Pick of the Patch!

Welcome to another week here. It wouldn't be fall without a week of pumpkin projects, would it? So, to start it off, here is a cute little shape card we made.

Who wouldn't like being told they are the pick of the patch? I know I would. I love how it came out, with a little bit of the added texture on the pumpkin pieces. The card measures 5 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cupcake Saturday!

Happy Saturday! We are thrilled that you stopped by today, and we think you're in for a treat! OK, well, today's cupcakes are so good! We made Apple Crumb cupcakes for today:

How delicious do these look?! These are a vanilla cupcake with apple chunks baked inside. The apples make them healthy, right?? Here's what makes these cupcakes a-mazing- the crumb topping! Now, I don't know about anyone else, but we have always been the one to pick the crumb topping off of everything. All those pies and danish...We start with the biggest crumbs, and pretend no one notices. And then get all sad when there is no topping left. True story. Alright, back to the topic at hand. These cupcakes are totally delicious and it gives you a good reason to have a cupcake in the morning!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Join us tomorrow in the pumpkin patch, for a new week of projects!

An Autumn Apple Harvest Party!

Thank goodness it's finally Friday! I hope everyone had a great week and is ready for the weekend with some fun plans. I know that this is much later than we normally post, but we've both been busy working, so it took a little longer than normal to finish today's project. Mostly because there are a few different parts to it. Today's project(s) go along with Tuesday's apple favors.
So, this is a pretty long post. There are quite a few pictures to it, too. We decided that we were going to do a "party pack", which, if you look on Etsy, is usually a whole bunch of printable images, and you put everything together to make a cohesive, matching party. We thought that instead of having to print everything out, it's not so bad if someone else does all of the work. I have never actually seen one of these "parties" in person, but I don't know, I just think this would add more *flair* to a party. If that makes sense.
To begin with, we created some invitations and thank you notes for our party. How cute are these?! They are multi-layered, which adds a nice touch. I love how the thank you note's tree is bare. All the apples were picked and ready to be made into a pie!!

So, the next few pictures aren't great, but I think they get the point across.

So, here's what else we included. We threw together a banner, which reads ""Happy Birthday", and the space is a bushel of apples. I actually love this color combination together, and it totally reminds me of fall and apples, and all that "good stuff"! We also designed some straw tags, bottle wrappers, and cupcake wrappers. We also made some cupcake picks and table tents.Here is they are all based on the same design, with four different apple images:

How cute are these designs?! I must say, one of the best feelings when we're crafting is having an idea and seeing it work out, and loving the final product. That's what happened here with these apples. They're all actually based off of the same apple, just with a few changes here and there, and voila- three different images!
And the last image we'll share with you:

These are the place card holders we created. You need to know where your guests will sit at the party, right? These place card holders will do just the trick. I cut out 15 apple shapes for each one and cut off the stems and leaves from them. Then, I folded them in half and glued them (on the outside of the fold) to each other. The card sits nicely on the apples and they add a cut little touch to the table. They could also be made bigger and used as decorations around the house.
Phew! Now time to start the next packs! We have a whole ton more planned, especially with the holidays coming up! Can't wait to start those! Anyway, thanks so much for looking! Come back tomorrow for another Cupcake Saturday!

Beware...

I know I said earlier that Halloween wasn't going to come on the blog for a couple of weeks, but we do have one project this week that is Halloween-ish. Oh well. Here's today's project.

I saw this saying somewhere, pinterest probably, and thought it would make a great little wall hanging. I love the spider web punch-around-the-page accent and the glittery apples. I just wish that the B's cut out correctly. No matter how many times I tried, the insides didn't cut out. Oh well. The glitter definitely helps to take your eye away from them.

Oh and Happy Birthday to our littlest cousin, who is celebrating his 1st birthday today!

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Layout

Good morning! I hope everyone's week is going fast. Only a few more days until the weekend. We have another project to help get you through. Here's today's layout.

They say that the apple never falls far from the tree. Well, I suppose unless someone climbed up it and threw the apples down, they might fall away from it, but that's another story. Anyway, this is such a fun little fall layout. I think apple-picking pictures with the family would look great on here, or maybe the little ones helping mom and dad with some fall clean-up around the yard.

Thanks for stopping by!

Favor Time!

Good morning, everyone! We're back today with another quick apple project for you. Here is our apple favor.

We used the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge (yup, that's the ice cream cone) for these favors. These would look great on a table at a fall or harvest-themed party. They surprisingly hold quite a bit, too. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Bushels of Fun!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We are continuing our apple-themed week with this fun little layout.

 

I love apple picking in the fall. Sure, you can go to the store and pick up a bag of apples, but there's nothing like spending the day at a farm, in between the trees, looking for the right ones. And then when you get home, thinking, "What in the world am I going to do with all these apples?!" Apple crisp, apple pies, apple dumplings... ok, anything with apples in it! Then when everything is in the oven, there's just enough time to scrapbook the trip to the orchard, right?
