Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #25

Hi!!

I am hosting the Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge this week. I thought it would be fun to see what types of Fall-themed cards people could make without using the color orange, and here's what I came up with:






I was inspired by an Autumn card made by Maile Belles, who used green, yellow, and brown as her main colors. My color choice was motivated by my friend Jessica, who used green and purple in her shoebox swap card this past weekend.




I think this was one of the first times I got down and dirty with some PTI grosgrain ribbon. It is great, but for some reason I prefer the satin ribbon a little bit more for bows because it's a lot softer to move and bend. What do you think?

Anyway, this Sunday marks the 1-year anniversary of my blog, so I am going to do a giveaway that day for one of my PPD members. :)
Supplies {by PTI unless otherwise noted}

This is awesome! I love the purple and green theme you have and the little glitter on the ghost is perfect! (I may have to copy!) I just got the tags a couple of weeks ago and love them. Can't wait to work on this challenge this weekend!
