Lots of Leaves and New DT Members!

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday! Thanks so much for your continued support and making STB so successful! We appreciate each one of you! Now onto my exciting news!

We have 3 new Design Team Members joining us here at STB
and each one is going to share a bit about themselves with you!
Please won't you help us in welcoming them!


I am super excited to be joining the Seize the Birthday DT! I live in Bangalore, India, with my parents and my sister. I've always loved crafting, thanks to the enouragement & support from my mother. I started card making a couple of years ago, after seeing some amazing cards in Pinterest, and became addicted - there's been no looking back since! I don't stick to a particular style, since I want to try anything and everything that comes my way, but I am a bit partial to watercoloring, which is my favorite. Its my first DT job ever (thank you Nancy, for inviting me!!), and I am looking forward to have lots fun with all the amazing ladies here, and of course with all the card makers who play with us!

Hi everyone! My name is Sandy and I live on beautiful Long Island, New York, which is known for its gorgeous parks and beaches. I'm a wife and mom to three adult kids and one fur child, a rescued kitty named Oliver. I've always loved crafts of all sorts by I am totally addicted to paper crafting. I love blogging and participating in challenges and feel so fortunate to have made so many amazing friends along the way who share the same passion. When I have time, some of my other interests include cooking, jewelry making, gardening, reading and biking. I am excited to be on the Design Team at Seize the Birthday!

and last but certainly not least!

Hi, I'm TaeEun from rainbowinnovember. I'm so excited to be part of the Seize the Birthday Design team. I'm originally from South Korea, now living in New Jersey, USA with my supportive family since 2013, when I moved from Germany. I ran across card making on Youtube last year. After watching many of video tutorials, I started making my own cards. And it has become a passion. I can't say I have my own card style yet, but I feel comfortable when I'm making a CAS card or coloring some beautiful flowers on my cards:)! I'm looking forward to having lots of fun and inspirational experience with such talented DT ladies and challenge participants!

Anything Goes This Time!

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!
I am going to get right to it, as it is time to introduce you to our new Surprise Party Guest for the months of October and November along with an unfortunate farewell.

Sherrie Koning

My name is Sherrie and I live in Northern Minnesota. I am married to my high school sweet heart of 33 years. We are blessed with 3 children and 3 sweet granddaughters. I retired from my job in 2014 to spend more time with my grand children and have been enjoying every minute of it. I started crafting about 20 years ago and started with card making and then soon after got hooked on scrapbooking and 3d projects. I also enjoy gardening, baking and shopping.  Thank you so much Nancy for inviting me to GD here at Seize the Birthday!

Welcome Sherrie!  We are very glad you are with us!

Before I get to our Challenge, I need to say Goodbye and Thanks to Brenda one of our Design Team members.  Sadly, life hasn't slow down enough for her and she is going to have to say farewell to us.  Brenda, It's been a pleasure having you on our Design team and I wish you and your family nothing but the very best!  Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing! 

Okay, It's time for the ever so popular Anything Goes Challenge! 


Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
