Freshed Brewed Blog Hop

Heather the owner/designer of Fresh Brewed Designs digi stamps asked me if I would like to help out with her upcoming blog hop. I agreed, I really like a lot of the images she has come up with and couldn't wait to get the new images and get started. If you arrived from the super talented Kelly you are on the right course. If you have just dropped in from blogland and would like to hop along please start with the uber talented Carolyn. Once I saw this image I knew what I wanted to create. I decided to create a cocoa pkt holder. So I used the tea holder tutorial from SCS and made 4.5 inches tall so that the image would fit nicely and the cocoa pkt too. Once again I used all scraps, after going through and organizing all my papers I feel I really should use scraps whenever possible. I wanted to add a sentiment to the inside. I have a Hero Arts clear stamp Christmas set that has a cocoa sentiment. In my infinite wisdom (NOT) I cut apart the sentiment so it would be more versatile to use. So the "with" part of the sentiment is missing. Of course it's only four letters and pretty small. So imagine the inside says Cozy moments with warm cocoa.


Inside I colored Sweet Coffee Break with my prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. Bazzill cardstock and MME Christmas paper from last year are the scraps I used. Please hop on over to the wonderfully talented Grace and see what awesome creation(s) she has come up with using Fresh Brewed Designs new release!
Don't forget to stop at all blogs on this hop for a chance to win some awesome prizes!
