Happy Holidays

We know this year hasn't been easy and we really appreciate all your support during these crazy times.  Our love for paper crafting has made for a little escape the past ten months or so, and we are looking forward to returning to you all, hopefully regenerated, in 2021. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Seize the Birthday #203- 1, 2, and 3

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!  Before I get to our topping we have a new Surprise Party Guest starting with us. Please help me in welcoming Julie Peddicord to the team for the months of November and January. 

Welcome, Julie!

Here is a bit about her...

Hello everyone!  My name is Julie (Jules to many) and I’m very excited to be joining Seize the Birthday for the next couple of months!  A little about me --- In addition to being Mom to two grown children, I’m Grandma to one and Fur Mom to four.  I’m also very fortunate to be married to one extremely patient and supportive man.  My two favorite pastimes include card making and reading, both of which have proved beneficial in these trying times of 2020.  I love to participate in online card challenges and I’m excited to play along here and hopefully get to know you all.  Thank you, Nancy, for inviting me!   

    Our "Toppings" option this time is...

 

This is a fun one, but let us explain it a bit for you!

 

 1 die cut, punch or stencil

2 colours (excluding neutrals)

3 embellishments (same or different)

Everything else is open!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

The choice is yours!

If you chose to use the topping please let us know with an explanation in your post! Thanks!
