Default I need invitation help...anyone????

I am having a fall harvest party for my daughters and their friends. At the party, we will make a craft, go on a hayride/apple-picking - pizza dinner and make smores on our fire-pit later in the evening.

PROBLEM??? I have NO idea of the invite i want to make...they have to get out, the date i chose is 10/18... I have a HUGE mental creative block.

thoughts??? suggestions????

the only "fall" set i have is harvest home from SU.

I was all set to do one in a "halloween" (already have the stamp set from SU i wanted to use...theme, but everyone thinks i shouldn't do it due to i don't want them to dress in costumes since we are going on a Hayride etc.

I need SERIOUS quick help if possible.

TIA

Sorry I cannot help, I have not made fall cards before but I did a search in the gallery and this is what came up: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

I def think you should do a fall card rather than halloween!

Hope you come up with ideas soon

I came across this card in the gallery. If you have the SU stamp set Loads Of Love maybe you could use that one. I thought it might be really cute if you put hay in the back of the truck- especially if you are going on a hay ride, although pumpkins or apples would be fine as well. Here's a link to the card I found in the gallery:

If you don't have the Loads Of Love stamp set I would be happy to send you some stamped images, just let me know.

For some reason I thought there might be a hay bale stamp in that set, but I just looked and there isn't, but there is a pumpkin and a happy harvest stamp in the Loads of Love Accessories set. Maybe you would be able to find a hay stamp if that's what you wanted to use.

I love the Loads Of Love stamp set, it's so versatile.

I think this is a really cute idea. If you really like the idea of hay, maybe you could use raffia or some other fiber? Maybe wrap it around a pice of cardstock to make a "bale"? Good luck.

I am sooooo happy, that is such a great idea, I will make them today when my girls are in school.

I knew coming here was the right thing to do, I never thought to use that stamp. :-)

Thanks again!!!
