Art with Heart Team Blog Hop - Autumn Winter Mini Delights :o)

Has another month gone by already ... I am getting older faster than I want too :o)  Well its time again for another Art with Heart team blog hop - Autumn Winter Mini inspiration is our theme this month. Our team, lead by Claire Daly, has over 90 members; we enjoy the added benefit of an extremely active forum - here is just the work of a few of us.

You may have just come from the very talented Kimmy Meiklejohn, but if you are starting here, don’t worry … you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 14 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you!

When I first saw the new mini I fell in love with this set ... Cottage Garden - there is even some new Designer Series Paper to match - called Cottage Wall. 

I've used the new Rich Razzleberry cardstock (a new In Colour) and a Versamark pad to create the background print, then added Orchard Opulence and Old Olive to complete the colour combination. 

I love the spiral punch from the Ideas Book and Catalogue and have used it here to create a little extra detail - and backed it with some Old Olive ribbon ...

And of course once I got started ... I couldn't stop at one so here is another using the other side of that yummy stripy Cottage Wall paper ... isn't it brilliant that the flowers match the stamp set. And just how cute is that new butterfly?

Now as usual, if you visit and comment on each blog in the hop and then email ME, you'll be in the draw for some blog candy - this monthly kindly donated by Kathryn Mangelsdorf.  Now unlike me, Kathryn is one organised chickerdee and has posted a picture of the candy for us to drool over, no I mean show ... to you all ..

 It's very  cute .... yes there are die cuts there .... so yes this does mean that the Big Shot has arrived - whooo hooo!  There is a deadline of 72 hours to leave your comments (that's 6.00am AEST 3 April) and only non SU demos are eligible to win - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments please - thanks girls.

Right onward and upward you go ... blog hop and comment and then email me to let me know ... hope you have fun.  Off you go to our lovely and very creative team leader Claire Daly who has a lovely creation to share.

ps in case you get lost here is the whole list ...
