Double Trouble Challenge #37

Today I used the inspiration from Double Trouble Challenge, The Paper Girls Challenge, and Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge to make a birthday card for my older brother.

When I think of my older brother, 
there are several things that make me happy. 
I am happy I am not as old as he is!
I am happy I am not allergic to nuts, like he is!
I am really happy I do not have as many whiskers on my chin as he does! 
He's an okay older brother and I wish him the best on his upcoming birthday.

The theme at Double Trouble Challenge #37 is fall things with an option of including a sweet treat.  Yes, the stores are full of pumpkin this and pumpkin that, most of which are sweet and delicious.  But, for me, fall means apples.  I have some awesome apple recipes, and it's time to pull them out and get baking! 
 

DTC has partnered with The Paper Girls for Challenge #37.
 The Paper Girls Challenge #183 is about the things you love about fall.


And finally, here is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch


Before I head out to the local orchard, here are a few more challenges I am entering:

  6. Hello, Debi! Your card is so cute! Apples are one of my favourite fruits - I eat them almost every day, all year long! Love your colour combo and those gorgeous stitched leaves! I am sure your brother will adore this card! I have a brother who's allergic to nuts too, severely.

  9. What a great card, Debi! Nice gender-neutral card and I'm sure your brother will enjoy his card. (I have three brothers and they like receiving my cards more than they will admit.) Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble Challenge #37.
