ColurQChallenge # 56



Do you think of apple pie this time of year? I know I do.
My husband has been having many stressful days at work.
I decided to surprise him and make him his favorite
apple pie with crumb topping. I even made my own crust!
 He walked in from work and said ohhh it smells so good in here! 
This is what he saw




 I burnt my arm( I am fine) and dropped the pie as I was taking it out of the oven. 
It didn't help that I was also on the phone. 
I calmly grabed the phone took a picture and decided to share it!
Many friends offered to come over and eat it off the oven door. 




 When I saw these gorgeous colors I knew I had to play at colourQ . To make my Autumn Hills I placed 3 papers together, ripped them , then spread them apart a bit .  I hand cut the house and that was pretty much it. 

The sentiment is meant for all of you!

  1. Absolutely beautiful ~ I love how you chose to accent the colors. It looks like most of the apple pie stayed in the dish, I am also willing to taste test for you!

  6. Marybeth! I am glad you are okay. Sorry that happened with your pie, I know it is a lot of work making your own pie filling and crust but it is worth it! Great card, I love that house!!

  7. So sorry about your pie. I know how much work must have gone into it. Well, at least the house smelled nice, and it looks like a lot of pie could be salvaged. Your card is really wonderful--such a great use of colors and of that stamp set. I love how you ripped the papers for those layers.

  8. Beautiful card, Marybeth, you used the set I love again! so sorry about your pie. I had that happen with a homemade pizza. I had a group of friends over for card making, most of them worked and were coming from their jobs so I made a pizza. I took it out of the oven and it slid off the pan, but did not quite make it to the floor. We did eat it and laughed about it. I think I would have scooped your pie up, put it in a dish and called it cobbler! so Sorry about your arm, hope you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing your card and story with us at the colourQ this week.

  10. Oh no!! What a bummer about the pie...and even worse about your arm. Hopefully it wasn't too painful....the arm....and busting up the pie :( I'd eat it anyway too - LOL And what a pretty fall card!

  11. First of all, your card: love it, pinned it! So fantastic!!!

    Second, please, I haven't read the other comments yet, but you've taken me down memory lane. Mine was lemon meringue - merinque! - upside down on the floor where I was trying to get out of my apartment to go deliver it to a sick friend. Made me sick, I'll tell ya.

    If your hubs is like mine, HE would have licked it off the oven door - there would be none for friends!!

    Thanks for sharing!!

  17. Oh my word! Your card is beautiful, Marybeth. I've been trying to think of what to do with these colors almost all week and keep coming up blank! You did a fabulous job with the colors.

    And, okay. My husband would probably be one of the ones coming over to eat that pie off your oven door, too! He adores pie. I'm so sorry it ended up like that - it looks like it was a masterpiece!

  18. I don't know how you kept your cool and took a photo of that pie. Bet your sweetie still had a bite too! Glad you are ok!! Love the layers of ripped edges on the border of your card - it ads a really warm feel to it - perfect with the theme!

  27. You are hilarious, and I so LOVE that you thought to take a picture of it!!! One of my all time favorite photos is the one I took of my kitchen floor with my potty training son in the background after he pooped on it (sorry for being graphic here!!) Seeing that now just cracks me up, especially knowing I don't have to clean it up : )

    Way to go on the colors for this challenge ... love the hills you tore and the trees around your house. Very pleasing scene!
