PTI Fruitful Gets a Workout...Even the Pear!

I wanted to make my mother-in-law a set of notecards for Mother's Day, so I pulled out Papertrey's Fruitful set and made a super-simple set using a classic clean-and-simple layout. I varied the images, sentiments (from Everyday Classics), and colors for a set of 10, but I'll only show four because I think you'll get the idea.

Some I rock-and-rolled.


Some I just stamped.

Most have normal fruit.


One does not.


Yep. I used a pear. My mother-in-law was not an English major and therefore is unlikely to have my weird aversion to pear images. In fact, I bet she walks past them in the grocery store without giggling in a helplessly juvenile fashion. I bet she eats them without a single naughty thought entering her head.

And since she doesn't read this blog, we can leave it that way.

OLW Reminder!!!!

  5. I had to go back and reread your pear post. So funny.

    I love this card set, especially the peach that you rock and rolled. I need to try this technique. It looks so beautiful.

  7. I will never eat another pear without thinking of you. In fact, I will never eat another pear, period. You have completely ruined pears for me, you naughty girl. BUT, I still love the card!

  12. Well, I'm going to have to CAS these as I have this set, too. Hmmm, wonderful what I'll be thinking about as I stamp - you bad girl. (Not really - you know I love ya!)

  13. I wanna' see the other 6! These 4 are so pretty, colorful, and different from regular notecards that I love them. The rock'nrolled peach is so lovely! The sentiments are perfect, both in words and size to the fruit. Your MIL will squeal with pleasure. And if she gets a little twinkle in her eye when she sees the pear, you'll know she follows "Simplicity"!

  17. You crack me up! I never thought I would look at a a pear in an innocent way after reading your first post about them way back when. But I ate a pear yesterday without a naughty thought in my head. That just changed! And the guys working in our basement right next to my doorless office think I am crazy for laughing at my computer! Thanks for the giggle!

  18. Sorry, I couldn't resist a second post. The pear card would make a great Valentine for you to give to George. It does say "Thinking of you today"! heehee!

  20. While I am so impressed that you managed to make a pear card without laughing too hard to stamp it properlyly ;) my favourite card is that rock-and-rolled peach. Wow! Makes it look so realistic.

  21. Love all these cards, even the {pear}. When I first started stamping, it seemed like every. stinking. image. was a version of a pear, and I bought it. I have purged my stash so I might have only one or two left.

    Now I shall giggle uncontrollably when I see these. Thank you! :)
