Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Christmas decorating and Christmas stockings go hand in hand. Whether you have children to fill those stockings for or not, those Christmas stockings hung with care add that finishing touch to your holiday decor. At my house, the stockings are the very last things to go up - then I know I'm done! Deb Felts is here today sharing a fun holiday scene she created with the clever use of various designer papers to create the illusion of a brick fireplace and chimney with a wood mantle decked out with garland and a stocking. Super cute idea and fun playing with pretty papers and dies!

Take a minute to just gaze and take it all in!
