'Tis the season

 Hi there! Today I'm joining along with the PTI's create Along With Us: September 2017 challenge. 
Here's my sample for the challenge:
 I combined a fun wreath from the PTI Wreath For All Seasons stamp set along with a sentiment from Vintage Ornaments.
 I was inspired by Dawn McVey's card that can be found here. I like how Dawn featured a pretty wreath with and Christmas sentiment.
For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches:
Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting featuring a garden of pansies:
I'm linking my painting to Paint Party Friday site and 30 in 30 Day 10:
Thanks so much for stopping by~hope you have a great day!
