An Apple A Day Card

Another pretty fall project is what is here today to check out! I grabbed this set from Sheena. It's called An Apple a Day and I love it. Nothing beats an afternoon of apple picking with my family. I usually make homemade applesauce, apple butter and more with all the fall goodies we pick. There's something about going out and picking your own fruit. It makes you appreciate farming and your local businesses.

 

How beautiful is that basket of apples?? Makes me want that fall weather NOW. Although I adore fall and the weather, and pretty much everything, I know that winter follows. So, maybe I can wait!

Thank you for checking out my project today. Go and look on the Crafter's Companion website to see all the amazing fall sets available for crafting, and even get a jump on those holiday projects.

Lawnscaping Challenge #130 Sponsored by Lawn Fawn

It's Monday, so you know what that means - a new Lawnscaping Challenge is here!! This one is so much fun because who doesn't love a little sparkle and shine in their life?! I know I do.

We are sponsored by Lawn Fawn! Those folks just rock and they are sponsoring this challenge with a free stamp set of the winner's choice! So many stamp to choose from, I know. It's tough.

I had a lot of fun using my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens for this card because they sparkle like no other. I wish I could master capturing that amazing sparkle on my camera (working on this). But I assure you, there is plenty o' sparkle coming up.

 

 

I wanted something bright and kind of in-your-face for this simple card. Who wouldn't smile receiving this?? I used a beautiful summer-like palette here with turquoise, darker blue, jade, and a pop of peachy/orange. I heat embossed the flower from the Flutter By set onto the pennants I cut out of watercolor cardstock and then just had fun with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens, water and my heat gun. It helps to spread out the color in a fun way and of course, dries super fast. I mean, who wants to wait???

Here's another view of this vibrant card:
