Hi, everyone! It's a pleasure to be able to take a little break from chores on this Tuesday to share a slice of my life with you. It's October, and apples are in season! So, first up I have an apple-related layout (pictured above) to share with you.

I based my page design on the current sketch from Sketchbook 365.

And my color scheme comes from The Color Room.
My layout commemorates a trip that my family made last year to a heritage orchard. We attended an apple tasting, and we got to sample all kinds of apples in all kinds of forms. In my journaling, I noted each family member's favorite: slices of Yellow Transparent apples, canned Malinda apples, and crab apple jelly.
I upcycled the negative portions of different alphabet sticker sheets to add interest to my layout.
Of course, working on this layout made me crave apples. I satisfied that craving with a cup of apple cider. I prefer a dark, rich, cloudy apple cider, as you see from the photo.
I made my "Apple Tasting" layout over the weekend, and then I thought I'd be done with apples for awhile. But yesterday I met a friend for lunch, and I ended up ordering apple pizza. I never had anything like this before. My pizza was topped with bleu cheese, crumbled bacon, apple slices, and walnuts. Yum!
The restaurant where I got my apple pizza (Café 318) is near Lake Minnetonka. It was such a beautiful day yesterday, and I got a great picture of the deep blue lake, with autumn trees in the background. I just wanted to share the photo with you before I sign off. I'll be linking this photo up with Our Beautiful World, where the theme this week is "October."
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a great day!

Love the color combination on your lay-out! Pink red and green are very striking together...and that pizza sounds pretty yummy too!
I also love thick, rich apple cider. I make my own, too.
Your apple layout is fantastic. I like how you used the negatives of those stickers. A gal after my own heart. I've been known to do that, too. Clever!
That pizza sounds wonderful, even though I just returned from lunch with my friend. I would be glad to try some of that. And that lake is so BLUE!!
Thanks for sharing T with me today.
Дегустация яблок! Как это здорово! Мне тоже захотелось))) Дениз после твоих страничек мне хочется всегда делать, что я там вижу!))) Пицца сплошной креатив, ничего подобного не видела, хотя люблю эксперименты) И вид на озеро и осенние деревья сногсшибателен!!!
Beautiful photo, and the pizza looks good too...yum!!
Great photo of the lake! It was such a beautiful day and you really captured well.
What a wonderful and pretty layout!!
I like cider too, just bought some today to enjoy during our cooler temps this week.
What a gorgeous view!
Happy T day!
Great page, Denise!
You were less than 2 miles from my house when you got your apple pizza. And to think I've never ate there. :) Isn't it funny how you never do what is right around you because you think...I've got time to do that ANYTIME.
I just noticed the comment from Ann...was that who you met? We went to high school together!! Small world.
^ YES! Small world indeed.
Lovely layout that goes so well with this season. The pizza looks yum and love the picture of the lake.
Love the colors of the LO and beautiful photo!
Страничка - прелесть, Дениз! Ткань так здорово сочетается! Пицца с яблоком (не пробовала), вероятно, вкуснотище! Фото озеро чудесное, как и само озеро (прямо и мне туда захотелось - кафе, озеро,пицца - чудесный вечер!!!
Lovely photo of the lake! And that pizza looks delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Our Beautiful World!
Hello, Denise!
Thanks, my dear!
Great interpretation of the sketch! Love those colors combination, so nice!
And you gave a gorgeous touch with the little details.
What a beautiful October day, I love apple cider too, my favorite one used to be at the farmers market just right outside the Juilliard School every Saturday, now that I am not in NYC anymore, I go for my second best at William Sonoma, they have a pretty good one in the bottle this time of the year.
Thanks for sharing your fun projects too, and thanks for linking up at Our Beautiful World.
