It’s a super exciting day here at Elle’s Studio – All our new Autumn, Halloween, and Christmas items are now in-stock! I had the chance to play around with the new items this weekend and the colors are SO perfect – they are going so well with everything that I have in my stash and I am loving it!

Our Autumn/Halloween line is called Spooky Tales! It’s the perfect mix of tags for your Halloween, Autumn/Fall, thankfulness layouts, projects, and more!

Our holiday line this year is called Be Merry and the colors are amazing! There’s tons of tags that will work great for layouts, mini albums, cards, and more! Along with numbers that are perfect for December Daily!

And, both collections have tags sized perfectly for the Project Life page protectors, Studio Calico’s Handbook, and even Echo Park’s Photo Freedom Sleeves!

We also have some good news about our stamps and digital goodies:

And, don’t miss out on your LAST CHANCE to purchase and download our Summer Mini Album Workshop class and tags! This class will be retiring on September 30th and won’t be available again! Use coupon code digisale during checkout for 30% off this class and ALL our digital items! This offer expires September 30th, 2012 at midnight.

Are you ready for a blog hop, too?! Our design team has put together a fun blog hop to celebrate the launch of our new collections! At each stop in the hop you’ll be able to see a sneak peek of their upcoming October Inspiration Gallery that will be debuting on October 1st AND have a chance to WIN their favorite items from our new release! Plus, as you’re hopping along, you might even see who our Guest Design Team Member is going to be for October!

For this stop along the hop, we will be drawing two winners! One person will win the entire Be Merry collection and the other will win the entire Spooky Tales collection! Just leave a comment to be entered to win it and we’ll draw the two winners on Saturday, September 29th – so make sure you check back to see if you’ve won! And, keep hopping along for even more chances to win!

Thank you for joining us on this SUPER exciting day!

p.s. We’ve been getting a ton of emails asking if we are going to be doing a Christmas kit this year. We have decided to NOT do a kit this year, since our Be Merry collection has so many items that would work great for December Daily. However, we do still have an exclusive something special planned! If you love stamping, stay tuned for that announcement in October!

This weekend I got a chance to sit down and play with our Spooky Tales collection that is coming out this Wednesday, September 26th it’s here!! I love how this collection is a mix of Autumn and Halloween, and I had so much fun documenting the changing season with this layout.

For the leaves, I used this template, and misted a piece of white cardstock with half gold and half dark brown. Then I cut the leaves out of the misted paper AND matching leaves in vellum paper. I matched up the same shaped leaves (one cardstock, one vellum) and glued them together a little offset, then layered them down the side of my layout, and added a 4 x 6 Spooky Tales journaling tag, along with some Spooky Tales Pennants, and a label from our 3 x 4 Spooky Tales tags.

I’m loving this new collection so much – can’t wait to see what you guys make with it!

We are so excited to announce that our new items will be available this Wednesday, September 26th at 8:00 am! Along with the launch of our two new collections: Spooky Tales & Be Merry, we will be having a fun blog hop, so mark your calendars and don’t miss out on all the fun!
