This is for IC623 and Balsam Hill is our inspiration site today. We have used a very small and old artificial tree for many years. My husband and I splurged and purchased a beautiful Balsam Hill Tree with two matching wreaths for this holiday. I am having a hard time waiting to put them up but will restrain myself and wait for Thanksgiving weekend. LOL! I can hardly believe how gorgeous and real the branches look. Anyway, I digressed away from the fact that I was inspired by the Poinsettia Wreath. I don't need much of an excuse to make poinsettia cards as I love them so much and never tire of making them. I pulled out my very first poinsettia die set (and I believe the first and original ever made and sold)made by Spellbinders. I paired it with foliage and a pretty decorative frame and scalloped layer. I added sparkle with clear glitter. You can see more details by checking out my blog post at Kittie Kraft.

What a beauty, Kittie. Your poinsettias and greenery are so beautiful against the white. I bought a new tree today, too, and am ready (right now) to put it up and decorate.
