My first card using today's set is a Side-Step Rocker card.   Side-Step cards are fun to make -- this one has a little bit of a twist to it.  I found that patterned paper at Michaels; it was the perfect DP for this apple-themed card.  I've already mailed this card to one of the nurses in my doctor's office.  I was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and she conducts the all-day diabetes education class.  It was very informative, and she made it fun as well.

Both of my cards today wound up being thank-you cards.  One of the sentiment stamps in this fall set is a collage of apple-related phrases.

I hope you found lots of inspiration this week.  Be sure to check out the blogs of the rest of the design team.  Remember, if you comment on their blogs, you may win one of this month's stamp sets.
