I made this 5″ x 7″ card for a color challenge including the colors of Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Petal Pink. The vase die came from the Welcome Inn dies, an add on to the June 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit. The Calypso Coral layer is embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder. Gold Festive Pearls decorate the pot. I lightly sponged the background with Daffodil Delight and then stamped off twice before stamping the foliage around the edges. All the foliage is from the dies in the Winter Meadow Suite.

The Winter Meadow Suite is not just for Christmas and Winter cards although I’ve made a lot of those too. Here’s a few of my favorites:

This is a beautiful tree from our early morning walk this morning.

I have trouble not taking pictures of all the pretty trees! When I was in Ireland, it was taking pictures of sheep and flowers.

We finally made it to Steve’s 60th birthday on Wednesday. We celebrated each day with a little gift or note for 60 days and then our trip to Ireland. The final celebration was dinner with Ryan and Bree at Jethro’s and some Culver’s frozen custard. Oh yea, they beat us bad at partner Cribbage and then we came back and won a game. Birthday is done and dusted and Steve is actually embracing being 60. Miss ion accomplished! 🙂

Warm Apple Cake Recipe- I usually make it a little healthier now.  I use 1 cup almond flour.

Steve and I got married 37 years ago and the only bridal shower gift that I remember is a 9″ x 13″ aluminum baking pan with lid and this hand written recipe. (Thanks Susan Egel) I’ve literally made this recipe at least 100 times and Steve just requested it this week for his 60th birthday cake. Yep, it’s that good!

OK, so I’ve spilled on it a bit and it is well loved. When I go to a Bridal Shower I always get the bride some things off her Bridal Registry because I want her to get what she wants. I was pondering today: should I instead get the Bride a 9″ x 13″ covered aluminum cake pan and this recipe? You can get the pan here. From now on future brides, I’m giving you what you’ll cherish for years to come instead of something you want off your Bridal Registry that you’ll never remember 37 years later. 🙂 Yes, I still use the pan all the time, too!

I’ve been making this cake every Fall for my BSF groups for about the last 15 years. If you’ve had my Warm Apple Cake or would like to have it some day, please leave me a comment. I would also like to hear your favorite recipe of all time. I have modified the recipe a bit over the years to make it healthier. When I made it on Sunday I used 3/4 cup olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I used 1 cup almond flour and 1 cup Einkorn Whole Wheat flour instead of 2 cups of white flour. I also used 1 cup monk fruit sweetener and 1 cup sugar instead of 2 cups of sugar. This recipe is very forgiving, you do you, and make it any way you want. I like to serve it warm. Hope you’ll try it.

My dear BSF friend, Crystal Tommingo, looked at my original recipe and thought I needed a new copy. Thanks for making this beautiful copy, Crystal. You’re the sweetest!
