OK…really! Are you sick of seeing cards made with this Delicate Baubles Die yet? I think I need a 12 step program to back away from creating more characters! But…really…how could I NOT make a GRINCH, then decided he needed his sidekick, Max!
You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH, MICKEY MOUSE, DRACULA and RUDOLPH by clicking on those links!
