Happy Teapot Tuesday everyone....
We are on our way to Hampton Hills, New Hampshire to find out who or what the bad apple is that keeps putting Miss Annie Mae Appleseed (descendant of Johnny Appleseed) on her Fannie - check out the whole story here - Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Poor little Miss Annie Mae is totally exhausted after picking Apples all day long -- she was up climbing up and falling off the ladder so many times she lost count... Something kept hissing and frightening her so badly she kept falling... Well she is done for the day and even to tired to get on her bicycle to hurry home for a nice hot bath and rest before heading on over to the Barn Dance at the Smethers Farm....
The trees, Kitty and Miss Annie Mae are stickers. I cut the two apples from DP. Drew in the ground and pathway, sponged on the clouds. Matted image with real red. Stamped on "Oh Happy Day". Popped up image.

So what was hissing at her? Poor Annie, too tired to even get on her bike. She must do enough cycling, those are lovely legs she's showing off. Love your little kitty cat too.

Its been a hard day's work, and I been working like a man....
You know, The Beatles, Pat Smethers could probably find it on u-tube.....I know, I know, the words are wrong but hey, this is make believe!
Annie is looking pretty good even after she's been put through the ringer by the Bad Apple. I hope Ole Jerry doesn't demand too much of her, you know shaking all around, while she's so tired...she could get smooshed if she hits the floor from complete and utter exhaustion! And something tells me ole Jerry wouldn't even know she went down! Yikes!
This is so cool.....its such a nice peaceful scene....very different from the events of the day! You can sew and you had the perfect stickers! Woot! She really looks like she is going uphill....how'd ya do that?

Great card! What a wonderful scene you created with the stickers and your artwork! Perfect depiction of the today's adventures! Lucky Annie Mae gets to head home for a soak before the party!

Very cool scene you have created here! Poor Annie Mae! Too tired to pedal home and she has to climb this hill too! At least she has beautiful scenery to look at as she walks home! Great card!

Well, this card drew all the "nuttiness" out of me. I just am admiring this scene and thinking how great you are at drawing Patricia, a talented crafter and sketcher. WOW!
All I can say is have fun at the party and get those cats out of Annie Mae's way, so she can get home and rest now. LOL Beautiful card Patricia, seriously.

What a great way to combine stickers, drawing, and other techniques. I especially like kitty surveying the scene - maybe he is in charge of the bad apples?
