I was awestruck by her background design 

along with her dimensional tag.

GerJanne

As if her gallery pic wasn't cute on its own,

the magic happens when the card is expanded.

Jaydee

This one just made me smile.  

I actually had avocado toast this morning.  :-)

We hope you ALL will enjoy your "Honours" badge.

Seize the Birthday #323 -- Add a Tag

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's Jules here to introduce you 

to our next Topping here at Seize the Birthday.  I often create tags 

using my bit of leftovers from a card design but thought 

"Why not add one to the card design itself?"

So this, my friends, is the challenge for this fortnight.

Before we get to the fabulous cards below, along with 

our SPG-Jennie, Leslie joins us as our guest, as she was the overall 

winner in our last challenge using our Topping. Welcome to you both!

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 #322-Green as Main Color

Hello Crafters,  JoAnn here with our "Topping" option this time.  I thought green would be the appropriate main color as St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner.  It doesn't have to be related to that day, but make green the main color, it can be several shades of green or just one.  Can't wait to see what you create.

Before we get to the cards below, I want to take a moment and welcome our next Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  

We have Jennie Maier joining us!  

Welcome, Jennie! We are happy to have you! 

Here is a bit about her! 

Hi, my name is Jennie Maier and I live in New Berlin, WI. My husband Steve and I are empty nesters, as our three adult kids are all on their own and adulting. Currently, I’m working part time as a Substitute Teacher. We enjoy traveling, pickleball and golf. When I'm not crafting, I love to read!  I'm also on a mission to visit all 50 states, having only 10 left to visit! I've been a Stampin' UP! Demo since 2007. My blog is Jennie M's Stampin Spot.  I love to play with all kinds of challenges. I'm so excited to join Seize the Birthday as a Surprise Party Guest for the months of March & April!

    

We also have Valerie joining us today, as she was the overall winner from our last challenge.  Welcome, Valerie! Happy to have you 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!
