One of my son’s birthdays is coming up, so this week’s challenge at Our Creative Corner fit in perfectly with the need to make him a card.

I love this old truck image.  It reminds me so much of the pickup that my DH drove in high school when we were dating… you know… back in the olden days!  Had fun coloring it with Copics.

And growing up in Washington State, who didn’t have an apple tree or two in their yard!  I remember the Red Delicious apples my dad grew.  They were HUGE, seriously, the size of cantalopes.  The weight of the apples would bend the branches so low.  He would put poles under them to hold them up to keep the fruit from resting on the ground.  He loved his apples and would eat them everyday.  He didn’t like the peel though and could wind around and around the apple with a paring knife to make one long peel.  As a little girl I delighted in watching him do this.  Wonderful memories of simpler times…

Happy Birthday, Gary!
