Hi there friends and Happy Wednesday!!  Time for a new Sketch Challenge AND it's the last Wednesday of the month which means it's time for an added TWIST!!  Do we have any Coffee Lovers out there???  I know I love my coffee - well, later this week on the 29th, here in the US it's National Coffee Day!!  So, we here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 are celebrating with our friend Heather of Fresh Brewed Designs!!  Heather is our Sponsor this week and has many wonderful coffee related images as well as so many others - you must stop by her shop and check them out!!

Our TWIST is:   Incorporate something to do with Coffee, be it the digi, the color...  the sentiment...  Think Coffee!!

Here's a little bit about Heather, in her own words...

Hello, I am Heather Dennis, the Owner and Artist at Fresh Brewed Designs.  I love to do all I can to put God first in my life.  I am so blessed beyond all I deserve.  I have an amazing husband who supports and loves me more than anything.  We lead praise and worship together in church.  I love hearing him sing.  I home school two of the best kids in the world.  They are my heart.  I can't even describe how much they mean to me.

I love all things crafty.  I have been crafting and creating since as early as I can remember.

Here is a little about our shop:

Fresh Brewed Designs is a small online company that has been offering a wide variety of digital and rubber stamps since November, 2010 designed to meet the needs of paper crafting addicts everywhere!  With over 30 categories to choose from and new additions each month, our range of products is expanding all the time.

We would love for you to visit our blog and facebook pagewhere fresh ideas are always percolating.   We also have Challenges and would love to have you play along!!

On to this week's Challenge...  We are so glad you stopped by to see us, you always thrill us with your creativity and we can not wait to see your "TWISTed" creations (coffee, coffee, coffee).
