Suddenly, it's Christmas Release Time!

Hello, everyone! This is kind of sudden in the sense that it wasn't announced, but truth be told it's about time, don't you think? Allow me to announce...

The Stamping Bazaar's

Christmas Release - Part #1!

This first wave of Christmas designs may look familiar to you: they are slightly reworked versions of the designs I used on my own Christmas cards last year, before TSB existed. I decided to clean up, retouch them, and release them on the store.

BUT! This is not our "REAL" Christmas release. It's only to whet your appetite for a week or so, before our epic Christmas Blog Hop introduces FIVE BRAND NEW CHRISTMAS DIGIS! There'll be old friends coming back to the Bazaar, including Susie the Kangaroo, Bikkie the Platypus, and yes, even Marvin the Bat! And of course, there'll be new friends too.

THE EIGHT (8) DIGIS REVEALED BELOW CAN BE PURCHASED AS A SET!

Each digi costs the usual $4.00, but when you buy all of them together, they're only $25.00 --you save $7.00! This special price is only available for a LIMITED TIME so don't miss this great opportunity --click HERE to buy the entire set!

Now, without further ado, here are today's Christmas releases!

Duckling's Xmas Morning

(DIGI - Available here.)

Deer on Sled

Little Angel with Puppy

Our Design Team is SUPER BUSY crafting beautiful creations for our upcoming Christmas Blop Hop with the brand new designs I mentioned earlier, so I don't have as many samples featuring the above designs, but here are a couple of pretty ones anyway:

By Tina:

(Kitty Among Presents DIGI available here.)

Our second "wave" of Christmas digis will also be available as a discounted set. So stay tuned! ;D

Have a great weekend, everyone!
