Happy Tuesday!!
It is still raining here in the Northeast. I guess it is typical during the fall but I want it to be nice so I can go apple picking!! I like to pick during the week to avoid all the crowds. I have a ton of farms that are minutes from my house that I pick it, depending on what type of apple I am looking for. My favorite are Macoun-what type is your favorite?
Speaking of apples, I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Inspired By Card Challenge. I got a package from Spellbinders last week with the *Welcome Fall cutting dies and I had to use them!!!
Below is the Inspired By Challenge IB189-All the Peels. My card was inspired by the basket on the badge and a bit by the sketch.
If I had actually looked at the badge closely, I should have die cut my basket out of grayer paper. I also could have added some of the filling that is below the apples as I have that in spades for gifts!! However, I was in a rush to get a bunch of cards done so my card is as it is.
I blended *Peacock Feathers Distress Ink for my background and used Tim Holtz Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain before I added my die cuts. These colors were inspired by the card example on the package!! I always have more than one little something that inspires a card!
I LOVE this die set and have some ideas to use it with some Christmas branches next time!!!

I love your basket of apples just the way it is! SO realistic! And that banner and sentiment is terrific! How many times have I wish I had a sentiment going in that direction! Beautiful fall creation---thanks for playing with us this week!
What a cute basket of apples! I spy browns in our photo, so I think your basket works perfectly. I like the extra bits of fall you added as well. This is delightful, Nora. Thanks so much for joining us at IB!
Nora, this card is adorable! It's easy to see how the photos inspired you and I love how it turned out. Great colors!
Nora, your new Spellbinders die purchase couldn't be more adorable, or timely! this is so darling!
I love how you're inspired by packaging, and things you love to do - like apple picking! We love it, too - though we have gotten a wee bit lazier about it - Honey Crisp are my husband's favorite to eat - I love Empire and Courtland, for baking.
