Mrs. Claus

Here’s the cutest couple around!  Santa and Mrs. Claus!  I’ve had these done for a couple weeks and have been anxious to share them!  Aren’t they SWEET?  This makes 15 & 16 different looks using the arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies!

You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH, MICKEY MOUSE,  DRACULA, RUDOLPH, GRINCH & MAX, NUTCRACKER, and SCARECROW by clicking on their name.
