rad retro

Our Seize the Birthday challenge this week was chosen by Jules and it's retro! Always fun. I love typewriters but don't have a typewriter stamp so borrowed one from a friend. I think of this colour combo and big stripes as being retro so thought it would make a good background. I tried to find a marker that matched the blue paper but nothing was quire right so I paper pieced it.  The sentiment was printed off the computer and then I stamped around it.

Be sure to stop by the blog and give some crafty love to our Surprise Party Guest Karen, previous winner Nance, and the rest of the design team.  Hope you're able to play along with us!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

it's just a number

Hey crafty friends... welcome to another Seize the Birthday challenge. We are playing around with numbers this week.  I always find numbers a bit of a challenge... not sure why. I almost find this a little too cute for me, haha. However, I am proud of myself for creating this little scene (not one of my strong suits). I ran some brown card through an embossing folder to create the tree texture, cut out the branches and then cut out a bunch of leaves for the top.

Welcome to Annie, our new Surprise Party Guest! Be sure to head over to the blog to give her and the rest of the design team some love for their numeric wonders.

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

Happy Thursday friends!  Hope all is well in your world.  Thanks for stopping by.  We're sweetening things up over at Seize the Birthday this week.  Our topping/option this week is to add something sweet to your project.  I pulled out an adorable but neglected Taylored Expressions stamp set this week and had lots of fun paper piecing with it! For the cone, I used VersaMark ink on kraft paper and then put clear embossing powder on it. 

Hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.  Be sure to stop at the blog for all the rules on how to play along.  Give some love to our Surprise Party Guest Cathy and the rest of the design team.

Have a terrific day and a wonderful weekend.  Always appreciate you stopping by.
