Apple Season

 Hi everyone. It's Friday, and it's the start of a long holiday weekend here in the US. Monday is the Labor Day holiday, as well as the end of  summer season (not the astronomical season as the equinox doesn't arrive for a few weeks).  It traditionally means schools are in session, and in my area at least, lots of seasonal places either close down or cut back on when they are open. My husband is taking today off for a longer weekend, as is my daughter and her beau. They are coming over, and we are heading out for a boat ride later today. It is supposed to be a pretty nice weekend weather wise.

I saw yesterday on Facebook that our local orchard is starting to pick apples. Another sign of changing seasons. (And there is nothing better than fresh picked apples-yum!) I was inspired after seeing that post and made this page in my garden journal.

I used a burlap page as my base, and then I added this piece of wood veneer paper from my scrap pile. It was just the right size too, so no there was no waste. The apples were die cuts made out of some flexible thick paper-like material that Tim Holtz used to make. I can't think of what he called it, and I don't think you can even buy it anymore. maybe you remember the name of it? The apples were in my stash, but I do own the die, so I die cut out the white center with the seeds for the top one.

With the various textures, I am linking up to Jo's challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Hope you have a great start to your weekend. And I also really appreciate you stopping by my blog.
