Sketch #237 Stitched Stockings and Lots of Joy

First, I just want to say a BIG warm welcome to my new blog follower 
 
Thank you for choosing to follow me.

I made this card for: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge
It's a LOT of pattern paper for me, but I really struggled with those diagonal stripes on the side.  I intended to use washi tape and go with a candy cane.  Well folks it just didn't look nice at all.  Then I moved onto ornaments, nope wasn't happening.  Finally these cute  Stitched Stockings from stampin up did the trick.  Along with the sentiment from Lots of Joy.  
I did make one other card for this challenge and so I'll post that as soon as I'm finished here.  I tend to get stuck on a design especially if it gives me a bit of trouble.  SO my desk is a loaded mess of papers, punches and inks,  what a Blessing.  
Thanks for stopping by.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
