Seize the Birthday #262 Make it Pop

Hello Crafters, Ashwini here, and before I get to my topping I would like to welcome three Surprise Party Guests joining us for this challenge.  Bonnie, who you already know is going to be with us for two months, but in addition to her, we also have Deepti and Lisa joining us as well.  They were both winners on previous challenges using our topping. Welcome ladies, we are happy to have you designing alongside us!

Our "Topping" option this time is...Make it Pop!

Here are some suggestions to help spark some ideas: 
You can use bright colors, funky images, or actually make something pop!



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 #261 - Wheels

 Hello Crafty Friends!  It's Jules here to bring you the new Seize the Birthday challenge.  As host this fortnight it is my honor to bring you the next Topping, which if I'm being honest, was a bit self-serving on my part.  But before we get into that let me take a moment to welcome and introduce our next guests this week.


First, we have, Bonnie Klass joining us as our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  Welcome, Bonnie!  We are so happy to have you designing alongside us and look forward to seeing what you have in store for us. 

 Here is a bit about her! 

 Wow, I’m so excited to be invited to be the Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday! I love making cards and I’m happiest when I’m in the craft room! My card-making journey started in 2008 and since I retired, it’s been a big part of my life. I have met so many wonderful people through this hobby, both in person and through my blog. I treasure these relationships and the inspiration. As an added bonus, I have plenty of cards to send out. When I’m not in the studio, I’m either with my family or have my nose stuck in a book. So many fun things to do, so little time!


We also have Carol McFarland joining us today as our guest as she was our overall winner using our Topping from our previous challenge.  Welcome, Carol! 


Now, onto our Topping...


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!
