A New Challenge Team - Seize The Birthday

Whoops - this post is for THURSDAY - you get an early preview from me.


Well, check it out!  I am now on the Seize The Birthday Challenge Team!!  [I can't seem to stop myself from getting on Teams - I love to stamp! ;)]  With this challenge, [always anything goes] there is an additional, optional challenge; The Topping!

This time it's Water.
I love the beach - living in Arizona, there is no.such.thing. - and I do miss the beach.  To get my fix, I make beach cards :).

Here is my "topping" - but..... it has to also [always] be a birthday card.  Easy--

Just stamp the inside :).
I used Inspired By Stamping, Seaside Sentiments and a really [really] old hb from Mike's.

Now, pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog, check out what my new Team Members made, and then, play along on THURSDAY!  I'm looking forward to being on this challenge team.  Thanks Nancy [and team] - for the opportunity!


Thanks for stopping by~

Welcome, Vicki to this new gig! You're card is amazing,the colors you used and all the blending is just perfect. WOW, stunning first card as a designer for Seize the Birthday! Heart Hugs, Colleen

Cheering and applauding your new DT role Seize the Birthday! More eye-candy for us to gaze at and admire...like this gorgeous beach scene that transports us right to the water's edge! Amazing blending; fabulous colours. Living in the mountains, we, too, are a long way from anything 'beach'. Today, however, we're heading to visit my mother-in-law, and I have walks along the beach in Kelowna on my radar (along with a visit to a REAL craft supply store!).
Hugs~c

Ruth said...

Congratulations on your new team :) I love your water/sea/beach cards. Particularly love the simplicity of the second - just a sentiment and some blue ink. Perfect. Xx
