Fall is a favorite time of the year for me and I'm definitely looking forward to the cooler weather...The colors of fall will find their way into our projects this month. Have you tried Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzaz or Concord Grape together? Perfect. And the dsp paper in all the fall colors is in a cardstock weight and makes up so pretty. We'll definitely do a couple of projects using that.
Last Play Day we actually make a Christmas card. Those of you who plan to WOW your family and friends with cards you've made will have several samples to see at ths month's Play Day to help you with your plans. We also learned a new technique called "thumping" and made a fall card. Here's some shots of some of our stampers getting their fingers inky...

Don't they all look happy? It's just fun being together, learning and creating beautiful projects we can share.
Here are a couple of photos of possible Play Day projects. I really haven't decided yet. There are many projects in the "works" the newest one is always my favorite. Here's one for the fall or Thanksgiving. The message is on a tag that pulls up from the top of the card. This stamp set is one of my favorites from the new Holiday Mini Catalog (if you don't have one yet, I'll have one for you at Play Day).
And here's a Christmas card to consider. It also has a layer that pulls up and out with your message. There is also room for a photo if you include one in your cards. Don't know if you can see it well, but there is "fairy dust" on the holly leaves. The ribbon is the new seam binding Cherry Cobbler...ties so pretty!
So, mark your calendar for Saturday, October 2nd at 2 pm to come to Play Day and get your creative spirit in gear for the season change and the upcoming holidays. It's all fun.
Let's get our fingers inky...
