For this month's blog hop inspiration we've selected something with a bit of an autumn flair.  The fabric selections and pattern combinations used on these petite pumpkins are a prime way to jump-start a fabulous fall paper project.  Use the colors as your inspiration, or perhaps focus on the patterns  You can also utilize pumpkins or maybe some felt die-cut leaves.  Whatever you choose, you are sure to have amazing results!  We look forward to seeing your projects!

I have included an inlinkz list below for you to add your link to your blog hop project.  This new type of link list will allow you to select a thumbnail to go along with your link, making it easy to go back and find a project later that might have perked your interest.  

You have until 11:30pm EST tonight (October 25th) to add your link to this list.  THREE random participants will be selected to win a FREE Papertrey Ink stamp set of their choice.  They will be announced and highlighted here, on my blog, tomorrow morning.  We look forward to seeing all of your creations!

EDITED TO ADD RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNERS:

Jen Carvajal created this beautiful framed artwork using felt and fabric to piece together a stunning fall pumpkin.  I love detail of the brown buttons on the stem and the balance she created with the green strip in the background.

Terri E. pieced together a large pumpkin focal point with various patterned papers.  I love the way she allowed the pumpkin to really pop by using a Dark Chocolate card front.

Lynda Marquez used basic geometrics paired with pretty polka dots to create a fun everyday type of greeting that could be used year-round.  The addition of buttons on a few of her well-placed swatches was the perfect finishing touch!

Congratulations to all three winners!  Be sure to send an email off to customer service with your free stamp set selection as well as your shipping information!  A big thank you to everyone who played along!  There were so many fabulous creations this month!
