Wreath For the Season

I enjoy a wreath for any season but when it comes to winter and the holidays I get a little weak in the knees for a Christmas wreath! So many styles to choose from fresh to artificial. 

An everlasting circle of evergreens and berries is top of the list and today I have a stenciled card with tons of character and sparkle! 

There is another reason for my blog post today that will open up more ideas with Stampendous holiday stamps and more. Stop by their blog from Monday, Wednesday AND today for inspirational Christmas projects!
