Stocking Tag Pocket~Scraps Of Elegance December Kit~Mistletoe Memories

Happy Holidays!!

Today, I have a Stocking shaped tag holder that I created with the Scraps Of Elegance December Kit~Mistletoe Memories to share with you. It would make a wonderful Christmas Gift topper, card or could even be hung in your garlands as decoration. I have included the template I created using a photo from one of my son's old coloring books. You can just resize it to fit your project ;)  The stocking size that I used for my project was 5 1/2 x 7. 

I traced my template onto the kit paper, creating a front an back side. I then glued just the edges, leaving the top side open for my tags. I distressed and inked the edges then stamped with a script stamp. I then pleated some stash lace and added it to the top. I then added flowers from the kit, past kits and a Prima resin piece that I added Inka Gold to the edges on.

I hand stamped some tags with a swirl pattern, then with a script pattern, added some hand dyed seam binding, trim from the kit and little metal bells.

Here is the back side!!

And now for a little treat from my kitchen to yours:

My family loves these yummy Chocolate Coated Cooke Drops. They are actually my son, Draven's favorite,  and I make them every year for him.. They are super easy, and super delicious!! Here is the recipe so that you can share this tradition with your family:

Filling:

1-12 oz Package Of Oreos Cookies ( I prefer organic so I use Newman's Own version)

1-8 oz Package Of Your Favorite Cream Cheese

In a Food Processor Chop The Full Package Of Cookies Into Fine Crumbs.

Blend Cookie Crumbs And Cream Cheese Together.

Place In Refrigerator To Chill (At Least 1 Hour).

Coating:

1-Cup Of Ghiradelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1-TBSP Vegetable Shortening

Microwave Chocolate Chips And Shortening For 1 Minute-Stir

Keep Microwaving At 15 Second Intervals Then Stirring Until Chocolate Is Smooth

Now Roll The Cookie Crumb Mixture Into 1 Inch Balls

Drop Each Ball Into The Chocolate, Coat Evenly, Remove Onto Wax Paper

Refrigerate To Set Chocolate
