I bought this SU set Give Thanks last fall and didn't get many chances to use it since snow was falling by the time I got it. It seemed only fitting to pair it with Washington Apple dsp! I had a blast coloring the bucket and apples with some colored pencils. I popped some apples up too but the picture does not do it justice.
One of my favorite things about fall is going apple picking with my friends from high school. We didn't go last year, so I'm getting especially excited for this year's event. Then we go back to someone's house and do lots of baking...yum! There I am hiding amid a sea of MacIntosh apples back in 2007.
I usually eat as many as I pick, but that's the best part about apple picking! Hope you take some time today or this week to play along with us. Be sure to check out all the DT's fabulous creations too!

Hi Caryl, Great card! I am looking forward to my first apple pie. The Dr was pleased that I lost weight and I am glad I went to see her before apple pie season.
ReplyDeleteI love the sentiment. I am really going to try to be happy and thankful for the little things this school year and try not to let them stress me out. It is already a challenge to stay focused on the positive. I hope you have a great class this year.
What a beautiful card! I love fall themed cards, don't you? The colors are so beautiful and rich! I saw this card earlier over at Unscripted and knew I had to come comment on it. Beautiful job! A bit aside, I spent an hour going back through your blogs last night looking for one particular card! I'm going to a SU Open House this a.m. and wanted to know the name of the colors you used that day! Lol... it was the Bermuda Bay color with black and ivory posted back in July! Hugs! Happy Saturday...
