Stockings For My Fur Babies

Good morning, it's the first day of Winter and it certainly feels like it too!
Today i am sharing my stockings for my 2 fur babies Pip and Nutty, it's their first Christmas.
I transferred their photo's of them wearing a Santa hat, diecut their names using my Tim Holtz 'Vintage Market' letters die and added a grosgrain spotty bow.


Pip's stocking ( He's the dwarf lionhead ), think one of his parents must have been a giant, lol.
Nutty's stocking ( she's the dwarf lop eared rabbit ) definitely a dwarf.
