Some yummy thanks

I've been slowly learning to be more confident in the kitchen (one area I struggle with due to my depression/anxiety) and I've discovered a fondness for baking. Probably because I have a major sweet tooth and baking usually means I get to eat at least some of the results of my hard work :D

My Husband arrived home from work the other day with a big box of apples which a lady he works with had given to him from her apple tree. I was really touched at her generosity and set to work planning what to make. I settled on Apple Turnovers as I had some puff pastry in the freezer that needed using and I knew hubby had some clotted cream ice cream in the freezer that would be delicious with them served warm.

To say thank you I made a little card using the 'Love Notes' that Stampin'Up! have recently retired. I used some dotty paper from my stash together with Choc Chip cardstock (SU!), and my new fave punch - the corner rounder. The scallop circles are Old Olive (SU!) and I used a Thank U sentiment from my 'Little Bit of Everything' stamp set (SU!). The apple was made by stamping an image from the 'Tart & Tangy' stamp set (SU!) onto the dotty paper and cutting it out and placing it onto the same image stamped in choc chip ink.

My Husband told me today that 'the apple lady' was chuffed to bits with the card and has put it up on her noticeboard at work :D

I've decided to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamps Challenge (Simon Says Give Thanks) and also the Tiffany Doodles #5 - Fall Theme Challenge.
