It's apple picking time

There is that crisp Fall air around here today and my mind turned to apple picking time.  The only apples I pick are off of the store shelves but if I would ever get a grandkid, hint, hint I would take them apple picking.  So with that in mind I used Mary Brown's idea of a pumpkin made out of the Gift Bow Die and turned it into an apple.  We will making pumpkins at club next week, they are adorable too.

I used the Beautifully Baroque Embossing folder on the sections of the apple and Real Red Coredinations paper.  Lightly sanded and it looks like no apple I have ever seen.  Really made it special.  The leaves are punched from the Mosaic Punch and trimmed a bit and embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  It is all held together with Sticky Strip and really goes together quickly.  I think I will make these along with the pumpkins for my Thanksgiving table.

Finally available for ordering starting today!

The waiting is over! Beginning today, September 12, the  Magnetic Platform
for the Sizzix Big Shot #130658 will be available for ordering.  It’s been on 
back order for a couple of months, due to the supplier not being able to keep 
up with the incredible demand for this fabulous tool. Right now, they are 
caught up with a new shipment  and and you can finally get yours.  I 
wouldn't hesitate who knows how long this supply will last, it is really that 
fabulous. I use mine almost every time I stamp.
