So let's get to today's inspiration... 

Sam - I would normally say I am not a fall person as it means the colder weather is coming although while making my DT card I reflected on a school excursion I went on to the botanical gardens in Autumn to see all the beautiful leaves and the vibrant autumn colours.  It was stunning!  So for my card I used Eli Elephant Clearing leaves Precoloured, Enfys Jetsetting for the paper and I used the Woodlands Door Die for the leaf embellies.  Happy Crafting!

Donna - Hello Crafty Friends!  The team is going Autumn this round and for my project, I've used the adorable Winston Bear Get in Touch digital stamp to create an Autumn Wishes card.  Winston has been colored using alcohol markers and highlighted with fun autumn patterned papers.  Autumn is my favorite time of year, I adore the rich colors, crunchy leaves and crisp air! 

Melanie - Morning all, for my project I have made a magic iris card featuring the Snowdrift friends image. I coloured the image as usual, using my spectrum noir markers and adhered this on to my magic iris backdrop which I have ink blended a snowy sky using distress oxide inks and added a snowy hill. The Sentiment used reads “ all hearts come home for Christmas” which is from the Winnie white Christmas sentiment bundle. To complete the card, I’ve added some yellow glitter stars and some white gel pen to the background. Happy Crafting!

 Judy: My DT project for this week's challenge is a set of Halloween Treat Bags that would be perfect to be given as party favors. I used a silhouette cut file for the bags and decorated with stamps from Fang-tastic 4 x 6" Stamp Matchables. The stamped images were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Arteza Inkonic Pens and fussy cut. 

SARAH - These cute party hats are so quick and simple to make!! Just use a template to cut a party hat from your fave halloween papers (this is even easier if you have a digital cutting machine!), pop a pompom on the top and use some of the cute Winnie Halloween digital Witch and Pumpkin stamps to decorate (there are sooo many to choose from!!). Party ready in no time!!

Rose Hello Friends, hope you are excited for new challenge, it's all about Autumn, one of my favourite season of the year. Today, I am using digital image Taking a Break Toadstool combined with digital paper Eden Collection - Paper Heaven 2 .Added some handmade paper flowers with printed out sentiment . Read more on my blog.
ENRICA - Hello crafty friends!  For my Halloween party I've created some lollipop cards and a decorated base to hold them using some cute digis from the 'Boo Halloween big bundle', 
Digital papers from the 'Halloween Trick or Treat printable download papers 2 set' and added sentiments from the 'Halloween Trick or Treat printable download Sentiments'  Let the fun begin!! xx
DONNA PARROTT - Hi guys, this week I’ve created some little Halloween party bags, ready to be filled with tasty treats. I’ve used a mix of papers from Batty Boo’s Paper Pack Batty Boos Halloween paper pack 6 x 6" - Polkadoodles Ltd and Spooky Special Paper Pack Spooky Special Paper pack 6 x 6" - Polkadoodles Ltd to create the bags, and I’ve used Witch Broomstick Gnome Witch Broomstick Halloween Gnome digital stamp - printable clipart for cardmaking, craft, scrapbooking & stickers - Polkadoodles Ltd Witch with Cat Witch with Cat Halloween Gnome digital stamp - printable clipart for cardmaking, craft, scrapbooking & stickers - Polkadoodles Ltd and Frankenstein Monster Frankenstein Monster Halloween Gnome digital stamp - printable clipart for cardmaking, craft, scrapbooking & stickers - Polkadoodles Ltd for decoration. Visit my blog for measurements and step by step photos. 
NATALIA - Do you like Halloween atmosphere? These colours, candles, lights, pumpkin, and... of course sweets for kids. I love it! So... For today's inspiration, I've created a coffin shape box for Halloween treats. I used a chipboard and a little structural paste to make a wooden look for my project. I painted it all in black and brushed a bit of green colour on the top. I completed my box using stencil Bird in the bush and placed it in the frame on the front of the pack. I also printed off a sentence from the Spooky sentiments - digital download bundle - It's Candy time...and my treats box is ready. Creative Halloween for everyone!
SABINA - Hello and welcome to our Autumn challenge this week. I did a mixed media project with  Apple Bobbing Halloween Gnome digital stamp and Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings. I glued down Distress Ink Papers plain digital papers to the cardboard and then applied gesso and coloured with watercolour paints and Stabilo Woody pencils. I stamped leaves from Flower Collage Stamp set on some parts of the cardboard.
Sharon Schlezinger - I created this Autumn card using this adorable Winnie Dandelion image - I'm not sure dandelions are around in autumn/fall or not but I think it still works great!

Ann-Nicole - I made this hanger using these great digis from the awesome Autumn bundle download - you get so much in here, it's fab! 

Wendy - I've used Eli clearing leaves for this autumn card and added this Tree which makes a great background and the pumpkins are from the Autumn bundle download...hope you like it!


WOWEEE! A great mixture of Halloween and Christmas inspiration for you this week - thanks so much to all the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration... 

Melanie - Morning Everyone, we are getting SPOOKY this morning with some FANGTASTIC HALLOWEEN projects. For my project I’ve made an infinite shaker card using some of the sentiments from the BOO Halloween sentiments bundles which I used to make my own sentiment background paper which I added inside to a small storage wallet, added some shaker bits and sealed using double sided tape. I then coloured my image which is the Cute Little Boo Witch using my alcohol markers and fussy cut the image and adhered on front of the shaker which I mounted onto some green glitter cardstock and a white card base measuring 4.24”x5.5” . Hope you have a SPOOKTACULAR DAY! 

Maz - For my 'Friendship' card, I used the cute Honeypie Best Friend Hugs and coloured using ProMarkers. I attached to backing paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy. The Sentiment and 50 are from Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set. All details are on my blog...
 Donna - I used this Helga Hippo Cake for this challenge - I'd love to share it with a friend! 

Catrin - Hi everyone, I have created a DL Halloween card using the new Bat Gnome from the Halloween Gnome Bundle. The image has been coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut. The background has been created by blending 3 different distress inks, Villainous Potion, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves leaving a white circle for the moon - I then used a cloud stencil and Black Soot distress ink to create the colour effect I then Flicked some white paint and left to dry. I then added the sloped with Black Soot. I die cut the sentiment from the Gnome Trick or Treat Printable Greetings set and  to complete I added 2 die cut bats. 

ENRICA - Hello crafty friends!  Today's challenge is a great one, Christmas organisation! I don't know about you but I never have enough tags when getting closer to Christmas time LOL! For my tags I used three of the cute gnomes which you can find in the Gnome Festive Fun Big Bundle. I also used the 'Gift Tree' - 'Just for You Gift' - 'Put your Boots on' images too. I colored them with Copic markers and added WordArt Sentiment from the Christmas Joy Bundle...

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Halloween!  I used the image Cute Little Witch Boo Halloween and colored her to match the papers I used from Spooky Special Paper Pack.  The sentiment is from Grab Your Broomstick and I cut it out using the die from Posydoodles Tags.  The purple pattern paper that the image is on, was cut in a circle using Stitched Circles Dies.

Pam ~ For my card this week, I've selected Polkadoodles Isadora Witch Halloween.  I love the crystal ball in this design - so magical!  My extra large card (5 1/2" x 8") is mounted on a white card base with the front covered in a stripped paper from Polkadoodles Fresh Twist Craft Paper.  I added a generic die cut spider web with a little bit of Stickles Diamonds to give it a bit of sparkle.  The completed image was die cut using a large stitched oval die, then secured in the center of the card. 

Nunzia: autumn colours are so beautiful and I think that this Super stylish puppy  perfectly sets this fall scene. I colored it with alcohol markers as well as the trees that are from autumn bundle. The background is made with the combination of two digi papers from Superhero little dudes and Winnie sugar sprinkles paper heaven 4, while sentiments are from Winnie daisy greetings.


Ariadna - Hello crafters!! This week's challenge is Halloween!  Halloween is coming and witches are preparing a super funny party!  Inspired on this I decided to create this card with the super cute digital stamp Winnie Wednesday Witch & Cat. I colored these super sweet stamps with my favorite pencil colors and for the background I added a little bit of color using just some crayons and that's all!  I hope you like it!
Rachael - So it's now September and we are well on our way to Autumn.  To celebrate this season of glorious colour, I made this bear card using one of the die sets from the website. The set is called 'beary cute' from the great outdoors critter set, and the only other things I used were card stock, white gel pen and a tiny bit of glitter.

Thanks to the team once again for such great inspiration!

Marie - Hey crafty friends!  For my fantasy-themed card, I chose this pretty mermaid from the Too Cute Christmas Fishes Bundle - Holiday.  I have used the pre-colored version, and isn't she just so pretty?  I had a lot of fun creating an ocean scene for her, and you can read all the details about that on my blog.

Sarah - I love jumping in the leaves in Autumn with my son, so I thought that I'd die-cut a bunch of the leaves from the Beary Cute die set in Autumnal colours for the bear to jump in. So cute!!
