Seize the Birthday #326-Feature an Animal

Hello Crafters,

Nance S. here hosting this fortnight Topping and I hope you will join us!  My Topping is pretty simple - Feature An Animal (must be the main focal point) on your birthday card. Of course, if the Topping doesn't inspire you, you can always play along in our Anything Goes option, as long as it is a Birthday theme.

Before we get to the inspiration below by the Design Team, I want to welcome our next Surprise Party Guests. 

We have Kathy Schweinfurth as our honorary guest for the next two months. We are really happy to have you here, Kathy!

Here is a bit about her! 

Stamping and paper crafting have been my passion for over 25 years and cardmaking just plain makes me happy!  I’m mainly a card maker with a clean, layered style, but I do love getting inky once in a while, too! I'm thrilled to be Seize The Birthday Surprise Party Guest for May and June!

We also have Tracey McNeely joining us as a guest today!  She was the winner of one of our previous challenges, and we are happy to have her with us as well. Welcome,Tracey! 

Our "Topping" option this time is...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

Winner's Post #325-Primarily Pink

Hi Crafters, Nancy here! 

 Thanks to all of you who chose to play along with my Primarily Pink Topping these past two weeks. I know Pink is not for everyone, so I also appreciate those who joined us using our Anything Goes option as well. 

 Let me say, there were so many amazing cards to choose from in the gallery that it made my job really difficult. I wish I could pick each and every one of you. 

 Without further ado, here they are!

Congratulations!
