Three stockings were hung.......  I used the Stitched Stocking Punch, Glitter and Frostwood Lodge Papers.  Add a few brads to hang the stockings and you are ready for Christmas Eve.  Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist and Chocolate Chip Card Stock used.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  An appropriate day to use Day of Gratitude.

Embossed Hello Doily











Concord Crush really makes this white embossed Hello Doily pop.  I must admit that embossing is not my favorite thing to do because I am simply not good at it.  I would like to be good at it because it is a beautiful look.  Speaking of look, don't look to close at this picture cause I really am not good at this.  :-)

Emboss Resist Day of Gratitude

The Stitched-Poly Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz is used to highlight this card I made using the Emboss Resist technique.  Day of Gratitude provides the leaves for this card of thanks.
