Inspired By...#43

Well fall is in full swing and I am so happy because we have been having such gorgeous fall weather, I hope it continues! The inspiration I have for you today is something that really caught my eye and said fall to me.

Now where will you go with this one? texture, acorn, fall, CAS, the neutral color pallette? Can't wait to see.

I pulled out the acorn and went with the CAS look. I used the acorn from a Paper Smooches Falling for You set and the sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set. The paper is Bella Blvd. It is hard to tell in the photo but I also picked up the texture of the napkin by using textured cardstock.

I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By #40

Well now I am back at it in the classroom. I certainly did not get everything done in the summer as I had planned... when you are gone it is pretty hard to keep up around the house - oh well, a lot of fun was had. Anyhow with the start of school, I am now ready for fall.

How will this inspire you? strips of paper, tweed, texture, fall, the colors...

I went with the theme of fall and tried to pull the colors and texture of the inspiration photo. I used the Autumn Afternoon Collection by Lori Whitlock, available at Jessica Sprague. I also used some May Arts Woven Burlap ribbon, which was too 'neat' for me so I stretched it and made it more rough. I also wrapped and tied some May Arts Jute twine. The May Arts items are available at the Ribbon Carousel. I used the sketch from My Sketch World, but I can not seem to find it to link to it.

It is the first challenge of the month so I have a prize up for grabs. A few fall themed items from SEI and Maya Road.

There will also be a random winner this week as well and that person will win a $10 Gift Certificate from Jessica Sprague, so be sure to join in on the fun!
