to appear on my card. Don't you LOVE when that happens?

Your whole creative outlook changes and your card is nothing like you had first planned :)

It's like magic :D

This card was created using the following items:

• White and Pink PTI Cardstock

WheeeeEeeeEeEEEeeee!!!

Today I have a cute little card to share with you. 

This card was created with the FBD Digital stamp Speedy Snail

This card was created for a friend who is being promoted to a Sargent position - she has been working in an office setting and is going back to shift work - so the sentiment 'on the road again' was just too funny for me to pass up! :D 

I wanted to keep the card base clean, so I chose to draw the lines around the card base,

 inside and out. I think it looks fun with the black and white twine, don't you?

This card was created for these challenges
