Merry Christmas ya'll!

I opened all my presents yesterday, and it was so cool to see that my friends know me well... the presents were practically color coded in sweet, sweet RED. Haha. Thanks guys! I luv ya!

Now... gift time!! I wouldv'e done this earlier, but I woke up real late. As usual.



Okay, first off. These are the links to my friends gifts, to save them a bit of time.

All these are composed of 35% dodge tool, 35% burn tool, 15% brush tool and 10% pen tool. After I learned of the dodge tool from a glow tutorial I couldn't stop using it, or its counterpart. ^^ Hope you like the gifts guys!
