Traditional Christmas

Good morning folks

Can you believe it's the weekend again. I really don't know where the weeks are going before we know it the big day will have been and gone. Another busy weekend for me - I really must write some Christmas cards, I have 2 large candy canes to make (school production props), a birdhouse to complete, several boxes and envelopes to make and my house needs a good clean before we put up the tree. Anyway enough of the chat - here is today's creation -

It's a Christmas wreath done in traditional colours of red green and gold. It began life as a plain white heart shaped wreath from a large chain store and with a little help from some dies - 

• Spellbinder's poinsettia dies
• Crafter's Companion's Die'sire holly die
• Marrianne ivy die

some cardstock

• plain red (from my stash)
• red coredinations
• green coredinations
• gold mirriboard

and some embellishments from The Ribbon Girl -

• red Christmas ribbon
• red crinkle ribbon
• red berries

This how it looks now.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -
