Joy Wreath

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this first day of November. 

I can't believe I am saying November already. We are coming into my favorite holidays. First Thanksgiving and then Christmas. 

I usually have a big crowd at my home for Thanksgiving but this year things are a bit different. My 93-year-old Mother-in-law doesn't want to leave the house anymore. So, my sister-in-law will be having dinner there. Mom lives with her. My son and daughter-in-law are with her family this year. We share holidays. So, I am not sure what we will be doing. 

Now onto my card for today. this one I created for CC900 on Splitcoaststampers. I was one of the hostesses and for my color trio I chose cherry cobbler, shaded spruce and gold. Optional was to make it a Christmas card. I love red & green for traditional Christmas cards. 

For my card I used the CottageCutz Joy Snowman die to create my Christmas card. It's retired and out of stock right now. I had the die in my collection from 2020 so not sure if it will come back into stock. I used the CottageCutz "wide rectangle frame" die to frame the wreath. This one is also retired and out of stock.  

My background designer paper is from the Stampin'-Up "wrapped in plaid" collection.I also used designer paper on the wreath holly leaves to get a different color gradient. This paper is from the Stampin' Up "pretty prints" collection. 

To complete my card, I scattered a few gold sequins.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless.
