Sparkle and Shine Fresh Brewed Challenge #43

The new challenge at the

Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog

begins today!

I don’t know if you can tell by my photo, but the challenge is to create a project that:

SPARKLES AND SHINES

I used Heather’s Trademark Rubber Stamp: Coffee Take Me Away. Even my sentiment tag is sparkly!

This week, the sketch at “Mojo Monday” really inspired me and it seemed perfect for this image.

Speaking of feeling inspired, I have to tell you about the New Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Release Hop!

Please click HERE and sign up to join the party!

We’ll be chatting and creating during the party

and prizes will be given for projects

completed during the event!

Do you have what it takes to create and party

at the same time?

Mark your calendar, it’s going to be fun!

We’ll be hopping all weekend showing you all the new

Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber too!

I will be entering the following challenges this week:

Mojo Monday 187

Stamp with Fun #107

Digi Design House, Paper Piecing

MyGrafico Monday Feature: Stockberry Studio

This week at MyGrafico we are featuring an adorable set of digis from Stockberry Studio called "Stick Figure Easter Digital Stamps". You can grab the set HERE!
I chose to use bright and cheerful colors and papers. The MyGrafico DT has created some really inspirational projects with these images!
You have to jump over to the challenge blog to check them out! 
The challenge at MyGrafico runs all month and anyone can enter! The challenge them is ALWAYS "Anything Goes" and there are some terrific entries so far this month! Will yours be next?

Altogether, there are 10 images in the set! For only $4, it's a great value!

My little boy AJ saw my card and wanted to use a similar style for his entry in the Kid's Challenge at the Latte Lounge!


Here's AJ's project:

I am totally amazed with how far along he has come. He actually figured out how to make an easel card (he's 10 years old)! He used papers from the same pack I used and colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils. He also used the Bow Maker on my Crafter's Companion to tie the ribbon. And he liked how my dress was paper pieced, so I taught him how to do that this weekend!


You might recognize the flowers... I made them for my Fresh Brewed Designs card last week. He watched and decided to make his own. They are SO easy to make and they look PERFECT on his card!


Truth be told, I think his card this week is better than mine!!
