New Releases at Fresh Brewed Designs
Hi my wonderful Followers!
Welcome to Fresh Brewed Designs
April Blog Hop and New Digi Release!
Your first hop stop is at Freshly Brewed Challenges.
If you have already visited and are
arriving
We are so happy
to have you visiting with us today.
We have been
waiting for this hop, and season change, for some time now!
Birds are singing, kids are riding
bikes around the neighborhood, pollen has covered everything,
bees are busy buzzing around newly
bloomed flowers ... SPRING IS HERE!
I have created this centre step card with one of the adorable new images from the Category called Daffodil and Daisy which is one of the new releases. The image has been coloured with H2O water colour pencils. The design papers and buttons are from my stash. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC. Please don't laugh at my amateurish attempt at chalking clouds. This was my first time, so I guess practice makes perfect.
I would love to try my hand at the following challenges with this creation:
Check this out!
You can purchase these digis as a set for a special
NEW RELEASE PRICE!
This deal, and the hop, ends on April 16th at 11:59 PM
Stop by the shop and get yours today!
Thank you so much for hopping with us today.
It is time for you to hop on over to my fellow DT member and friend
