Wreath Challenge

Hi Everyone!  My name is Elise, a.k.a. Lizzieming and I am so thrilled to be contributing to this wonderful blog.

Today's project is my Valentine's Day Wreath.  I love making home decor projects with paper and wreaths have become my "thing"!  Here is a picture of the ingredients I used to make this project:

As you can see, I used My Mind's Eye Lovenest paper, a styrofoam wreath, ribbon (which I changed after I took this picture LOL), my Epiphany badge maker (for the rosette centers), and straight pins.  I wrapped the ribbon around the wreath, totally covering it.  Then I put my Cricut to work....I used Ribbons and Rosettes Cartridge for all of the rosettes, Lyrical Letters for the greeting (Celebrate Love) and I honestly can't remember which cart I used for the hearts, but any heart will do! Here are some pics of the cuts:

As you can see, I arranged the rosettes and the hearts around the wreath until I got it where I liked it.  Use the straight pins to attach to wreath....once they are pushed in, they stay very secure.  I like to use sheer ribbon to hang the wreath.  Here is the finished product!  This one hangs on my front door in between the storm door and the main door so it doesn't get damaged from the elements.

I hope I have inspired you to give this a try....It really is very simple, but packs quite a punch!
