200!!!!

We have a special challenge for you today.  

Seize the Birthday is celebrating its 200th challenge.  Woohoo!  

We are so grateful to all of you that have helped us reach this milestone. 



So for this challenge, Nancy is offering a Twenty-Five Dollar Simon Says Stamp Gift Certificate to each of our Top Winners. 


To add to the fun... there are 4 Mystery Design Team Members that have prizes up for grabs on their blogs.  However, the requirement to win ANY of those prizes is, you must go to ALL of the Design Team's blog and leave each one of them some love! We all need a little love in our lives these days.

Also for your post, we are asking you to explain how exactly you were inspired by our graphic!

Let me explain our topping ... for this challenge we want you to make a card and/or project that is inspired by the graphic below.  Whether it be the colours, the balloons, the watercolour vibe, or the numbers, etc. Whatever sparks your creativity.  Remember for this challenge only, we are asking you to explain in your post how exactly you were inspired! p.s. there is no 'anything goes' option for this challenge.


I was inspired by the watercolour and the colours!  Really looking forward to seeing all of the Seize the Birthday inspired creations.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for playing along with our challenge!
Glenda
