Here were are in the new year and it is time for another challenge at Seize the Birthday. Last year was a busy year with good and bad events, but we have survived, and all is good. I have great memories of things that we are able to do, like travel, and some of my relationships have gotten closer and better.
We have a Surprise party Guest for the month of January and February. Please welcome Rahmat Goose! You can find her lovely creations here.
Well, on we go as this month, we have no toppings. So you can make a birthday are of any kind. Here is my card. I needed a Masculine Birthday card for January and this is mine.
Supplies:
