Club Scrap September Orchard Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly

Club Scrap Blog Hop.

The theme this month is: Orchard.

I hope you have arrived here from 

Pam's Blog

and have been amazed by her artwork.

I have been playing with the ALSB scrapbooking

pages. This is a wonderful way of getting the most 

out of your papers/ ALSB stands for Assemblyline

Scrapbooking and on the Club Scrap site you find 

information about it HERE.

This time of the year the apples are ripe

and the apples are an important symbol for

the Jewish New Year, that was celebrated last week.

I stamped with real apples, acrylic paint and the grandchildren.

I was using their stamping to make cards.

Together with Owen I baked a special round braided bread,

that symbolizes the circle of life.

We also eat apples with honey to wish each other a very

happy and sweet year.

So hear you see the stamping of the boys

and Owen is holding the result.

These are a few of the finished cards:

I asked Owen to stamp with a few sentiments and

bees in black all over the page, then cut them up in 

4x5,5 inch panels and made these into cards for all

the parents and grandparents.

The tiny apple is a paper punch.

On the right you see a stamped border I created.

First I used the Club Scrap honeycomb stencil with

yellow and orange ink. Then I used several stamp

to make a collage on top. All the stamps come with

this kit, excepy the tiny bee (Michael Strong).

We also went to an orchard nearby to do some apple picking

for applesauce and apple pie. And I even adopted a tree so

we can even do more picking next year!

My daughter and her apples!

And of course i wanted a picture of Ray and me picking

apples too! Owen also had fun getting the apples of the tree.

On this panel I tried this month technique of

shaving cream marble technique with stencils,

but I am not very happy with the result.

Even though you dio not see the marbling to well, 

the panel looks nice on the page. I got the right part of 

the apple a little litter by using some bleach on it.

Nowit is time to see what 

Jennifer's Blog

has in store for you. I am sure you will be inspired.

Thanks for looking and have a creative day!
