Peace, Noel

*This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for my C.C. Designs preview*

I am guest designing for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog today. This week's challenge is to add some country charm with buttons and stitching. I put up my sewing machine in December to make room for house guests so I had to drag it out for today's card. I hope my husband doesn't see it sitting there. I'm afraid he might actually want me to do some mending with it!

I stamped the stocking image from the My Favorite Things Stitched Stockings with MFT Wild Cherry ink and then cut out with the matching die and attached to a circle shape. I stamped the heart image from the same set directly onto the card background using MFT Kraft ink and then placed the circle and stocking just under it and then anchored all with a button tied with hemptique cording. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip and inserted it just underneath the stocking and added two more buttons. I thought I was through at the point but after letting it sit for a while I decided it need a little something else. I added the cluster of elements in the top corner including the star image from the same stamp set as well as another sentiment and a button. All the paper came from the Bazzill Basics Nordic Pines pad from last year. 

Products: My Favorite Things stamps, cs, dies and ink, Bazzill Basics dp, PTI cs and buttons, Hemptique cord

That's it for today. Be sure to stop by the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog to see all the fabulous Design Team cards. I'll be back tomorrow with another C.C. Designs preview. Thanks for stopping by!
