dynamite dies

Happy crafty Thursday friends.  Can someone tell me how it came to be the end of August?!? Wasn't it just May?

Thanks for stopping by for our Seize the Birthday Challenge.  JoAnn has asked us this week to just use dies, no stamping.  Well, I just got this new Waffleflower Happy Submarine die set as a gift from a friend so thought it was a great time to use it.  I don't have a lot of word dies for birthdays (not sure why) but thought this celebrate worked well.

Hope you can play along with us! Be sure to check out the blog for the rest of the dynamite creations from the rest of the team, as well as our Surprise Party Guest Lynda.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.

twist on a treat

Nance (happy birthday to you!) has chosen Favourite Fall Treat for the Seize the Birthday topping this week. I'm taking a slightly differently take on this! I'm in a lot of denial about fall because I am 100% a summer person... but one of my favourite things to do in autumn is to walk and kick my feet through big piles of leaves. So that is my favourite fall treat ... I have to find something positive about autumn! I used my Artsy Leaves dies with some smooshed Distress Inks for this leafy card.

Hope you can join us! Please check out the blog to see what fabulous creations the design team, our Surprise Party Guest Johanna, and previous winner Stephanie, have come up with!

Always so grateful for the comments.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.

Take care,

Glenda

TCH #113 - red & white

Happy Monday crafty friends! Over at Colour Hues, they are doing red & white!  Couldn't resist as red is my favourite colour (and it's in honour of Canada Day).  Thanks Tracey!

I used just part of this die (a little more challenging that expected) but I like how it turned out.  I blended some Distress Oxide on a piece of paper and then die cut it.

Hope you're having a great July so far. See you back here on Thursday for the latest Seize the Birthday Challenge.

Have a great week,

Glenda
