October PL Swaps (Part 1)

I joined a Project Life Swap group on Facebook a few months back and have really been inspired.  Basically every month, the admins post swap themes (8-10 usually).  You sign up for how many you want and commit to making usually 10 cards utilizing the theme.  Before the due date, you send your cards to the swap host.  She collects everyone’s cards, sorts them, and sends you back a packet of cards.

This month, I joined nine swaps.  I'll be showing two of the swaps today:

Leaves -- I used a ton of scrap paper for this card.  Yeah for destashing!  I also added some die cut leaves from SU's Fun Fall framelits and the sentiment from SU's For All Things.  This is a simple card, but I really like the layering effect.

Banners -- For this swap, I again used a ton of paper scraps.  I decided to stick with the blues to give the set a uniform look even if they are different.  The banners are all cut between 1/2 and 3/4" and then free cut for length.  I used my trusty Hexagon punch for the banner ends.  So easy!
