Congrats to Lynn, aka justbehappy. She is our FS for the week. I had to jump around her enormous gallery (800 plus uploads) until I found this cute little gem on almost the last page:

Well this is just darling! I tell ya, I just love Italian food, in fact, I got outed on it on this very site...Hmmm, I wonder who could've done that!?! Ha! Now, for this wonderful little creation...I love how your cake extends outside your panel and the red and white checked paper just screams Italiana! Those little corner punches make the whole thing look like one darling little menu....did you plan all of that out or did it just naturally fall in to place? Either way, this is one rockin' card....and YOU are one rockin' cardmaker! ;) Ciao!

I really like this. Many wouldn't think of just doing the top half of the chef. It adds interest and it's a neat tweak on a classic design. I added to my favorites to give it a try.
