Through The Craft Room Door ~ Simply Betty Stamps

"Fairy Tiffany" can be purchased for about $3 over at the Milk & Coffee's Etsy Page. They have lots of amazing images so make sure to click on their name to check them all out.

Hello Blogland,

Today over at the Through The Craft Room Door challenge blog we are starting a new challenge. Our challenges are always "Anything Goes" so make sure to enter for a chance of winning some awesome prizes. Doodle Pantry is our sponsor this week and I chose a sweet digital image called "Tree Glee 2" I specifically choose this image because my mom has always called me her "Little Apple" since we have been so close and are so alike. I didn't fall far from the tree either :-)

I want to say a quick THANK YOU to Tammy from Handmade By TLC for giving me some guidance this week. I just recently met Tammy through our blogging and we are now also both part of the new Treasured Times Inspirational Design Team. So she has given me some advice on how to better my cards and that is what motivated me to try a shaped card this week :-)

Here is my sweet little apple card. I will be giving this to my mom very soon. She is the "Apple of my eye" and I love her dearly. I am so fortunate to live close to her now after being apart for 20 years due to location.

Materials Used:

Silhouette Cut File # 60416 (enlarged)

Su! Dies and Punches

Echo Park Country Drive designer paper

Recollections Roses

Ribbon & Flowers from stash

Here is a close up of the coloring. I watched a neat youtube video to learn how to color the apples. I love the way they turned out. 

Here is the inside of my card. I love matching the insides to the outside :-)
