    These are beautiful! Love how you did the embossing layers and how perfect to have an apple embossing folder for the apple.

    Such pretty cards. Love the texture from the embossing. Of course as a schoolie the apple card is my favourite. I used to have a student who every so often would bring me a perfect apple with a little tag attached - Mrs Short's Bribe. It never changed anything but it did make me laugh.
