I love beautiful wreaths....Autumn ones, Christmas ones. To me a beautiful wreath is such a festive decoration. I received some beautiful new sets from There She Goes which included this beautiful Bountiful Blessings set. Perfect for autumn, and for American Thanksgiving coming up here shortly, so earlier this week I made a quick card with it.
I've colored this beautiful wreath up with Copic Markers to match a number of papers I put together from several packs, Basic Grey Indian Summer, Memento Tinsel and another pack I can't remember. I used the Mojo sketch from this week as well. I thought the large circle was a great match for the wreath.
I've woven some narrow satin ribbon through the two Lacey Circles which always looks so nice, and added some leaf accents around the sentiment. Simple yet elegant.
Well, gang....as I write this Wednesday night, I'm exhausted. Today I presented at an Administrators Symposium, was at the hospital and then did the kids after school thing and then to church tonight - though I just dropped our daughter off and came home. The week has taken it's toll on me so I'll be taking a couple of days off I think. I tried to be creative tonight and my brain is fried. Nothings working. My Dad is so far not getting a pacemaker, they want to try a new medication on him first, if it works it would eliminate him having to have surgery. So he's there a few more days at least.
