The Art with Heart Challenge theme for September is “Fall Back”. However you choose to interpret that theme is up to you. Be creative and show us your Art with Heart! To get you started here’s some creative inspiration from the Inspiration Team and Team ATB! Later we’ll take a look at the winner and Top 3 creations from last months challenge.

Tonya- thanks for always doing such a great job with the dies- your work is amazing!
Wow, those projects are just amazing!! So excited to find your challenge, thanks and have a great month! 🙂
These are all great creations, and I especially love that Donna stepped out of the box with her topiary! It’s so pretty and creative. This is my first time visiting and entering this challenge. I looked for rules, and could not find them. I’m hoping it is acceptable to enter more than once–which I did:). Great entries this month, too!
Hope you enjoy my submission for the Art With Heart “Fall Back” Challenge!
Thanks You and Happy Fall!
