PP415 Thankful Apple

Hi peeps!  Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  It's time for another Paper Players challenge and Joanne is our hostess this week with a clean-and-simple challenge, and it's a fun, seasonal one:

When I saw the CAS(E) the Sketch sketch for this week, I began to form my idea for my card:

That big sentiment reminded me that I haven't used these PTI dies for a long time, and I have never used this cute apple tag die from Lawn Fawn:

I cut the "thankful" die twice, once in Garden Green and another in Whisper White, and layered it so the white layer peeked out a bit from behind the green one, allowing it to show up better against the retired plaid Christmas From Around the World DSP:

The apple die was cut in three colors:  Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red, then trimmed and glued together.  I added some red baker's twine and a little white enamel dot for the apple's "shine":

And there isn't even any stamping on this card!! But I do love this sketch, and you might just see it again!   Meanwhile, I hope you'll show us your apple-y creations!  Remember, they must be clean and simple.....fewer layers and embellishments will help it meet that requirement!  Check out what the designers did:

Our church had a little harvest party yesterday!  The weather was PERFECT, cool and crisp but not so cold that we couldn't enjoy the outdoor activities!  The kids "painted" pumpkins with markers:

We went on two hayrides and Cassidy sat with the new pastor and three of  his four children:

Even Mommy and Eden went on the hayride!!!

Then we all had hot dogs and s'mores around the campfire!  

We also made cider with an apple press, and I'll try to share some pix of that as well!  It was a wonderful afternoon!!!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
