Twas the night before Christmas....

.....I have a confession to make...I'm 31 years old and I still have a stocking! In fact I have two! One from my mum and one from my boyfriend! I remember the excitment of going to bed on Christmas eve as a child, trying to fall asleep so that Father Christmas would visit! Even better was waking up in the morning to find a stocking full of presents!

This week's challenge over at Allsorts is "Twas the night before Christmas", where they want to see projects inspired by the poem. I've taken the following line to inspire my card: The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

I've created a little chimney scene from paper!

I used green and brown backing paper to create my base, I then used stiff brown create the chimney breast and there is a little black mantle piece too! I've decorated my chimney with a mini rudolph banner and the all important stockings! I then decided I needed something on my mantle piece and made two mini Christmas cards, complete with sentiment! This was a time consuming project (and fiddly!), but I'm really pleased with the final card

This card is also for this week's challenge over at Bah! Humbug! Their theme is fancy folds and I've used some folds (not that fancy)  to create my 3D chimney breast. Here is a side shot of the Chimney:

Thanks for stopping by today,
