GDT-Christmas stocking

I'm sooo honored to be a guest designer for this week's challenge at Susie and Vikki's Christmas challenge-Stockings! I still don't feel worthy compared to all the great entries in their challenge.You will not believe that I was stumped on this one for a while!! First, I didn't have a stamp for this card, next I couldn't visualize a sketch. Usually, I don't even have to think about it. It just comes together as I work. So, I did make the stocking pieces myself, the grommet, laces and all. I got it all together and it still looked, well Blaaah! Then I decided to use my Inkadinkadoo Christmas set for the penguin and Santa and it looked much better. The papers are all from the Polar Expressions line from Imaginisce, as well as the sentiment. The snowflake punch is from my goddess: Martha Stewart. I don't care if I lose followers,um yah I do, -I just love everything she does, except her glitter glue-mine was a dud. Some people think she's a crook, but damn she's good! I'm also going to enter Cute Card Thursday's challenge (Make your own) That Stocking is an original!! I have to go pick up a huge B-day cake now. Enjoy the week-end gals. Happy blog-hopping at Prairie Fairy! T-Bear:)
