Hi! Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway with my Apple project. My inspiration came from this month's issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine. One of the layouts had a bunch of squares with apple punches out of the middle of them. I don't have an apple punch, but I do have a Gypsy!!!
This paper came from a K&Co. stack of paper. I really liked the block look. The blocks were all 2" squares, so I lined up six rows of six apples on my mat. I used the apples from Plantin Schoolbook at 1 inch.
After I took the paper off I saw these apples and my project shifted. I decided to make a card instead of a layout so I could use these apples!
Here is how the paper looked. I wish I would have made the apples a little bigger but I still like it!
I used my corner rounded on the blocks.
I put a little apple in the inside!
I put a scrap of red behind two of the squares and tied some twine around the smaller apples. I am going to give this card to my son's kindergarten teacher!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Lori, yes you do have a Gypsy, and you and your Gypsy rock!!! What a great team! What a great card!!!
Hugs, my sister-friend!
Lovin the card..I didn't realize until you showed the picture of the rounded corners that the center is a strip of the cutout apples! It just looked like a strip of paper..You just can't get the full effect in these pics can you? Great job and way to switch in the middle of a project to something different than what you originally thought of..I wish I had that creative process! :)
