Squigglefly Has Free Digis!

I love FREE, don't you?  One of the companies a few of us work for is Squigglefly Designs.  They offer several free digi's, and their digi images in the store are very reasonable.  So, in celebration of Squigglefly, we are showcasing project made with their digi images!

Here's my project.  This is my granddaughter, who was very happy to wear a shirt that Grandma colored for her.  I love digis because you can do so much with them.  Here, I printed my digi onto iron-on transfer paper and ironed it onto one of her camis.  The image is called Daisy Bear by artist Diane Carubia.  One tip about this process--color heavily, as some of it gets lost in the transfer process.  Pat M.
