Christmas Sweet Peek #3-Rhubarb

I don't know about you, but I am loving sweet little Rhubarb the Teddy Bear so I just had to design a new Rhubarb Christmas set. :)

Here's my sweet peek for today....


I decided to go with a less traditional color scheme for this Christmas card. We just got in these adorable papers from Bo Bunny called Sweet Tooth, which will be added to the store with our release next week. It was perfect for this gingerbread image, don't you think?? ;)

Check out the other DT creations by visiting the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.

See you tomorrow with another fun peek at one of our new Christmas sets :).

Need a little pick-me-up?

I sure did this week! We have Vacation Bible School (VBS) all this week and what a whirlwind week it's been! Between running kids to skit practice, a doctor appointment, various errands, Aston (my 13 year old) breaking his finger Tuesday night (which entailed two more doctor visits and a trip to the radiology center), PLUS VBS every night, I think I need more than just a LITTLE pick-me-up ;). Thankfully I know that the Lord never gives us more than we can handle with His help, so I am rejoicing in that truth, but I do look forward to a calmer week next week ;).

For my sweet Rhubarb card above, I followed this week's SCS sketch. I paired it up with some yummy papers by Echo Park (Victoria Gardens) & First Edition (Summer Breeze).

Thanks for popping by today. Sorry to have been so quiet, but I am sure you understand. Hopefully next week, I will have a bit more time for blogging and sharing :).

Have a fabulous weekend!

Rhubarb's Pie

No, not Rhubarb Pie...Rhubarb's Pie :).....Rhubarb does enjoy baking you know. In fact he loves baking for others to let them know how much he cares about them :). Just like in this card featuring our newest digi Rhubarb's Pie.


I am having a blast playing with these new papers I got by Kaiser Craft. Aren't they delicious? Just like Rhubarb's pie ;)?? I also thought I would experiment a bit with the speckled shadowing Copic technique. I am not sure I like it, but I do love the warm chocolate colors I used for Rhubarb :).

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a blessed Lord's Day!

Staying cool....

I guess one way to stay cool in this blistering heat is to play with winter images :)....


Rhubarb Builds a Snowbear is a great image to help me stay cool :). Don't you think?

I hope you'll join the rest of the Sugar Babies and play along with our sketch this week over at The Sweet Stop. It's a super easy one and lends well to most any image.

Thanks for stopping by today! Stay cool!!

Bzzzzzzz

Today's post is going to be short and sweet :).....


Have you seen this new Rhubarb digi, Rhubarb Honey Bee? I think it may be my favorite Rhubarb yet :).

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Rhubarb's Snowy Day

Yesterday Rhubarb was enjoying the fall weather and today he's playing in the snow! Boy, the seasons sure fly by in Rhubarb's world! ;) This sweet image called Rhubarb's Snowy Day was just released today.

SNSS DT Diva, Mary Marsh, is the color challenge hostess over at SCS today so I thought I would give her colors a try....I did have a tough time finding papers, but I think these work.

I realized after I colored the image that I got the shadowing wrong on the hat and scarf...lol....oh well!

Oh and did you see the fabulous new Echo Park Papers we added to the store today?? They are must haves for sure!!

I also added this fun new line which has just been released at CHA....it will be shipping mid-August :)!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Rhubarb is ready for fall!

Rhubarb is itching for Fall :)....so I have two Fall cards to share with you today :).

I LOVE fall....the sights, the scents, the textures :)....it's such a beautiful time of year :). This is our newest Rhubarb digi now available called Rhubarb's Punkins. Isn't he sweet?


Next up is this fun card featuring another new digi called Rhubarb's Sunflower. I love sunflowers...they make me smile. I hope this card makes you smile, too :).


I am also entering both cards in the Just 4 Fun Challenge over at The Connection. Jessica wants us to use twine this week. I LOVE twine, so that is no problem at all. :)

Thanks for visiting me today!

Rhubarb Santa

It's Saturday again so that means another fun sketch brought to you by The Sweet Stop.....BUT.....it's not just any Saturday, it's the third Saturday which means it's our Sketch with a Spin :)!! Play along for your chance to win 3 brand new Rhubarb digis (of your choice!).

Here's my sketch card for today featuring a sweet Rhubarb dressed as Santa.


I hope you'll grab the sketch and play along!

Rhubarb's Candycane

I sure hope you aren't getting tired of this little guy yet....there is more to come....he's been a busy little bear!

For my card today I used our newest Rhubarb digi, Rhubarb's Candycane. I also used Tami's awesome sketch from CPS this week.

I had fun with the twine and buttons on this one :). I hope you like it!

Have a great Friday!

Double the Rhubarb, Double the Fun

I have two sweet Rhubarb cards to share with you today....one I meant to share yesterday, but I ran out of day ;)....

First up, I'll share the card featuring today's Rhubarb release, Rhubarb Back to School.


The colors are so bold and vibrant, not my typical choices....in fact, I have had this paper left over from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper pad for a LONG time, because I am not really a fan....but it was perfect for a fun back to school card. Since I don't really have any "school" themed stamps I had to get creative with the sentiment. When going through my stamps I saw this sentiment (Just Be You) from the One of a Kind stamp set and thought it would be perfect for a back to school card :).

And here is yesterday's card featuring the adorable Rhubarb added to the site yesterday called Rhubarb Trims the Tree.


I had to dig for Christmas papers to make this one ;).....they have been put away for some time, but I found that I still had an Eskimo Kisses pad that I hadn't use much of, so it worked out perfectly, even though the Christmas ball colors don't quite match. I used this week's sketch over at SCS.

Thanks for stopping by today! I think we may be heading "back home" today to see my mom and grandparents. Summer will be over before we know it, so we need to get our visits in :).

Have a blessed day!

Pretty in Pink

I am having a blast with these new Rhubarb digis :)....he is such a sweetie! For this card I used the Rhubarb the Teddy Bear digi. We are having a contest on our Facebook Page using this image. Play along with us for a chance to win $15 to spend at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps :)!!

I decided to color Rhubarb pink and make a super girlie card time time. Yes, technically he is a boy, BUT I kept him neutral so you can make him a girl, too :). I drew the heart on his tummy and then punched out a smaller heart and added some glitter for more dimension. Don't you think he looks like a Care Bear now? How fun :)! I used to LOVE Care Bears when I was a little girl. I even won one for a writing contest in elementary school. It was a favorite toy of mine for a long time.

The sentiment is from our new Love is Like a Tree stamp set and the papers are just scraps I found in my scrap bin :). Using your left over scraps is a great way to make a fast card, don't you agree?

On a completely different subject, if you have a minute, I would greatly appreciate your prayers.....it has been a tough past few weeks.....with Dan's accident, traveling, a sick son, and then a few more unfortunate events that have popped up....needless to say, I am feeling a bit "heavy-laden". I know the Lord has everything is His hands and I am truly grateful for that fact, but I am also human, I grow weary....please pray that I stay strengthened by God's promises. I know this too shall pass, but it's hard to stay upbeat sometimes, ya know?

Thanks so much for visiting me today! May your day be filled with blessings!

Meet Rhubarb!

Happy Saturday!! Today's Sweet Stop sketch is up and you're gonna love it :)! Lots of room for creativity with this one!
