Holy Moly, it's Autumn!

I received a lovely present from my long-time craft-blogging buddy Mimi: "An Apple a Day" die set from Sheena Douglass. Just in time for apple season!

The sentiment is a freebie from Ginger's House. I cut/embossed the apples from a shiny, textured cardstock & added a bit of red with a Copic marker & colorless blender. I've been hoarding this apple-patterned paper from Graphic 45 for years, and I'm glad I finally found the perfect project for it! I printed the sentiment onto printable acetate, and used my papercutter to create the frame with cardboard & a wood-patterned paper. The shaker is filled with gold & orange microbeads and orange hearts. I used my scraps to decorate the inside, pictured here with an inspirational apple my husband got at the farmer's market this week.
