The Stockings Were Hung...

Hello, my sweet friends!

I have a new project to share with you today! 

I have recently stepped down from a couple of my DTs and now I have some time for some extra fun.

I used this adorable image from StampArt Design by Kathryne.

It's called "Paddy's Christmas", and you can find it at Whimsy Stamps right HERE.

I started with this fun Shelf and Frames die that I've had for a while but not used.
You can't even see the shelf now because of all the greenery I added.
I guess that's how it actually goes when decorating for Christmas! ;o)
I filled the frames with my smallest Christmas stamps,
and then hung the stocking.
Finally, I added stickles to several areas and glossy accents on the candy cane.

This is a page to add to my December Daily.

It will fit in beautifully with the pages documenting our Christmas stockings.
