Seize the Birthday #257 Card for a Child

Hello, this is Linda and it is my turn to host STB.

I would like to see a card for a child or children as it is in my case. Some of you may not know that I have 4-year-old triplet grandchildren. Come join in the fun and see all of the amazing cards by our team.

I would also like to welcome Hilary Wright, as she will be our next Surprise Party Guest for the next two months. Welcome, Hilary! We are so happy to have you!

Here is a little bit about her.

I am thrilled to have been invited to be the surprise party guest for March and April on this fabulous challenge. My name is Hilary Wright and I live in a small market town near the Suffolk coast in the UK. I first started making cards when I retired from a career in the NHS, but it took me a while to gain enough confidence to start sharing my creations on my blog (https://myfiddlingaboutpage.blogspot.com). I needn’t have worried though, as I quickly found this wonderful supportive, and encouraging community. My first post was in June 2017 and I named my blog ‘fiddling about’ because that’s what I say when I am asked what I have been doing. I love the fact that there are other people just like me out there making cards. I am really happy to be a temporary part of the wonderful DT at Seize the Birthday. Thank you so much for inviting me.

*We also have Deborah Wheeler. with us today. She was the overall winner of our last challenge using our topping. Welcome, Deborah! We are so happy to have you with us as well!

Our "Topping" option this time is...

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

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
