One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Seize the Birthday ~ the sentiment as focal point

Welcome to another Seize the Birthday challenge
Today our topping is to use your sentiment as the focal point.
If you are NOT a toppings person, then you can always go with
"ANYTHING GOES"! 
 
My friend gave me a pack of these American Crafts diecut chalkboard frames for Christmas.  I thought they would be perfect for the birthday sentiment!
I made the background with strips of tape and a sponge dauber.
I hope you will join us in this challenge
 
The topping:  Use the sentiment as your focal point
OR...ANYTHING GOES!


Have a great week!
