FBD March Rubber Stamp Release & Blog Hop! :)

Welcome to FBD's March Rubber Stamp release and blog hop! If you are getting here from Rhonda's blog then you are right on track! If not, please start off at our artist and designers blog Heather's Coffee Break.

All around the country, it may seem like our calendars are deceiving us. It is only March but there is the growing feeling that SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! Here at Fresh Brewed Designs we are getting spring fever! We are itching to bring out our bicycles, picnic baskets, spring decor and walking shoes so we can fully enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Our Rubber Stamp Release for March is celebrating all of this as well. We are getting ready for planting gardens, watching butterflies fluttering about, listening to bumblebees buzzing all around and hearing birds singing. We are celebrating all of the NEW things spring brings. Some of us like to decorate for spring holidays. Others will be welcoming someone to the neighborhood or welcoming home a new little one. Whatever it is you are celebrating this spring, Fresh Brewed Designs has a stamp to help you create for it!
The new releases this month include Gardening Granny, Come and Knock on my Door, and Wreath Girl. They are each unique and so versatile! Our lovely door can be decorated for any of your needs. New home, new baby, Christmas, Easter, Halloween... you name it! Same goes for our lovely Wreath Girl. Granny is so fun and can be used for anything from serious to humorous. I love her funky style don't you?
I chose to create with Gardening Granny AND Come Knock on my Door for this release:




I decided to do an easel card which helps display my little scene. :)  I used copics, colored pencils, chalk, and lots of paper piecing. The fence is Jolee's.

Here's a close up (all photos will enlarge if you click on them):

The sentiment is "Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years" and was provided by Yolie (thanks, Yolie!); you can find it and some others HERE.
