Elisabeth Bell's Apple Bake Digi Bells' Blog Hop

To celebrate the newest addition to Elisabeth Bell's Digital Gallery (here), the Digi Bells Design Team is hosting a blog hop.

How can you win your own Apple Bake digi image?  You'll have to hop through and leave comments on EACH blog.  [You can find the full list of 11 other blogs at the Digi Bells Design Team blog (here).]  Lynda will pick 3 blogs at random and the winners will be picked from those comments. The hoppers will have until June 29, 2012 at 9 AM to leave comments. The winners will be posted at the Digi Bells' blog on Saturday, June 30, 2012.

Reminder:  Buying then sharing digital images is theft.  Sharing digital images takes income away from the artist.

I've used Apple Bake on the front of a side open card.  Cardstock and Bo Bunny Double Dots textured papers are layered with older Stampin' Up! Summer Picnic patterned paper to provide the perfect apple-themed background.  I've used the deckle edge rotary blade on my Purple Cow paper trimmer to give the appearance of torn paper throughout my card elements and image.    A basket spilling fresh apples is sprinkled with apple blossoms.  A Close To My Heart Fruitful Delight "apple" sentiment pairs up with a Crafty Secrets Tea with Alice large set "Yum" sentiment.  A Creative Imaginations "From My Kitchen with Love" grosgrain ribbon adds a nice bow to one corner.  Home Pro golden metal corners adorn a corner of a card layer and my image.

A QuicKutz basket die cut on its side is spilling Sizzix chipboard die cut apples to show the fresh apples leftover after making this scrumptious pie.  Some handmade punched apple blossoms are scattered throughout this apple cluster that includes a QuicKutz die cut pie.  The wonderful shine and dimension added to the basket, pie and paper covered chipboard apples is easily added with a layer of Glossy Accents.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Apple Bake digi image in my usual Classically Shabby style . . .
