Picking Apples with the Paper Players

Hey hey, y'all!  It's time for a new challenge from the Paper Players!  Ann has a great theme for us this time around:


Fall is 100% my favorite season and I am so READY for cooler days, fall baking, and changing colors!  One of my favorite things we did last year was to go picking apples, so for this challenge I decided to ink up my brand new Apple Harvest stamp set.


And for this month only, you can get matching dies for it too, how cool is that?  I admit, I was all set to resist this stamp set up until they introduced the dies, and then I just had to have it : ) 

I just checked and apparently I never uploaded pictures from our apple-picking escapade to my other blog, so here's a pic of Ryan with our haul:


Oh yeah, I tried so many apple recipes last year!  We had apple pie, apple crisp, apple muffins, homemade apple sauce, and probably some other things I can't think of at the moment.


And there's Ryan enjoying the good life in a wheelbarrow at Appel Happel.  So we picked an entire crate of apples despite the fact that we have TWO apple trees IN OUR YARD.  But it was such a fun time for all of us that I think we'll have to do it again this year : )

Now it's your turn to make a fun fall card!  Don't forget to upload it to the Paper Players blog.  Enjoy!

  9. Not sure if my previous comment saved so I'm typing again as Blogger did a weird thing! Here goes! I love the fresh colours you used with your apples Christie - I am missing my fall harvest this year, as the tree in my garden didn't bear a single fruit this year! Great photo of Ryan and listening to your cooking roll my mouth is definitely watering now!
