Good Morning Sistahs!
I hope each and every one of you had a very Happy Thanksgiving! I spent my time in Arizona, with the intention of taking care of my mother, however, I ended up getting sick sick sick and wasn't able to help out much at all. *sigh I couldn't even eat any Turkey. *double sigh But...I did get to spend time with my family and got to meet my newest nephew Sebastian. *yay!
With November coming to an end, I figured I'd better get a few Holiday cards made. I have enough stashed away from previous years to be able to send some out to family and friends, but it's always nice to have some "fancier" ones on hand just in case. For today's creation I decided to create a candy wreath.
I stamped the candies from the Multi Step Build A Garland using: Step 1: Pink Pirouette, Step 2: Memento Lady Bug, Step 3: Memento Rhubarb Stalk. Next I stamped the bow and the sentiment from the set 3 Step Holly & Mistletoe using: Step 1: Certainly Celery, Step 2: Wild Wasabi, Step 3: Garden Green.
To form the wreath I used two circle Nestabilities that fit exactly within each other and cut out a ring. Then I fussy cut each of the peppermints and glued them down to the ring. Once they were all placed I added the bow, then my favorite embellishment....Glossy Accents. Woo Hoo! I love the shine it gives.
Now it's time to check out what the rest of the crew has created for you!

You are so dedicated to the craft. I have been told I have an incredible amount of patience, but I never would have enough to cut all those out. I would have gone mad. It looks fantastic and certainly worth the time. Glad you are back home, hope you get back on your feet soon.
