For a Gracious Hostess

I tried Lauren's My Timeless Templates for the first time, and I'm so glad that I did! Since I had so much fun with this free one, I went ahead and purchased two more! I can't wait to play with them for some of my Christmas gifties - and I need to be working on them, like NOW! LOL

For this Stocking Stuffer, though, I used some AC paper and Real Red cardstock. The white "ribbon" is an idea that I got from Melissa Phillips. I just Cuttlebugged the red pieces, added some faux stitching, AC ribbon, and a little Cuttlebug tag with a PTI sentiment from Mixed Messages. I used my markers to ink it up in the different colors.I also had to make a little card to go with it, using another aDORable TCP image, colored with Copics. The sketch is one of Beate's more recent ones. I needed something quick and cute, and I think it did the trick! The cardstock is Glorious Green - my least favorite color in every month BUT December! :)

There is a tiny piece of thread on that penguin on the right - bugs me, but I'm not retaking the pic! LOL I filled the stocking with these little "present" chocolates. I'm heading out to a cookie party tonight, and I hope that Sherree likes her little giftie!

Come back tomorrow, because I'll have something for ya! Till later...

xox,
