CUPCAKE CUTIE

                                                          FRESH BREWED DESIGNS

 Rubber Stamp Release and Blog Hop for 2013!

If you didn't get to hop yesterday

please go to the

  Freshly Brewed Challenges Blog 

 to get started.

For my post today, I chose to feature the new stamp:

 Cherry Cupcake Cutie

For my card I used the sketch over at 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

my favorite sketch inspiration every week!

Our stamps have gone through a little transformation this year. 

They are STILL on the DEEPLY ETCHED, thick, gorgeous, made in the USA

red rubber ... but in designing the layout we took special care in making sure that we left

a lot more room between the images. This means you get a cleaner looking cut out and have more room

to trim around your stamp! We have added SENTIMENTS to some of our stamps this year! 

AND Our packing for the NEW stamps have changed as well.

As if that wasn't enough...

We also have something else that is NEW to share with you!!!

We have a NEWSLETTER now available for purchase. 

Stop by the shop and read more about it HERE. 

I hope you have enjoyed your time here at my blog. 

Have a very blessed and wonderful day!

Happy Monday!

I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you today.

Can anyone say "over commit"

YIKES

Thankfully I got them finished and I promise to 

ONLY share a few of them with you over the next couple of weeks.

I used this adorable digi from

This week at 

FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGES

we are celebrating our friends with a

FRIENDSHIP

challenge.  This is the perfect time to make a card for your BFF or BFF's if you have 

more than one!

I know I personally would have never made it through the last couple of years without

my girls!  Who I call my "in life bestest sistah" friend Yvonne,

and my

"on line" best girl friend ever, Heather.

I don't always tell them but they are both

blessings that I cherish!

Hope you can join us this week.

 My card isn't really this "bright" in real life, it is just cloudy here and I think
I "tweaked" my pic too much :( trying to make it not look so dark, and I am
just too lazy to fix it right now.

I used this sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch  for my card today.
Isn't it a cool sketch? I love it!

 

and here are just a couple of reminders for you all....

Thanks for stopping by!

I also made my card for the

FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGE

Be Still

Spring is in the air at

FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGES!

Heather has challenged us to make spring cards this week.

And since my printer decided to die a couple of weeks ago, I was panicking

looking for a spring image that I had already printed. Well I found this adorable little chick peeking

out of an egg, colored it up, matted it, then.....

as I tried to add "a touch" of glitter, my glue pen 

EXPLODED

all over my image!

ACKKKKKK!!!!!!

This just added to the stressed state I have been in since starting a new job a

couple of weeks ago. A new job in a completely new field that I am totally UN-experienced in.

So I have to LEARN everything. (I have no idea why they hired me, LOL)

Then peeking out of the corner of my folder that I keep printed digi's in I see the words

BE STILL

I took a deep breath, took a minute to thank God for blessing me with a new job

and 

for the opportunity to have this creative outlet on this wonderful design team.

BE STILL

I am so blessed.

BE STILL

Just Breath.

Do you ever forget to breath, catch yourself holding your breath? I always do this when I am stressed.

BE STILL

Everything will be alright.

For I know the PLANS I have for you says the LORD....

To give you

HOPE

and a 

FUTURE.

Jeremiah 29:11

BE STILL

Spring is all about NEW beginnings.

I Have been given a new beginning!

Thank you my Heavenly Father!

Thank you Heather for creating this beautiful image.

Fresh Brewed Designs is also sponsoring SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY this week!

Woo hoo, I love Arlana's sketches! I hope you can play with both challenges this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings and Hugs,

Stacy

New Rubber Hop

Welcome to FBD's March Rubber Stamp release and blog hop! If you are getting here from
Celeste's
blog then you are right on track! If not, please start off at our artist and designers blog
Heather's Coffee Break.

All around the country, it may seem like our calendars are deceiving us. It is only March but there is the growing feeling that SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! Here at
Fresh Brewed Designs we are getting spring fever!
We are itching to bring out our bicycles, picnic baskets, spring decor and walking shoes so we can fully enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Our Rubber Stamp Release for March is celebrating all of this as well. We are getting ready for planting gardens,  watching butterflies fluttering about, listening to bumblebees buzzing all around and hearing birds singing. We are celebrating all of the NEW things spring brings. Some of us like to decorate for spring holidays.  Others will be welcoming someone to the neighborhood or welcoming home a new little one. Whatever it is you are celebrating this spring, Fresh Brewed Designs has a stamp to help you create for it!

The new releases this month include Gardening Granny, Come and Knock on my Door, and Wreath Girl. They are each unique and so versatile! Our lovely door can be decorated for any of your needs. New home, new baby, Christmas, Easter, Halloween... you name it! Same goes for our lovely Wreath Girl. Granny is so fun and can be used for anything from serious to humorous. I love her funky style don't you?

Heather has another special deal for you this month. 

You can get this package deal during the hop for only $18!!!

The package includes all three just released stamps, one die cut and embossed piece of  Papertrey Inc card stock,  two 4x6 sheets of the double sided embossed i do Viburnums by American Craft paper , two 4x6 sheets of the double sided Heidi Grace Purple Houses paper, 10 clear dew drops, a variety of 6 buttons, 5 purple fabric flowers, and 4 feet of each color of twine.

 PLUS remember with each stamp you purchase you will get a bonus badge! Collect 5 bonus badges to earn 

 FREE STAMP!

Now, hop on over to Yolanda's blog to see what they have prepared for you!

Since we are talking about spring, we always know that there's always a chance for a spring shower
Just in case blogger decides to make mud puddles or cause us any trouble  during your hopping enjoyment,
we are attaching the hop order so you are able to SPRING right on through

EDITED: Because I have been asked, the cute garden paper you have seen on so many cards is COSMO CRICKET, Garden Variety, and I got it at eclectic paperie, where I get most all of my papers! It is a great on line store, with awesome customer service and FAST shipping!
