Hi, Friends.....

Did you get some cards made for World Card Making Day? I managed to get two of them done in the morning before our Annual Community Apple Cider Pressing event. Cider making is the highlight of autumn up here in our tiny mountain community, with games and activities for the kids while older youth and the adults work with the apples. Our neighbor, a honey producer, opens up his "honey house" and lets us use his roomy facilities for the work.

Apples are collected from the trees around here....both cultivated and "wild"....and we all help throughout the afternoon with the various parts of prep work and running the three cider presses (one electric and the others hand-crank). This is the first year I didn't work on the washing, sorting, trimming crew.....I was on the donut crew, instead. We always serve fresh, hot-from-the-oil homemade maple bars......SO YUMMY!!! After helping with cleanup, we all go home with several gallons of fresh cider. OH, YUM!!! It takes a lot of hands to make this all happen but it is so much fun. It's about the only thing that would snag me away from staying home all day and making cards on WCMD!!! lol....

Here's a card I made for a friend's birthday that's coming up soon. I pulled out a small bag of coordinating scraps from my stash and put together this autumny card. Even though it doesn't have the traditional seasonal colors of orange and gold, I think it has a fall vibe to it with the muted brights and warm, vintage shading.

Supplies used include:
Unity - "Happy birthday, pretty lady" from Sabrina {fashionista}
Versafine ink in Onyx Black
Scraps of K&Co., DCWV, and Core'dinations/Darice patterned paper and cardstock

Thank you for stopping by today. Don't forget to be getting ready for the 2019 Cat Lovers Hop!! Details at the top of this post.
