Fabulous idea using the stocking for the letter "j"...it is perfect! And of course you managed to make it plaid with a soft plaid in the background. Perfect Christine!

Love the stenciled plaid background and the adorable plaid stocking. Reminds me of my dad's sock he used to have. :) xx

The subtle grey stencilling si sublime and compliments the stocking beautifully. A pure CAS design, love it! xx

Simply beautiful. The Pinterest "P" is directly over the "o" in joy. I clicked on Pinterest to see the card in full!

Love the subtle plaid stencilling for the background! And the plaid stocking works perfectly as the "j" in "joy"!

Your lightly stenciled plaid in gray really sets off your lovely mix of plaid and red glitter on your sentiment Christine! So clever to use a little stocking for the J! xx

What a brilliant design Christine and I love the soft stencilling in the background and the 'j' looks great with a leftover piece of printed plaid and the 'o' and 'y' in that wonder red glitter paper. x

Oh my gosh. This is adorable. Love the double plaid, especially the lightly stenciling in the background.

Your softly stenciled background is so pretty, Christine! I love how you used plaid for one letter and that you substituted it with the stocking...so clever! Also, using red glitter paper for the remaining alphas was such a great idea...this is such a sweet Christmas card! xx

Cute, cute, CUTE!! Love how you used the stocking as your "J" for joy Christine...need to remember that!! Love the soft stenciled plaid background too! CAS and perfect card!! Hugs. :0)

WOW! How amazingly you combined checkered stencil with this beautiful sentiment. The use of plaid paper to create the letter J in the form of a sock is a very original idea and I must admit that I liked it very much. It's a brilliant idea, Christine.

This is so clever and cute, Christine! I never thought of using a plaid piece over plaid stenciled background. The softness of the stenciling is just the right touch, and what a cute plaid stocking!! AND I love the stoking makes "J"! This card will bring JOY to any receiver.
