Seize the Birthday #256 Red, White Plus One Color

Hello crafter, JoAnn here!

Our "Topping" option this time is...red, white plus one color. This is the month of Valentines', so I thought this would be a good color challenge and you get to pick your final color!

**We also have Claire A. with us today. She was the overall winner of our last challenge. Welcome, Claire! We are so happy to have you!

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 #255 Use your Initials

Happy Thursday crafty friends, Glenda here!

I am trying out something different this week. I want you to add an element that starts with one of your initials. For example - my initials are GJW so I could use things such as green, garden, jungle, jars, water, waves, etc.

You can also use your first and last initial or perhaps all three, as a few of our

Design Team Members have done.

Lots of options, so I hope you have some fun with it!

*Along with our usual Surprise Party Guest-Stephanie, we also have Melanie Hungerford with us today. She was the overall winner of our last challenge. Welcome, Melanie! We are happy to have you also!

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!

Winner's # 254-Candles

Thank you everyone for playing along with our candles challenge, it was so fun to go through and see all the cards with and ones without candles, you made it quite difficult for me to select just a few winners! In my book, you are all winners!

Congratulations!

Claire

I think the clean and simple part of this card really spoke to me, I love the colorful candles and then the simple sentiment with the "you" highlighted!
