Reasons To Wear Autumn

With Autumn arriving, it's time to celebrate.

And you can do that by wearing it - around your neck, dangling from your ears.

Enjoy these handmade and perfectly wearable pieces.

Wear The Autumn, a collection of handmade jewelry.

The colors are turning warm and rustic.

Focus is on leaves, acorns and other Fall-inspired treasures.

What's your favorite part of Autumn?

With blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

{PIN}spirational Challenge #30: Photo - Autumn Or Halloween?

Use the unexpected! Anything can be an embellishment as long as you keep your options open and your mind creative. The skulls are actually cheap plastic rings. I cut the band off and what do I have? Spooktastic details :)

At {PIN}spirational Challenge, we are challenging you to share your creativity with a little inspiration from a photo found on Pinterest.
You can see the photo below.

Our sponsor this week is the fantastically fun CardMadFairy, so why not stop by with your project for a chance to win?

Crafty Creations Challenge #190: Fall Harvest

Can you believe that it's October already? Wowzer, this year is just passing me by! I really need to stop and eat the candy corn :)

At Crafty Creations, we are welcoming the fall season by challenging you (and ourselves) to use Harvest colors, such as red, orange, yellow & brown.

Our sponsor is Digital Delights and I was inspired by their sweet little witch. I gave her fun variegated yarn hair, a modern hat (Buckles are just out of style for witches these days - Bows are much better!) and two spider friends.

What do you like about Fall? Is it your favorite season?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #27: Photo - Deer In The Forest

Happy Tuesday! It's a new challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. As always, we share a photo for you to be inspired by. See below for what it is.

I was inspired by the deer (obviously - Ha!) and the yellow colors.

Our sponsor Squigglefly offers the perfect digital stamp for this challenge and I was lucky enough to be able to use it.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #26: Photo - Maple Tree In Autumn

Welcome, Autumn!

We are celebrating this beautiful season with a gorgeous tree for inspiration at {PIN}spirational Challenges.

Our sponsor is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. While I haven't used one of their digis in this creation, I have in the past (click here) & will definitely be doing so in the future.

Are you inspired? If so, please share your creation with us. I can't wait to see it!

 This creation is all about using what I have.

The only item that is "new" is the grosgrain ribbon, which is my new obsession!

The polka dot chipboard flower (right side) is at least 3 years old! Talk about hoarding :)

Have you been using up your stash lately? What is the oldest item you have in your supplies?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #25: Photo Inspiration - Be So Happy

What a fantastic quote to live by! Of course, it is harder than it is to say, but I definitely will start reminding myself of this delightful way to look at life.

At {PIN}spirational Challenges, we invite you to join us with your take on this photo. By sharing with us, you could win a prize from our sponsor, The Digi Garden.

I was joyed to use one of their digital stamps in my creation. This super cute boy was originally catching fish, but I decided to change it up (especially since I am a vegan!) He is catching (& will be releasing) love. Isn't that just adorable?

Is there a quote that has inspired you lately?
