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.

StampArt by Kathryne Christmas card

Hi Crafties,

How gorgeous is this little sweetie? I know I'm in love with all my digis I use lol but I've got to say she was just darling to colour and I love how she turned out. You can find her at Whimsy Stamps, she is created by the lovely Kathryne (StampArt Design by Kathryne) who has some beautiful images.
