Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop Today!

Today I am participating in my dear friend's blog hop for her digital stamp company Fresh Brewed Designs. When I got the images so much ran through my head. These new images can be used for so many things, not just cards. Unfortunately I only had time to make 2 cards. I plan to use more of the images to make recipe cards and scrapbook pages!

This image "One Tough Cookie" I made to give to a friend that is dieting. Inside the card I put "Stay Strong".


This second card I made with the "Want Fries With That Shake" image. As soon as I seen this one I thought of a birthday party at McDonalds. It would be a great image for invitations or scrap page of a burger party! Too cute!

If you have come to me first, you need to start this hop with MARY then follow the blogs to the end. There is a secret saying again for this hop and my word for you is THAT. Have fun checking out all the creations! Your next stop is HEATHER and you get the last word for your phrase and the email to send it to. And get on over to Heather's Shop to see all her fun designs!

A yummy suprise...

It has been a busy week over here. I am currently planning a birthday party for my daughter, trying to get crafts finished for a craft show that I am doing in April, spring cleaning for a garage sale at our local trade center, and then a sudden death of a dear family friend. We will miss you dearly Brian - love to his family and my best friend!

On a better note, I finally got to go see Alice in Wonderland. Even in crazy MadHatter get up, my boyfriend Johnny is so handsome! I really enjoyed this movie, it was pretty darn good! I ate WAY too much popcorn and soda though...I don't think I will weigh in tomorrow, lol! And that being said leads me to my title! Tomorrow there is some hopping to be had and it shall be yummilicious!! See you in the morning. Have a great night. Go to bed early to catch up on your time change! Goodnight all!

Sketchy Anya X 2!

I was hopping around in blog world over the weekend and ran across this fun sketch from Club Anya & Friends. I wanted to use the new free digi from TGF so I made the first card with her. The second card I made using a RAK'd image.

A Crafty Weekend!

I was able to get to my craft table and get a few projects done. The first one is a card I made for the Cute Critters group's sketch challenge. I used an image that was RAK'd to me by my friend Cass. This stamp is on my wish list from TGF! The second set of pictures is a chipboard album I put together. This was alot of fun!

Look Who's Three!!

I can't believe my little guy is now 3 years old! Time goes by too fast. Here are a few pics from his 3 year photo shoot!

A little Suprise...

I can not believe I forgot to post about this fun project I made my friend Shanon's suprise baby shower. I have seen these done and have wanted so badly to try. Here is my take on the Diaper Cake.

Blue, Orange, Green, and Brown?? Oh MY!

My good friend Cass challenged us this week over on CafeMom. She gave us this picture as our color inspiration for a card.....

This is the card I came up with. I really loved the colors together and may find myself using them again.

Sweet Sketch for a Wedding

I had a request for a wedding card so I used this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday to make it. I loved the layout of this sketch and knew it would be perfect for an easel card. I used my SU Blooming w/Happiness stamp set with miscellaneous card stock. I colored the image with my KohINoor pencils and OMS, then topped it off with Stickles, ribbon, and bling.
