Seize the Birthday #266- Be Inspired by a Book

Hello Crafters, it's Glenda here.  I hope you're having a great week so far!

 I was trying to get creative with our theme this week...
I love reading so our "Topping" option this time is... books!

Whether it's the cover, the characters, the theme, or the setting... get creative!

If you play with the Topping, please make sure you tell us, show us, or link to the book that inspired you! We would love to see them!

Now, let's go see what our fabulous team and our Guest Izzy have done.

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 #265- Circle or Circles

Hello Crafters, Colleen here!

    

Our "Topping" option this time is...CIRCLES!  You may use one circle, two, or as many as you want on your card.  You could even make a circle card!  

Just have fun with it!

I am also pleased to introduce our newest Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  Please help me in welcoming, Isabelle from Izzy Scraps. We are happy to have you joining us, Izzy! 

Now here is a little bit about her! 

Bonjour! My name is Isabelle aka Izzy Scrap and I am so thrilled and honored to be the Surprise Party Guest here at Seize the Birthday for the next two months! I live in France with my dear hubby. We have two children now gone away for their studies and three cats. I have always been creative since I can remember and have always been making something. But I seriously got into card making when expatriated. In 2016 I started my blog and since then I love playing with stamps, dies, and inks and trying new techniques. I love this awesome community from whom I learned and continue to learn so much!

We also have TWO other Surprise Party Guests that were invited to the party. Please Welcome, Prudence and Andrea. They were both winners from previous challenges, using the Topping. 

Now let's go see how the Design Team and our 

3 Guests were inspired! 

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!
