My FBD September Blog Hop Card

Welcome to September's Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop!

This is Fresh Brewed Design's Biggest Blog Hop of the year. They have invited several guests to join in on the fun, and I get to be one of them (actually, I invited myself- LOL)!

If you are just arriving here, then you need to start at the beginning and go to the Freshly Brewed Challenge Blog. If you are getting here from Marji's blog then you are right on track!

The Hop this month includes ANY AND ALL previously released FBD rubber stamps! You will see a variety of stamps from 2010 - 2012 all done up pretty from many talented crafters.

The card I created for you features the FBD Rubber Stamp Baby Bump.


I used papers from my scrap bin so I am not sure who made them but my card base is SU! and I am pretty sure the dp on the flower is some retired dp from SU! It is double sided and I love how it looks on my crumpled flower - sponging the underside of the scallops would give the same look. I colored my image with Copics and paper pieced the dress with a bit of my scrap dp. I love how this came out - I plan to make some different versions of it in the future.

Stop by the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop to check out the GREAT DEALS
being offered for this hop and be sure to comment on all of the stops for your chance to win the blog hop prize package!

I am giving away some extra surprise blog candy to one lucky commenter on this post as well. To win my blog candy, you need to make a comment on my post and be one of my followers (be sure to join if you aren't one already).

Thank you for stopping by!

Your NEXT stop is at Ester's Blog.

I am also entering this card in the Simply Create Linky Party#2 and the Pile It On Challenge #37-Patterned Paper.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...
