Hello!
Happy Wednesday! It's September! How did that happen? I swear it was June a minute ago! My oldest started back in his second year at university this week and my youngest started Grade 12 today! I swear I blinked and they went from babies to adults! It's insane! If you're a mom or a grandma I am sure you know exactly what I mean! We are just coming off of a week vacation as well so I'm really not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. It's been a lovely summer working reduced hours.

We have a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is the amazing Cecile Ribon! Make sure you head over to her blog and check out all of her fantastic cards!
I had this new Spellbinders die set sitting there just waiting to be used and what could be more perfect for a circle than a wreath? I love fall and love making fall cards so I was pretty excited to use this set. My wreath is a little oblong but I couldn't get it to look round and finally just gave up!!! I added in some fall leaves and of course a pumpkin for that other little circle and called it a day!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Soft Suede.

I love this taste of Fall and how you turned this into a wreath! I hope the boys are settling into their school routines, and work takes it easy on you for a while!
