Holiday Leftovers Amazing Wreath from Wild West Paper ARts

“Frightful-Beautiful Blooms-Sweet As Pie-Merry & Bright
Amazing Holiday Wreath”

Do you love holiday leftovers? I do! And sometimes holiday leftovers yield amazing results, even in the paper crafting world. Proof, this Holiday Leftover Masterpiece. Here it is, a “Frightful-Beautiful Blooms-Sweet As Pie-Merry & Bright Holiday Wreath.” Whew…that was a mouthful!

This wreath is created by pulling apart or using leftovers from Simply Created Kits and combining them with two Paper Pumpkin Kits. Leftovers yield beautiful results! Well, if not beautiful, at least interesting.

I just love kits. Can you tell? Think of them as a springboard to creativity. As you can see (by yesterday and today’s posts), kits can be used for so much more than what they’re intended. I have to admit, this one got away from me but I do like the end result. Let’s see what went into this leftover creation.

While I don’t suggest you rush right out and purchase all of these kits. I DO encourage you to save some of the unique elements. All you need are some pieces and an imagination to create your own Holiday Leftover Masterpiece!

Don’t forget, time has almost run out to subscribe for the November 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit!
