46 Weeks Until Christmas 2015

While looking through the pocket cards on the Cricut® Artfully Sent cartridge to work on an idea for the Operation Smile You're The Bomb blog hop (coming up tomorrow) I saw the wreath pocket card and decided to work on a card for this countdown to Christmas post.

Creating the poinsettia was inspired by Patricia Manhire. You will find her Poinsettia Flower tutorial here.

This was my "test" creation. When trying something new I like to use products from my stash just in case I am unhappy with the results. I planned to recreate this using CTMH products, but I have run out of time (Thursday night) and have to be on the road early tomorrow.
