Oh boy........as I am uploading this pic, I realized that I cheated BIG TIME!!!! OOPS!!!! I know I'll be back on the top of the bus after this! Dang!
For the TSC challenge, we were supposed to use apples with red, gold and brown colors. Well, I was concentrating so hard on what I could use for apples (Cuz I don't have any stamps with apples) that I forgot all about the colors!!! AACCCKKK!!!!! There is no brown or gold on my card! Again......AACCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
If you look really close, you can see the "apples" in the back of my wittle pick up truck........At least they are RED like apples!!! LOL!
I sponged the background using handmade templates for the grass and clouds. Then, I stamped and cut out the pick up and the "apples". I pop dotted them onto the card. The pick up has Glossy Accents on the windows and Silver Metallic pen for the "chrome".
I stamped the tree on the card and then again and cut out. I added "apples" to the tree and the ground. I stamped other trees and the sentiment. Added an MS fence border and punched swirly things. I also used the ticket corner punch for the corners.
I tried.....BUS DRIVER....I REALLY TRIED!!!!!
What do you think?

So fun Lesley, your scene is wonderful! Don't worry, you might even be better off at the back of the bus, 'cause that way you won't get any apple seeds stuck in your hair! Just try to be good and don't be tempted to join in the spitball fight and Shirley might let this one slide!
OMGosh, Lesley, your scene is so fabulous, and I love the apples falling from the tree. I've been home alone with a sick child, and haven't seen the TSC, but I've accidentally 'forgotten' the rules before, lol, so I bet you'll be let off with a warning!!!

Lesley, you did a fabulous job on your fall scene. Love how you made your apple tree with apples on the ground and those clouds are fabulous.
Cute fence and borders. I don't suppose I will put you back on the top of the bus for not using brown and gold.

WAIT!!! I think the tree trunk is brown! And, can't you see a gold tooth in that lady's mouth?!!! How clever you are, Lesley!! You changed an oak tree into an apple tree and pumpkins into apples!! You should get an AWARD for creativity for this challenge card!!! Love it!!!

Les, I don't care what the color challenge was supposed to be; since when did we ever worry about rulz???? You created a sweet scene and I agree with the others, those clouds are absolutely perfect!
