Before I get on with the blog hop I would like to let you know that all digis in the Whimsy Stamps store are being sold with 50% off for today only in celebration of World Cardmaking Day. How fab is that!!!
Now, back to the hop! We have lots of gorgeous new images to share with you today created by Crissy Armstrong, Raindrop Echo Designs, Natalie-Mooncookie, Kathy Kittmer and Lia Stampz. All Whimsy Stamps digital images are 300dpi for high print quality.You can re-size, flip, or rotate to fit your own project. To find all of today's new releases please visit the Whimsy Stamps Store.
Onto my DT piece, I have altered a blank kraft gift bag and tag. My image is by Chrissy Armstrong and called Christmas Cheer Deer. He is available to purchase here. Isn't he a cutie, he was a joy to colour. My tag has a Raindrop Echo sentiment on it, available to purchase as part of the Trimming the Tree set here. I love Ann's sentiments, so versatile and beautiful. I have added some 'jingle bells' to the tag for a bit of fun...
