Bushels of Thanks

My sister lives on the other side of the state where apples are the biggest industry.  In fact, her husband is the largest fruit packers in the state.  I wanted to thank her for her hospitality recently so I chose apples as a theme for my card.


The checks BG paper, basket of apples and the cut apple are all Diane's Daydream Design pre-colored digital images.  Burlap and twine are from the Kraft Outlet.
I don't use tags very often but I challenged myself for this card.  Cut my own tag then punched out a circle and punched a hole in that before attaching it to the tag.  The tag was slipped in behind the basket of apples before I secured everything with glue and Score Tape.

Challenges:
Simon Monday - techniques (stitching and distressing)
Kraft Journal - tags
Paper Takes - use punches
Through the Craft Room Door - anything
Sweet Stamps - anything
Crafty Sentiments - Autumn colors
Word Art Wednesday - anything
Sister Act - anything
2Cute - Fall
Di's DigiDesigns - checks
Simon Wednesday - tags

    Marsha, I really like all your cards. This one is so clean and crisp it reminds me of biting into a freshly picked apple. The layout is outstanding. Thank you so much for joining our 150th challenge at Word Art Wednesday. I thank God for your participation and I pray you will have a day filled with joy.

    Not only is this absolutely precious, it makes me want to go to an orchard, pack a picnic, and then come home and bake a fresh apple pie!
    I know your sister will love and appreciate this gift of he{ART}.
