Inspired By...#45

I was really drawn to these milk containers and thought they would make such a great inspiration.

I love the retro feel, the text, the colors and the pennants on these... which way will you go?  

I had a lot of ideas when I first pinned the picture but in the end I went with the pennant with a single word.  I used my cricut to cut out the word and backed it with some Country Pumpkin Chower by Jillibean Soup.  I then used a bit of May Arts Woven burlap ribbon, which I stretched out, along with a stamp from Technique Tuesday, some Jute twine and of course the buttons are from PTI.  The main panel is mounted of foam squares for dimension.

I am playing along with the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant - Fall inspiration

I loved seeing all the acorn creations for the last challenge, there is just something about a cute little acorn that says fall to me.  The winner this week was:

Congratulations Savannah!

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:

It is the first challenge of the month so I have a prize up for grabs:
