Happy 4th of July

Happy July 4th!

Today, as Americans, we celebrate

our Freedom and Independence!

Speaking of FREE!

It's a good day to visit the 

Fresh Brewed Designs Shop!

It's Monthly Mocha Manic Monday

and that means a FREEBIE!

But hurry over, because it's only available 

TODAY!!

And while you're there,

it's a great time to take advantage of the great sale!

The sale ends tomorrow night at midnight!

ALL digis in the kids section are 40% off
All handmade embellishments are 40% off
All unmounted rubber stamps are 30% off 

I used the Mocha Manic Freebie for my card today

and I have to say, I'm really happy with how it turned out!

There is a Month Long Challenge at the Fresh Brewed Designs

Group at the Latte Lounge!

The challenge this month is to use a sketch and any 2 embellishments

with a Fresh Brewed image.

I flipped the sketch over and made a "spit ball" flower

and a leafy swirl flourish for my two embellies.

The image is paper pieced and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

You're probably thinking, "EEW... a spit ball flower!?!"

I don't know what else to call them!

I punched a 1" scalloped flower 3 times

spritzed the pieces with water and rolled them up into little balls

(they look like spit balls).

After they're dried, unravel them, add a brad thru the center 

and they turn out really pretty!

Yep... spit ball flowers! Yum! (-;

Hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July!!
