See what that badge up above says at the top? Yes, I am joining the Seize the Birthday design team! If you're not familiar, Seize the Birthday is a challenge focused specifically on birthdays — because it's always a good idea to have an extra birthday card or two at the ready. The challenge "toppings" are always optional, so if it's birthday-related, it fits.
The challenge starting today is completely ANYTHING GOES — make a birthday card and come play along!
For my card today, I've gone just a little bit snarky... the Seize the Birthday team should know right away who they've added to the team, I figure. ;)
I love how versatile Tim Holtz's crazy dogs, cats and birds can be, and thought this guy's expression went perfectly with that sentiment! The patterned paper seemed to have the appropriate celebratory vibe for a birthday. The pup is watercoloured and of course had some glossy accents added to his eyes and nose, as well as a little sparkle to his collar.
I hope you'll play along and join us!
Supplies: white & yellow cardstock, Lily Bee Design Pinwheel patterned paper, Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Mini Crazy Cats & Dogs stamp & die, Hero Arts Irreverent Birthday Messages stamp, Versafine onyx black & MFT black licorice inks, Ranger clear embossing powder, distress markers, MFT wonky stitched rectangles die, Glossy Accents, Wink of Stella clear glitter marker, foam tape

Welcome, welcome to the STB team, Lindsey! I love a card with critters, and this little guy makes me smile!

Glad to know about this modern birthday party share. The other day was looking for prices and services of LA venues for our graduation dinner party. I will handle all the responsibility to manage it in a perfect way. Also searching for catering and drinks providers. Baking part will be handled by my cousin in same business.
