My pen pal Siobhan was having a CTMH party but unfortunately I couldn't get to Japan for it :). Instead, I did the next best thing - placed a mail order! It's been a while since I've gotten anything new from CTMH so I figured I was due.
One of the sets I picked up was Christmas themed so I figured I'd give the wreath a whirl. The wreath and the paper are from CTMH. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I went round and round on the layout. I kept trying to decide whether I needed another layer or some ribbon. I did add a bit of piercing underneath the sentiment although it doesn't really show up in the picture. In the end, I decided to, as Tim Gunn would say, edit myself rather than trying to go for too much.
Most of my cards are usually an A2 size but this one does top off at 5x7. I think that may have thrown me since I'm so used to working with the smaller size.
Schools were closed today so I had Meg and Conor with me all day. We went out to the pumpkin patch and picked up some pumpkins and hay for the front porch. Meg and I had a few creative differences but worked it out in the end so now we have pumpkins. Hopefully the squirrels will leave them alone!
Love your card! It radiates peace. Very soothing!
