Tag, You're It! #91 Summer Fruits

Time again for a new challenge over at Tag, You're It!  This time it's summer fruits.  My friend, Marybeth chose our theme, which made me smile because she lives in the same area of California where my great great uncle owned an orange grove back at the turn of the last century.  I have a whole box of letters between him and my great grandfather, who stayed in Wisconsin.  Most of the news was about agriculture, weather, and politics - they were men. 

Our family loves to pick blueberries, strawberries, and cherries.  Well, as a mom, I like to think everybody enjoys it.  Perhaps they still do it just to humor me.  Anyway, We (or I) like to go up to Door County and pick tart cherries.  They are great in smoothies, and cobbler, but best of all is when my husband makes his own maraschino cherries!  They're so good, and taste nothing like the ones in the store.

I cut the cherries out on the Silhouette and colored them with Copics.  The little die cut tag was ink blended with Distress ink and spritzed with water over the white heat embossed sentiment.
