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 ~ CANDLES!!

Welcome friends!
I am hosting this challenge at SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY and the topping is candles on your birthday card!
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!
 
I pulled out an older PTI stencil:  balloons
and Catherine Pooler Design stamp:  Make a wish
I was going for a more masculine birthday card
I also used Gina K : ML 2

 
 

Friends, there is amazing inspiration waiting for you at the STB blog and our special party guest Stephanie for My Ink Well, please check them all out and join us for this candle birthday challenge!


Heart Hugs, friends!

Thanks for a fun challenge, one that is great for Birthday cards. Making a masculine card is usually difficult for me but this one will go into my idea box for the next male birthday that I may need.
