Seize the Birthday Challenge #200 - Surprise Party Guest


Hello and welcome!
I'm back with my 2nd guest card for Seize the Birthday Challenge!
The theme of the challenge is to be inspired by the "Seize the Birthday" logo!




They have a special challenge for you today.
Seize the Birthday is celebrating its 200th challenge.  Woohoo!
   They are so grateful to all of you that have helped us reach this milestone.
So for this challenge, Nancy is offering ...
2 Twenty-Five Dollar Simon Says Gift Certificates



to both of our Top Winners.

And to add to the fun... we have 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!

Please stop by Seize the Birthday for more details.
I'm so excited to guest design for such an amazing milestone!!!

For my card, I used just a portion of a large balloon die from Seredipity Stamps.
I smooshed a background with inks in the same colors of the challenge logo and added the sentiment die cut, which is from Pinkfresh Studio.  The oval die is from Tutti Designs.

Here's a few more views:








Hope you will have a chance to play along and remember to comment on all the DT blogs for a chance to win one of the prizes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
