Christmas in the Black

Long before I discovered stamps I was a knitter and crocheter. I haven't done much for years, but started again this fall. I will be keeping it up, I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it, and the results.

I'm doing a Christmas stocking secret sister swap with a group on SplitcoastStampers. The gal that I sent to requested a black stocking, I couldn't find one at the store so I decided to make one. I fell in love with this yarn when I saw it in the store, it really turned out well. She's also a Twilight fan, so I altered a journal and pen set with a Twilight series theme. The journal is covered with black cardstock sprayed with glimmer mist, the rose, from Wild Rose (retired) is stamped on Shimmery White Cardstock and "Sparkle" from Warm Words (retired) is embossed in silver on it. I cheated on the pen, no stamping. It's covered in black cardstock with a rose sticker on it, then covered with Stampin' Up Micro Beads and Sticky Strip.

I still have more stamping and crocheting left to do, so back to Santa's workshop for me...
