Seize the Birthday #217-Embossing Folder

Hello Crafters,

Before I get to our next topping we have a little announcement to make.

As you all have probably heard by now, Feedburner will no longer be managing any subscriptions starting July 1st. What does that mean? If you normally receive our posts through email, this feature will no longer be available to you.

We have a few solutions for you. You can sign up on the right-hand side of the blog with our new follow it email, and or, you can also choose to follow us over on Instagram and our Facebook page as well.

We really appreciate all your support of this challenge and we hope that you will continue to be inspired and play along with us for many years to come.

Fun fact that this challenge blog has been going strong since December of 2012!

Now to our topping that was selected by the fabulous Ashwini!

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!

Seize the Birthday #216-Nautical

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday! Before I get to our next topping I would like to take a moment and welcome Melanie Hungerford, our next Surprise Party Guest. Melanie, we are thrilled to have you with us for the next couple of months.

Melanie Hungerford

Here is a bit about her:

Hello! I’m Melanie from Surprise, Arizona. I’m addicted to all things card making – and it seems no matter how much time I spend, there is always more to learn, try, and unfortunately, to buy! I work from home as a bookkeeper, and when I’m not busy with that I am either in my craft room, walking my dog, reading, or watching a baseball game. I enjoy playing along in challenges and learn a lot from all the different designers and the other entries. I look forward to sharing some of my cards with you here at Seize the Birthday!

Now onto our great topping that was selected by Lindsey!
