Fresh Brewed Designs "Summer Fun" Blog Hop:)

Partying and laughing in the sun

Waves rise and crash as the children run.

Girls in bikinis, a lemonade stand,

Wiggling our toes in the sand.

Summer is most fun; you'll see,

We get to play and be carefree.

Dreaming of mermaids and magical things,

We close our eyes as the ocean sings.

Sand, sun, ocean, fun;

Thank goodness Summer has just begun!

Aloha!!! Welcome to the Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop! If you are getting here from the SUHweet, Sandcastle Stamper, Kelly's SUNsational blog you are on the right track. If not, please go back to the start of our hop at beach babe Linda's beautiful blog.

We are getting a head start on SUMMER FUN here at Fresh Brewed Designs! This hop will be featuring the new summer themed Rubber Stamps just released to the shop. Heather has created 8 super sassy, sweet and fun beach themed rubber stamps that are a MUST for all of your summer crafting needs! But no, she did not stop there! She has also created 5 adorable summer themed digis. Join us in welcoming Baby Ellie, Baby Elvis, Daisy and Scooter Elephant to the FBD family. I know that all of these things bring the cuteness meter to the tippy top, but we are taking it one step further...Heather has added beautiful, shimmery, fun and AWESOME Creative Inspirations Paints to her shop!!! YES!!! These paints are amazing! You can find three colors in her shop: Tickled Pink (the perfect summer pink!) Aquamarine (Beautiful bright ocean blue) and Fairy Dust (a MUST HAVE because it goes with EVERYTHING!!!)

Along the hop you will see many of these items, so sit back and be prepared for all the complete cuteness that awaits you. For this release, I created with three of the fabulous images from this awesome, new collection.
