Winter Wreath

One of the first things to catch my eye in the catalogue when it came out in June, was the four gorgeous wreaths displayed on pages 184/185.  There is one for each season, and I am planning 4 classes based on them throughout the year.  We've done the fall wreath and it is a proud part of my decor this season.

But, on Wednesday, October 23, I am planning on holding a class to make this Winter Wreath:

I love the colours and choices of paper in this wreath.  The silver and soft sky just remind me of a serene winter's day.  I wish my photograph was better.  It was hard to get the photo of something this big without shadows.

I won't be giving you the recipe for this one, because I want you to come to my class.  It is a product based class and with your registration fee you will get a package of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper, a package of Silver Glimmer Paper, 2 sheets of Soft Sky designs from the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stacks and 5 sheets of Soft Sky cardstock, plus the wreath form and some embellishments. You keep what you don't use. See you then!  Here's a link where you can register.

If you're travelling home after the long weekend today, travel safely!
