off the edge

It's time for another Seize the Birthday challenge and Shirley has chosen off the edge. I love this challenge and decided to do a tipsy martini off the edge.  There is a bit of sparkle (Wink of Stella) on the martini but it's hard to see.

Be sure to check out the blog to see the great creations from the design team as well as Jolanda, our Surprise Party Guest, and previous winner Milla.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,

Glenda

CASE the STB DT

It's our last Seize the Birthday challenge of the year.  So hard to believe! I fell like i say this every year but this year seems to have gone by so quickly... and it's been a weird year, that's for sure!

Barbara came up with a fabulous idea for a challenge - CASE a member of the Seize the Birthday Design Team.  So if you want to play along, head over to the STB blog and scroll through the DT posts to pick something that inspires you!  

I couldn't decide on just one so I picked two!  We have such great designers on our team.  The first one was inspired by this card of Nancy's. The mottled flower was made by splashing some water on the Distress Oxide ink.

This second one was inspired by this card from Jules.

Am sad to say that Jules is departing and heading over to Color Hues Color Challenge.  While I'll miss her here, I look forward to her creations over there!

Be sure to check out the blog for all of the team's creations.  Really looking forward to the gallery for this one too!

Enjoy the rest of your 2022 and all the best for 2023.

Take care,

Glenda

elegant embossing

Happy Thursday crafty friends. I'm happily posting on time this week! At Seize the Birthday this week we are all about embossing (of any kind) thanks to Barbara.  I decided to use some embossing powder and do some watercolouring with some Distress Oxide ink.

Be sure to pop on over to the blog to check out the elegant creations from the design team and our Surprise Party Guest, Vicky Hayes!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

a bunch of beverages

Over at Seize the Birthday, Jules has picked a beverages theme this week! No surprise... when it comes to a beverage theme, I picked cocktails! I used vellum for the martini glass and then some silver paper for the drink part - I've seen some shimmery drinks online lately but never actually consumed one.

Be sure to pop on over to the blog to check out the delicious creations from the design team and our Surprise Party Guest, Carol McFarland. 

Hope you have a terrific day and a wonderful weekend!
