hi there! i am still recovering from watching my beloved chicago bears get beat by the lions last night. total bummer! :( i thought i'd get my mind off the crushing loss by posting this card i created for the current paper smooches sparks challenge. the inspiration photo this time really spoke to me. (click on the paper smooches badge below to go see the inspiration picture) i love the colors, the patterns, the images, everything. my mom used to have one of those tomato pin cushions too. :) i was inspired by all of the different tomatoes in different patterns and colors, so i created a bunch of paper pieced fall apples. all stamps are from paper smooches, i used the small apple image from the falling for you set, and i masked off the heart in the center of the apple. i used the happy from the halloweenies set and i spelled fall with the alphadots set. i used pop dots to pop each apple off the card. :) in other news, i signed up to be in a craft fair at the beginning of december! i am *so* excited about it!!! i have only been in one other craft fair, and it was about 3 years ago. it was a total blast! i am busy creating tons of stuff, so you'll be seing some of my craft fair creations soon. and if anyone lives in orange county, ca, and wants to stop by, just send me an email and i can give you all of the info! i hope you are having an awesome day! thanks for visiting! :)
