Seize the Birthday #156- CONFETTI!

Welcome and Happy New Year!  
The team and I are excited to be back for our first challenge of 2019! We hope that the holidays have rejuvenated you and you are ready to get started too!
But before I get to our topping, I have two announcements to make. 
First, I would like to welcome Cathy Roffey our newest Design Team Member to the team! We are so happy to have you Cathy, and look forward to designing with you and getting to know you better! 
Here is a little bit about her!
Hi everyone, I'm Cathy from Cathy's Card Spot. I too have been making cards for many years. I started at a stamping party with my sister where we saw the "magic"of embossing and I was hooked!
I love making clean and simple cards, although more recently I've been playing with mixed media elements, so cards are more clean and complicated! I work full time as a school office admin manager and do enjoy the term breaks when I get more time to play. Looking forward to having lots of fun with this inspirational team!

Next, we have a new Surprise Party Guest joining us for the next two months, and that is Julie Beech! We are tickled to have you designing along side us Julie.

Here is a little bit about Julie!
Hi, I'm so pleased to be asked to join the team at Seize the Birthday as their Surprise Party Guest for the next two months. I live in the quiet countryside of England near the Welsh border with my hubby and little dog Max. I started making cards when my daughter asked me to make her wedding invitations over 12 years ago and haven't stopped since. About my style, I would probably say CAS but I love watercoloring and incorporating die cuts in my projects, coloring with Copics and pencils and getting inky too! Basically anything that appeals to and inspires me.

Now, let's get to our topping...shall we!


    Our "Toppings" option this time is...
"Confetti"
Chosen by Colleen

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!
