Oh, Joanne...she is young enough to think fifty is old. Kinda cute, eh? This Rubber Romance beauty has become my go-to image for birthdays, and at work, it is "expected" that the Hottie Chef, as we lovingly call her, must be at the party!
Today we also celebrate the sweet Bensarmon as QFTD! Sue, your gallery is so much fun to shop in, and I was inspired by this card, as I have never tried this TLC. Your gorgeous reds leaped out to me and drew me in! Congrats to you! It is a pleasure to see your wonderful gallery in a place of honor. Hugs....
This week the Twisted Sisters are also challenging one another to make fancy-schmancy corners. So I added some miniature flatware from HL, and a bit of bling. (also known as "bling-age" in Canada!) I through in a few Dare to Get Dirty Challenges as well. And if you have not heard, there is still time to play and win some fab prizes! Really! Check this out!!!
Thanks for looking!

Mmm, mmm! If I could just pick off that little knife and fork from the front of your card and dig into that delish looking cake, I'd be doing that right now! Fabulous layering, fabulous die cuts, (I like the way you cut the focal panel down to fit) and beautiful colors! This card is chocolate cake for the eyes!

She definitely is a Hottie Chef - what fun to have a tradition at work like this - they are going to freak when you are able to move to greener pastures! Love this card! Wonderful way to do the flowers and that corner! Delish! Hugz and LYMI!!!

Good thing I'm still full from dinner or I'd be huntin' down that cake in real life. What a great card! Love the image, the vines, and your choice of papers.

Oh, my WORD! So glad I looked you up - and toured your museum of art cards. And then, the creative, literate patter in your descriptions, what beautiful harmonies you post! Favorite this, and that, and I'll be following. Thank you SO much for your kindnesses during DTGD!
