Tiddly Inks Christmas girl

Hi crafty friends!

How exciting to have reached 200 followers, I'm so happy, thank you to each and every one of you! I will have to work out how to do a Mr linky so I can give a prize away to one of you very soon.

Here's another card I created today using a Tiddly Inks Christmas image, I think she's adorable! I made the presents out of scraps left over and tied them with twine. I've also glittered up her fluffy white clothing parts.

Santa and Penguins Christmas card

Hi Crafty friends,

How gorgeous is this Di's Digis image, I don't often use Santa but this one is just the cutest I think I've ever seen! I glittered up their hats and other white fluffy parts. This is really so much cuter in real life, it was so difficult to take a photo of.
