Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps is having a Christmas in July blog hop – and their customers are invited to participate, too!  They’re celebrating big time with a special offer on their Christmas themed clear stamps, and they are even pre-releasing some new Christmas sets!  Check out the Sweet ‘n Sassy blog for all the details on this limited time offer.

Here’s what I created for this event.  I’ve used the digital image Rhubarb Santa with this week’s Sweet Stop sketch challenge layout.  Because I’m going to send this card to Operation Write Home, I wanted to keep it easy to mail, but I did add a little bit of dimension and texture by using Liquid Applique for the fluffy trim on Rhubarb’s hat.

Stay tuned for Friday’s post… the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge Design Team is joining in the fun with a blog hop to celebrate the new release of several Christmas digital images!  You won’t want to miss it!
