At first I was going to create another rosette wreath but then saw a wreath similar to this and had the idea ready to go! I LOVE my Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge and couldn't wait to make some flowers!

Here is my wreath!

I chose some multi colored orange, creme, and gold colored yarn from my stash and a straw wreath from Michaels!

I cut flowers from Art Philosophy and chalked the edges.

I adhered them to the wreath with a pearl stick pin.

Autumn Treats

Hi!  This week for Sweet Sassy Diva we are designing Autumn projects! I just got my new Art Philosophy cartridge and just had to use it! Every cut on my project is from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I LOVE Autumn! Its by far my favorite season! I love seeing all the colors change and the cool crisp mornings! I decided to make a pillow box!

Here it is:

I used my GYPSY to see my sizes of the pillow box and leaves!

Placed my papers and cut them accordingly!

I assembled the pillow box and added some Twine from the Twinery and my leaves!

I added an acorn and some pearl pen! 

I hope you enjoyed the pillow box! They are great to fill with a treat for family and friends! 

Make sure and come back each day for more Autumn inspiration from the Sweet Sassy Design Team! 

Hugs,

Kim
