FBD Month Long Prize Challenge - Anything Goes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope that all of you enjoyed your holidays!

I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas!

It was so nice to spend some time with all of our loved ones

and count our many blessings.

I actually had to clean out my craft room before 

I could get in there 

to craft again!  

The holiday season was so very busy around here

and my room was filled with shipping boxes,

 wrapping paper, bows 

and anything else that needed to be tucked away!  

When I finally got in there, I had so much fun creating again!

Fresh Brewed Designs will now be
having one month long prize challenge.
(No more weekly challenges)
You will have the whole month to join in on the fun!
We will be sharing lots of fun and creative cards and projects
with all of you with special DT features on Wednesday's
and throughout the week!

This Month's Prize Challenge at

Fresh Brewed Designs!
is

ANYTHING GOES

I decided to make a

Diagonal Double Pocket Card

showcasing

Fresh Brewed Designs

CUTIE PIE ICE SKATING 

rubber stamp

I followed the directions on the tutorial and then I adhered the

double pocket card to the front of  a

6" x 4 1/2" card so that I could add a journal section to the inside.

I made this for a sweet little girl who's younger brother comes to my

preschool.  She is so very sweet and thoughtful and 

she is always surprising me with

pretty pictures and cards that she makes special for me!

I wanted to surprise her with something special and she loves

Ice Skating.  

I couldn't think of a more perfect image for her than the

adorable

Cutie Pie Ice Skating!

Recipe

Fresh Brewed Designs   Cutie Pie Ice Skating rubber stamp

colored with copics 

I used liquid pearls for the fur trim on her coat and skates.

I used crystal effects and Martha Stewart sugar on the wings.

I cut Cutie Pie out and used Stampin Up labels die cut to place her on.

The fun design paper is my new echo park  (Life Is Good)

The paper pack came with the fun stickers that I used on the tags

and the inside of my card.

I made the tags with Sizzix  Tags, scallop combo #2 die

The lacy heart is a Cheery Lynn Designs die cut

The snowflakes, pearls and rinestones are from Recollections

You will find lots of talent and DT inspiration 

when you pop on 

over to

We hope that you can join in on the fun!

Hello and Happy Friday!

preparation for the holidays!  

I myself am trying not to panic as I am more than a little behind!

We have a fun new challenge at

Fussy and Fancy 

for you to join!

TAGS & BANNERS

For my DT project I chose to make a 

pretty stocking tag and package topper!

I used the Stampin Up Christmas stocking die cut

and the snowman stamp is in their, "Jolly Old Saint Nick" stamp set.

The glitter cardstock, holly embellishment, bells, 

ribbon and DP are all from Stampin Up as well.

I colored the snowman with my copics and used

crystal effects on him along with Martha Stewart 

white sugar for the snow.

for those family members who live far away.

truly appreciate a Blizzard!  LOL!

FBD November Blog Hop and Blog Candy! Come Hop With Us!

Good Morning!

Welcome to Fresh Brewed Designs LAST rubber stamp release and blog hop for 2012!

We are so excited to have you sharing in this fun event with us!

If you are just arriving here, please go to the start of the hop at Freshly Brewed Challenges.

If you are coming from Yolanda's blog, then you are right on track!

There is just something about this time of year that makes me happy.

All of the worries and stresses seem to fade away as we spend time with those we love.

We get to bake and fill our homes with wonderful smells, make lasting memories, share

love and smiles with others, some of whom we may never even meet. It is a very loving and

selfless time of year. This release reflects some of those things. Hannah Belle brings in the

joy of baking, cooking, sharing times with our kids, laughing, making messes, and lots of smiling.

Our Love Bird Owls draw us closer together. Keeping warm together on a cool night.

Sharing our hearts with those around us.

For my project I chose to make a Christmas card using

Hannah Belle Cooks

I love this stamp!  

She is the perfect all occasion stamp!

Birthday's, Holidays and Just Because Cards!

I love how she is sticking her little tongue out while

she stirs the batter!  He he he!

The adorable candy cane charm and pretty holiday twine

that I used

are just a couple of treats you will find in the 

Blog Hop Candy prize!

For the duration of this hop ONLY, you can get both cling mounted stamps for just $10.50!!!
