Our fabulous sponsor this week is Fresh Brewed Designs!  The Grand Prize winner of this week's challenge will receive three digis of their choice from Fresh Brewed Designs - a terrific prize!  Now here's a little info about the owner, Heather, and the company...

I'm Heather Dennis, the artist and owner of Fresh Brewed Designs, but first and foremost I'm the wife of one amazing husband, mother of two sweet and talented kids.  I homeschool and LOVE coffee, creating and chatting with my friends.  Fresh Brewed Designs is an online shop that opened in November 2010.  We sell a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps as well as specialize in many coffee themed images. It started with a dream and turned into something bigger.  With the prodding of a very supportive husband, family and friends, with a lot of help and a lot of headaches :) and a lot of lessons and prayers...Fresh Brewed Designs has become a place to share, create, laugh and build lasting friendships.  

Our Motto:  Fresh Brewed Designs...where creativity is brewed fresh daily.
We always have a pot brewing, so stop by and join us for a cuppa whenever you want!

Thanks Heather! We love creating with your wonderful digi stamps!

And here's what the design team created for your inspiration using Fresh Brewed Designs images:

Happy St. Patrick's Day


Happy card making, Sweet Sketch Wednesday Followers. 
This is Arlana posting this week from Utah. 
We have had a touch of spring in my part of the world.....It sure beats the bad snow storm that we had last week when my sister Judi was visiting.  I sure am glad it's been more like spring for most of this week.  But I have heard we may have bad weather again on the weekend.
Do you realize it will be St. Patrick's Day on Saturday?  My how time flies...seems like it was just Christmas.
I have two daughters with birthdays this week. One of my daughter's birthday is on St.Patrick's Day. The other one is on the 14th. They were born three days under a year apart. I want to wish them both a very SWEET and Happy Birthday!!!


Well, let's get going.......

We have a fabulous sponsor this week.  "Tammy" from
A Day for Daisies

A DAY FOR DAISIES provides themed categories of over 1000 fun and whimsical digital images, including fairy tales and magical mermaids, cutie kids, vintage illustrations, sentiments and lovely designs for all occasions!
