Welcome to the September WMS Customer Waltz! I always love this time of month -- everyone always has such fun projects and with this month's theme of Halloween, it's going to be AWESOME! :)

We have another fun little guessing game for you. Be sure to find the special word on every participating DT member's blog-o to answer the following question: What is the subject of one of the new stamp sets to be released in October? Place your answer in the WMS forum for a chance to win something fun! Good luck guys!

So I'm a flowery girl. I love pink flowers, yellow flowers, all sorts of flowers. However, with a Halloween theme, you can't really do flowers... ;-) So I opted for diagonals!

I've been playing with diagonals recently. It's sort of a fun way to add a little something to your project and use up your scraps! I think it's pretty fun and it adds a modern look to your card with minimal effort.

I started by cutting simple strips of patterned paper. Black patterned paper is Bo Bunny, the other two are American Crafts. I usually have a simple scrap paper to lay my strips on. Once all the strips are laid down, I just go ahead and trim.

For the bag, I actually made an envelope bag. Instructions can be found here. I wouldn't recommend using paper and next time I think I'd bite the bullet and get some fabric tape, no matter how expensive. It's a little hard to fold the seams but with a little persistence...

Stamps are all from Midnight Feast from WMS.

What do you think? Aren't diagonals fun?
