Mini Wreath Ornament


I made this little mini-wreath for our Lizzie Anne Design Team Challenge today. I used one of my favorite nature/holiday sets, Heaven and Nature. That pine bough and the pinecone are well-used stamps. I framed one of my favorite picts of my kids. Will look cute on grandma's Christmas tree!



I also stamped this holiday sentiment on the back (from our November Mix set.)


This is actually version two of this ornament, the first one didn't make it. I tried sewing my circles together on my sewing machine and found out the hard way that sewing machines do not do well with glue dots. I had used just a few glue dots to try and keep the circles in place while I sewed, and the needle kept getting stuck! And sewing in circles is difficult anyways. At least for me (I've mentioned that I'm afraid of my sewing machine.) I'm sticking to straight lines for now!

I kept hearing from my design team that this challenge was difficult. And yeah, it kinda was. But the projects all turned out awesome! Very original and creative. Make sure to go see them all on the Lizzie Anne Blog today!
