Of course I'm talking about the milestone celebration at Freshly Made Sketches!! 500 SKETCHES!!! Congratulations on ten fabulous years, my FMS friends!
Speaking of friends - I've followed Linda Callahan for years and am delighted each week with every one of her brilliant FMS makes! AND she designed this fun FMS#500 for us, too!
As much as I love this big bear, I love another guy even more - today is my husband Tom's birthday!! So OF COURSE I invited him to help make this card for FMS - he did the coloring today!! [don't you love his shading?]
I'm off to celebrate the rest of his special day with him ... lots of cheers to ten more years of fun at Freshly Made Sketches!!

This adorable returns!!! And so masterfully colored. Love the way you used the sketch....all the textures. You are something else....enjoy the day with your birthday boy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM! Hope your day is as good as the coloring on this precious bear. It certainly makes this adorable card even more so. Being a sucker for dry embossing and leaves, it fairly sings to me. Wishing you the best day ever.
You know I love this bear too, and he looks fabulous among all the leaves! Great coloring Tom, and a happy, happy birthday to you!! :0)
You two should make cards together more often, this is adorable! He aced the coloring and I like the swirls happening in the background. The bit of shading under the bear's snout is perfect. I hope you spoiled Tom rotten today!
Well I am delighted that THE BEAR made an appearance for our 500th sketch! And Tom even joined in! He made that furry guy look as handsome as ever! And a Bear-y Happy Birthday to Tom! Your rich fall colors are wonderful on this fun card! So glad you joined us for our 500th Celebration - it's not a party until the bear shows up!
Super cute card today and I love that Tom helped you with it. His coloring is top notch! Happy Birthday to your hubby!
Happy Birthday Tom! Wonderful coloring job on a fantastic card! Love all of the layering and the star of the show popping in from the side! Hope you two had a wonderful day! : ) Take care and have a great week!
Hugs - Red : )
Happy belated birthday to Tom! I hope you had a fantastic day celebrating! Toms did an outstanding job on the coloring. And your card is just wonderful Michele. That bear has so much personality. The leaves looks great as does the beautifully swirly embossing folder. :)
Tom did a great job of coloring this sweet bear! He's my favorite (the bear, I've never met Tom)! Love the rusty colors and all that texture and dimension of the leaves. Hope you had an especially fun day celebrating!
The perfect collaboration card and you are right. This is a Linda card! Thank you for being such a good friend to our team. It is always a joy to see you in the gallery. So glad you joined us for our 500th sketch celebration at FMS!
I love how this adorable guy peeks in to join the celebration! Thanks for celebrating this milestone challenge with us at Freshly Made Sketches and being such a faithful participant each week!
Happy Happy Birthday Tom!! Your colouring is fabulous and this sweet bear looks so very happy nestled among the autumn leaves, hope you day is just as fun!
Tell Tom I said 'Happy Birthday". How fun to make this wonderful card together. Love his coloring and the monochromatic color scheme.
How fun to let Tom color your sweet bear because it is Tom's birthday! I am sure you had fun celebrating. LOVE your sketch design celebrating 10 years and 500 sketches at FMS :-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Wonderfully fun, and even better because you both made it! Congrats, and Happy Birthday to YOUR bear!
Belated happy birthday to Tom! I hope you and Tom had a fun celebration together.
Your bear is so cute, peaking through the leaves! Tom did a great job of coloring, and you added wonderful texture and dimension!

I just love the colour and that swirly background. Excellent shading too. I hope you both enjoyed a very special day xx
I am in love with your "very old embossing folder". It's timeless. Cute, cute card. Happy Birthday Tom!
Happy Belated Birthday to Tom!!! Love this simple sketch, aren't those the best ones?! And I love your take on it Michele. This color combo is so striking and perfect since we will be moving into fall very soon. Love that embossing folder, those leaves and especially the bear that Tom colored. He did a great job! I also love the bold sentiment on the white card. Yep, really love this one! Hugs, Brenda

And once again such a cool design Michele
