Almost time for another Papertrey release! Can you believe it is time for the Halloween/Fall release already? I can't believe how fast this year is going! We are already back to school around here (today is our first day) and hopefully we will be enjoying the cool crisp days of autumn soon. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year. This month the designers have done it again, combining forces to come up with not one but two fabulous tag sets. I love the versatility these sets provide, wonderful images for the whole year! This month we have the 2009 Halloween Tags set and the 2009 Autumn Tags set, both equally wonderful. Our assignment was to share the versatility and simplicity of these sets by creating two projects that are indentical except for the the tags used and the colors - one for Halloween and one for Autumn.
Here is my Halloween card, I used the super duper cute witches hat image and a fun color combo of Plum Pudding, Ripe Avocado, and True Black. Not the traditional Halloween colors but I think they work great!!
Here is a closer look at the fun, sparkly witches hat - how cute it that image?!
Next up is the Autumn card, where I combined the Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate, and the new Orange Zest (NOT available until September 15th) from the In Bloom patterned paper collection. Same layout, different tag, I cut out the pumpkin and swirly stem very carefully and layered them on the tag, I really love the look of it.
And a closer look at that tag and the fabulous buttons (wait til you see what's coming out this month)!
So excited for you all to see the projects made by all the designers, be sure to visit each persons blog today! They are all fabulous!
AND last but certainly not least, I must with my husband and son a very happy happy birthday today! Thank you boys for making everyday a joy! I love you so much!
Geny these are terrific cards! The sparkly witch's hat is so cute and the pumpkin card is beautiful!

Great Cards and I love the idea with the coloured buttons....simple yet effective and would be easy to mass produce!
