my apple card

Happy Saturday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. We had a potent storm roll through the Pittsburgh area yesterday afternoon. There were thunderstorms and high-speeed winds that took done trees, power lines and sheared roofs. The wind speed topped at 86 mph.

The hardest hit area was south of the city which is where I live. We were fortunate in that nothing happened to our property but others were not so fortunate. People had trees fall on their homes, crash through their roof or just uproot. We had such unseasonably warm temps earlier in the day and then a cold front came with these severe thunderstorms.

It's really cold today and so overcast , but the storms are done.

My card for today is for 3 challenges:

1.  The Saturday inspiration challenge tooks us to Crate Label Museum site. I found this great apple label and used it as my card inspiration. I had an apple applique and some apple buttons as well as apple designer paper.

2.  The next challenge was on the crazy 4 challenges blog. They provided a sketch for us to use this week. It was fun to work with and fit my card idea well.

3.  The next challenge was on our daily bread designs blog. We were to use something that was recycled. I used a scripture verse (Acts 14:17)that I cut out from the 2008 Lang Country Sampler calendar. It was shaped like a banner and I thought the words fit my apple image. I will use this card when someone needs encouragement.
I added a little ribbon tab and finished off my card.

 It's time to close this post since we are going to watch one of my grandsons play some basketball this afternoon. Baseball starts next week for all 3 of them.
