The Stockings Were Hung

At a trade show last spring, I found the cutest stamps by Riley and Company. They have the some really fun animals including this line of Riley the Moose
I colored the image with pencils then cut it out to hang on the mantle. The stocking is tacked up there with a brass brad. I added some Martha Stewart punched snowflakes to decorate the stocking and put some glitter glue on them for sparkle. The brick paper is from my stash. The mantle is a strip of scrap that I ran through Big Shot with a Sizzix wood folder. Then I sponged on some SU Chocolate Chip to bring out the grain. The sentiment is done via computer.
Inside I did a sentiment from my Hallmark home program and added a little holly accent.
The layout is the upside down sketch from Freshly Made Sketches

  2. That is such a cute little moose, Donna! Hope we see more cards with this image. You must have quite a stash of Christmas cards already. Sure wish I did, too, but they'll have to wait a while. We'll be traveling for 7 weeks starting the middle of next week.
