No love for Val this month from the pubs, well, save 1 lowly card, but that's ok. I thought I'd entertain you with a "Gallery of Rejects" today - not just rejects, but fresh rejects!
Let's start with something to kick off the Fall/Halloween season. I promised my kids we would set up the "spooky houses" and other Halloween decorations tomorrow, so this will put me in the mood...

I made these from manila tags from Staples. I colored them with Distress Ink (Soot, using the puddle technique) then cut them into the shape of coffins. Those stamps are Tim Holtz/Stamper's Anonymous. I just love them. I heat embossed them then cut up the skeleton and rearranged him to suit my needs. The sentiments are old Martha Stewart Halloween rub-ons that I got on clearance last year. Tucked in a little ribbon at the bottom and called it a day.
Here's another rejected tag:
Used my Crate Restoration 6 x 6 pad for this, plus the Restoration stickers. The stamp is Stampin Up, as were the little punches I used to punch them out.
And lastly, a card:
So, today I plan to work tirelessly to make some fresh stuff for the blog tomorrow - in the meantime, want to win something good? Over at Scrap That! Amanda is giving away a Scrapagogo kit. You have until September 22 to leave a comment on the blog and win. What are you waiting for?!

Yes, Amy, I changed the header last week. That bluish one wasn't doing it for me any more :) Glad you like it - it's just a cross section from a card I made. I add the type in Photoshop.
Love your projects, but those Halloween tags are fantastic!!! I love that stamp set. I may just have to invest in it. Also love your header BTW!

Add me to the list that LOVES your rejects! The card is fabulous, too!
Well, these are glorious rejects!! I didn't have a swell month, either. I attribute it to having too many eggs in my basket with everything going on at the beginning of the school year! Luckily, it's a monthly gig and in a few weeks it all starts again!! I love your new blog header, too! :D
These cards are FANTASTIC!!!! How can anyone reject these - well I LOVE them!!
Ooh ooh, that soot technique is awesome! Love all these projects! And I'm so very happy to hear that you will have the Christmas Wonders in your hands soon, can't wait to see what you do with it.

I tell ya, good stuff every time I stop by. I adore those skeleton tags and the magazines totally missed out on those! At least we get drool over them now!
More reject love coming your way! :) Those coffin tags are so cool-love the technique you used to color them and that little bit if lace? Love it. I adore that card-the design is awesome!
These are all delightful. They just don't know what they're missing!:) And I love the concept of this post!
I absolutely adore your 'rejects'!! They are awesome! The magazine might not picked them but I love them!
Can't believe THOSE were rejects! Sometimes, one can just never tell what it is they need!
Great tags! Love the birthday card!
