As soon as I saw this photo I knew it would be the perfect inspiration for this months blog hop!  The colors are so unique, warm and cozy!  Perfect for inspiring both autumn and holiday projects, whichever you choose!  I have put together a few inspiration cards that might help you along…

Here are some additional ideas as well!

• Incorporate yarn into your project.
• That gorgeous pail reminds me of heat embossing in silver.
• Felt could help recreate the warmth and coziness.
• Any of the stitching dies would be a great addition!

I am sure that many of you will come up with even more ideas!  Take a piece of this inspiration (or others you have discovered) and create something fabulous!  We look forward to seeing all of your creations!
