Hi friends!
Just a quick post today to bring you yet another fabulous
challenge from the CCEE Stampers!
I was the hostess for September and today's theme
celebrates Johnny Appleseed!
Fun fact!
YOU CAN STILL VISIT ONE OF HIS TREES!
Nova, Ohio is home to a 176-year-old tree,
the last known to be planted by Johnny Appleseed himself.
It grows tart green apples, which are now used for applesauce
and baking and for cider making!
Thank you, Ohio!
For my apple themed card,
I reached for one of my favorite stamp sets
from The Alley Way Stamps (retired)
I stamped out the basket and colored it giving it a weathered look.
The apples are so much larger than the basket so I try
to center them a little wonky :)
Be sure to stop over at the CCEE Stampers blog to see what
the DT has created!
If you'd like to create a card and play along with this week's theme,
use the keyword CCEE1739.
Thanks for your visit today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
