Fabulous FMS500

Hey peeps, happy Friday!  The Freshly Made Sketches challenge is celebrating 500 challenges!  Woohoo! Congrats to them! They are an extremely talented team and I enjoy playing with them often, so of course, I had to play along this week (there are prizes too!)!  I will say this card started out as something totally different; didn't like the first attempt, changed it up a bit; didn't like that one either, and so this is not what I had planned at all but by 11pm, I was ready to call it a day!  So first, the sketch:


And here we go:


Bumblebee and Cajun Craze with accents of Copper foil are my color palette.  I stamped some images from Little Delights and Banner Year on the Bumblebee panel, embellished it with a stitched copper panel, then diecut a Cajun Craze Stitched Leaves leaf and added a foil bow from Pierced Blooms dies:


The sentiment from All Things Fabulous was heat embossed with copper embossing powder and diecut with the Ornate Frames dies; it look a little plain, so I added some Pierced Blooms leaves:


The Very Vanilla panel is also embossed with the Checks embossing folder.  I really want to use this sketch some more...it's so versatile!  Congrats again to the FMS team--here's to 500 more!  Thanks for visiting today!

Our eggplant crop was prolific this year, unlike many past years; this was only about half of what we harvested from our little garden:


So yesterday morning, I spent making eggplant parmigiana to put in the freezer:


Lots of work, but definitely worth it come wintertime!  Then Cassidy and my great-niece Emma played Uno...for about five minutes (Emma's attention span was a little short yesterday!):


Enjoy your day and be blessed!

  1. Your card is another just beautiful example of how well you work with Sketches, LeAnne! Loving all these colors - I am a big fan of curry and these make my taste buds yearn for it!
    Know what else I love? Starts with E and ends with A!
    UNO!

  3. I love fall colors - and I love this card! The stitching is perfect around the leaf! I will be thinking of you in February when you are eating eggplant parm and I am dialing Pizza Hit!

  6. Those falling leaves and autumnal colours are great LeAnne and I love the touches of copper and brick texture too. Almost as appealing as those aubergine parmigianas - this is my most favourite dish of all time, so I'm definitely inviting myself round for dinner at yours sometime soon (I wish!)
