Hello! Thank you all so much for the warm welcome I was given last week with my first Guest Spot with JUGS.
This week is word week. And it's perfect since we're just a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving here in the US.
My card features, once again, the Fall Collection from Honey Bee Stamps. This one has almost everything I have in the collection! The paper, the fence, the wagon wheel, the apple barrel with apples and apple blossoms and the Fall Bouquet. I love how this turned out! The paper was actually a pleasant surprise that it worked for this card. I had fun die cutting out these pieces. I don't know about you but I find die cutting and putting things together very therapeutic.
I grunged up the fence using gray and dark brown inks. The wagon wheel I didn't do much to it since I knew most of it would be behind the barrel. I love apples, so this barrel has my favorite snacking apples and baking apples. Red Delicious are my fave to snack on with some peanut butter. And Golden Delicious are my kids' favorite to snack on. And you just can't beat a good ol' Granny Smith for baking a pie!
I hope you enjoy my card and that inspires you to play along with us!
10 Encouraging Thoughts:
Fabulous card! So very Autumn 😊
From the background paper to the fence, to the wagon wheel, to the apple-filled barrel and apple blossoms to the wheat, your card full-on conveys 'Thanksgiving'. Absolutely lovely! I'm becoming more and more a fan of Honey Bee products; you may have 'influenced' a few additions to my wish list! Again, thank you for your fabulous inspiration for this challenge.

Everything about this card is wonderful. From the background to the apples. Awesome job!
Fabulous card! I love that distressed fence with the basket of apples. The falling leaves background is perfect on this and I do love that wagon wheel as well.
Faaaaaaaabulous Melissa with such wonderful thankful elements here. Great background realistic fence, wagon wheel and the basket full of delicious colourful apples. It's a 'winner'.
This is gorgeous! I love a basket of apples and those wheat sprigs really add to the scene!
