Topping: One Layer

Welcome to another challenge here at Seize the Birthday!  I don't know about you, but we are freezing our tails off this morning here in sunny Florida!   We hit a record low last night of 32 and I am going to be putting on extra layers this morning before I head out to school.  Especially socks. I can't stand when my feet are cold! Speaking of socks! You all really knocked our socks off last time with so many wonderful entries, and we can't wait to see what you do with our Topping this time!  Let's get right to it!

    Our "Toppings" option this time is...

"One Layer"

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

Happy New Year and Some News!!

Happy New Year to you All!

It's great to be back with you this year and we look forward to 2018 with some New Toppings, New Inspiration, a New DT member and new Surprise Party Guests!  Let's get right to it!  First, I would love to give a very warm welcome to our Newest Design Team member Lindsey M-P from Bashful Blogging. We are super excited to have her joining us and please won't you help us and drop by her blog and give her a welcome as well!

Bashful Blogging

Here is a bit about Lindsey!
Hi! I’m thrilled to be joining the talented team here at Seize the Birthday. I spend most of my time in central Ontario, Canada, outside in the summer and inside as much as possible in the winter. Indoors or out, I have a lot of fun playing with stamps, ink, paper, paints, markers… you get the idea. My card style is usually clean and simple, with occasional forays into the uncharted territories of mixed media or vintage style. 

Next, I would also like to welcome our new Surprise Party Guest that will be with us the next two months!  She is someone who I believe you just might recognize, as she is very well known in the stamping blogosphere...

Kriste Goulet

Kreative Kristie

Here is a little bit about Kristie!

Hi, my name is Kristie Goulet and I live in Connecticut with my husband of 19 years and 4 amazing children. I am a SAHM who loves to create after our homeschooling day is finished.  I love making cards to send to family and friends. 

Welcome Kristie, we are so happy to have you! 

Now, it's time for our First Challenge of 2018!
It just so happens to be...

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
