Happy October! I am loving the neutral color palette that has been popping up for Halloween lately so when I saw this photo I was all over it ;)  

How will this inspire you?  Halloween, pumpkins, neutral colors, the texture or what about the black and white checked plate?  

I immediately thought of my All Hallow's Eve collection by Carta Bella and went with the Halloween theme and the neutral colors.  I upcycled a garage sale plastic frame, an empty plastic spice jar and a glass whiskey bottle with some spray paint and some of the papers and stickers.  The witch silhoutte was cut with my Chic & Scary Cricut cartridge.  Such a quick, easy and inexpensive project for adding some more of the 'spooky' feel around our house.  


Some close ups:

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!
