Merry Monday Berry Wreath

Happy Merry Monday, friends.  Here's another fantastic challenge for this week.




And here's my card.



I had been wanting this wreath set (A Wreath for All Seasons) by Papertrey Ink for ages and finally gave in and bought it.  And it was so perfect for this challenge!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  A Wreath for All Seasons (PTI)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red
Paper: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
Other:  Circle Collection Framelits, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Snowburst EF, Real Red Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Corner Punch (EK Success)

Addicted to Stamps and More is having a HOLIDAY theme this week.  It can be any holiday.

Pixies Snippet Playground has all kinds of fun going on and since I have snippets, I'm headed over there.

Festive Friday is back with a brand new challenge for 2014 to use this photo as inspiration.



I have a snowy background, red berries and a touch of brown.  What a beautiful photo!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge says EMBOSS IT.  They didn't have to tell me twice.  Love those embossing folders!

Now check out the wonderful inspiration cards that the Design Team has come up with and join us at Merry Monday.  It's so much more fun to do those Christmas cards all year through and not wait until the last minute!

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
