An Apple A Day . . . { Stampin' Up! Give Thanks }

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion a day should take care of everyone else! :)

I saw this funny sentiment on Splitcoaststampers and printed it on my pc to use for this card. This is a fun card design, but a little tricky to photograph. In the first picture, I had to tape the card closed so you can see how it looks before you open it. The second picture shows how it opens to reveal the inside sentiment. This is just a standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card, but the front is folded in half again at 2-1/8". The patterned paper is by the Paper Studio - Harvest Stripes.

The bucket of apples is from the Stampin' Up! "Give Thanks" set. I've colored it with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I wasn't sure of the correct shading on the apples, but they do look like apples, right? :)

I'm having a lazy weekend here and haven't accomplished much more than getting the laundry done. Yesterday, I did take my little dachshund Lilly for a walk and we both pooped out before the end of the trail. I guess we're out of shape, huh?!

The weather is still pretty warm and humid here, but windy today and it just seems like Autumn is in the air. I guess that's what inpired this card today. Hope you like it!

Wishing you all a warm and sunny Sunday! Smiles, Pam :)
