We want this to be FUN, so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Design Team Inspiration

It’s a lovely, crisp fall day on Mayra‘s card, which combines Fall Mice with Mice Flowers. The Heart Tree is full of colorful leaves, and mushrooms are popping up from many different sets, including Oh, Gnome! and Tea-rrific Day.

The Build-A-Wheelbarrow is piled high with Stitched Pumpkins on Karin‘s wonderful watercolor card. Her sweet little bluebird, which adds such a lovely pop of color, comes from the Center Picture Window Card Heart Add-on.

Joyce is keeping it simple with her Fall Leaves Stencils background. Her bright red Simply Celebrate Fall sentiment strip is the perfect place for her Fall Mice to hang out.

Samantha Casey‘s Hocus Purr-cus and Purrfectly Wicked cats have turned the Make Lemonade! stand into a place to sell potions. Drink one if you dare!

Franci‘s simply sweet design showcases the patch of pumpkins from Simply Celebrate Fall. The Stitched Borders and the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames add detail to her focal panel.

The Fall Mice are enjoying a brisk autumn day on Mimi‘s card. The Stitched Windy Backdrop adds so much movement behind the Heart Tree and its swirling leaves!

Speaking of swirling leaves, Samantha Mann takes a similar concept in a completely different direction. Her background uses the Autumn Breeze Stencil with White Stencil Paste to create a lovely raised texture for her You Autumn Know and Fall Mice to float on.

Christy‘s Fall Mice are running a Make Lemonade! cider shack in the Apple-solutely Awesome orchard! And she’s created a video tutorial for this card! You can check it out HERE on her YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Awesome Autumn Challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back on Wednesday when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 228 – Woodland Wonder!

THIS CHALLENGE IS STILL OPEN! THE LINK PARTY ENDED ENEXPECTEDLY, SO PLEASE ADD YOUR SUBMISSIONS IN THE SECOND ONE BELOW. THIS CHALLENGE WILL END ON OCTOBER 4TH AT 11:59 ET.
