Here's my one and only card for the day anyway! I think I might enter it in the Scrapbook Boutique's challenge this week!
The wreath was something I've been wanting to try forever and a day! There's a great video tutorial on how to do it here and its soooooo easy! It only took me a few minutes to make the actual wreath, but it was the decorating of it that I procrastinated over for far too long! I had pearls, buttons and ribbons everywhere over my desk until I finally settled on what your looking at! I drive myself nuts sometimes! lol
I hope you like this one. I haven't watermarked my card because in all honestly it just wouldn't fit, but if you do happen to CASE it (which I'm more than happy for anyone to do!) please be a sport, and give credit to my original design!
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Very pretty Karen!! I have seen a couple of wreaths like yours but have never gone to find out how they are made!! Makes a good use for that narrow ribbon! Love your colours - a nice change from traditional colours. Do you have webbed feet yet????

Hi Karen!
I loved your card so much after seeing it on Pinterest last night that I just had to try my hand at the braided ribbon wreath.
