Francis Mary is definitely in the holiday spirit!   She and Cornelius are off to deliver presents around the neighborhood by sled, dressed in traditional holiday colors of red for her and green for him.  This adorable tube is retired, but you can purchase other great holiday tubes at the official Francis Mary shop.

Below are some tag examples showing use of the tube.

Get ready for winter with Francis Mary (and Cornelius too!).  Our favorite pair are all bundled up for a day of winter fun that can include climbing hills, sledding, and of course snowball fights!  This tube is great for all those winter tagging needs, and their multicolored outfits create a great palette to work off of whether or not you like to use scrap kits in your designs.  You can purchase this tube at the official Francis Mary shop.

Below are some tag examples showing use of the tube.

If you love purple like Stormlight's mom loves purple, "Cat Black" by Lil Mz's Brainstorms is a kit that's the cat's meow.  This kit comes in a great palette of dark violet and royal purple, black and silver, with accents of off-white, gray and metallic green and contains 20 papers and over 130 elements that range from spooky to cute.  You can purchase this kit at S&CO.

Below are tag designs showing the use of the kit.






Casual, costumed or dressy, Francis Mary wears it all and wears it all well.  "Blue Dress" is a cute and casual tube of Francis Mary dressed in a dark violet and light blue panel gown and her signature stockings, accompanied by Cornelius the cat and her teddy.  Every pack comes with both tubes AND digital stamps, a great deal for a great price. You can purchase this tube at the official Francis Mary site.

Looking for cute tubes that aren't too cute?  You can't go wrong with Francis Mary.  "Purple" is a great everyday FM tube of Francis Mary wearing a short-sleeved dark purple gown and matching purple-striped stockings to match.  As always, faithful Cornelius sits by her side.  Goes great with a variety of purple and gothic-styled kits or go old school with no kit.  I used a great kit by Kittz Kreationz, which is retired.  You can purchase this tube at the official Francis Mary site.

Below are some tag examples showing the use of the tube.

So happy to announce that Kathy Cyr's adorable Francis Mary tubes are back up for grabs!  You can't go wrong with this cute blue-eyed girl and her feline sidekick Cornelius (who ever so patiently often permits his girl to dress him to match her for the occasion at hand!).  Get a head start on your fall and Halloween designs with this cute tube of Francis Mary and Cornelius sitting on a crescent moon - goes great with a wide variety of kits or even go old school and tag her with no kit.  You can purchase this tube at the official Francis Mary site.

Below are some tag examples showing the use of the tube.
