Welcome friends to another SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!
It is my turn to choose a topping and I thought, what do we have fresh in the summer months that we do not have in the winter months? FRUIT!! So I thought our topping this time should be any kind of fruit on your birthday card...strawberries, apples, lemons, watermelon, you get the idea!
I have two cards to inspire you! The first uses The Greetery: Lemon Blossoms! Who doesn't love lemonade in the summertime? A big Pitcher (also from The Greetery: Pitcher-esque) of lemonade too!!
My second card uses a Penny Black stamp: Berry Fairy!
I colored her with copics and mounted her on a piece of pattern paper from Scrapbook.com pack: berry sweet! Isn't she just the sweetest and wishing the birthday person a sweet birthday! I love juicy sweet strawberries!
I hope you will join us with this challenge, if you do not want to make a card with a fruit on it, that is fine, you are welcome to make nay kind of card as long as it is a BIRTHDAY CARD!
Julia from Create with Me is our Party Guest again this month, be sure to check out her card for more inspiration as well as the design team members!
See you in the gallery!
Heart Hugs, friends!

Wow, two beautiful "fruity" cards Colleen. Love the pitcher with the lemons and the colors, but that cute little berry fairy really steals the show. Thanks for a great challenge to use Fruits.
Two lovely fruity b'day cards Colleen! Your lemonade card looks SO refreshing with the heat wave we are having and your Berry Fairy is adorable perched on top of that deliciously ripe strawberry! Julia xx
Two beautiful cards, Col. Love your pitcher of lemonade with the fresh lemons
sitting on the napkin. Awesome card. And then your sweet little Fairy sitting on top of the strawberry is too cute. Great challenge.
I didn't know we would be getting a Twofer. Both are wonderful, Colleen and I loved your Topping and I think the Team did also. Your lemon slices look so realistic and of course, the Penny Black stamp is darling too. Have a great Friday and weekend!
Two lovely cards Colleen, love the detailed diecuts on the lemon one, and the strawberry fairy is adorable, thankyou for the fun challenge, Cathy x
Thanks for the fun challenge. There are a lot of fruits in my collection of stamps to use for this one. I opted to use the winter berries and I hope that they look like summer berries. When I saw your lemons, I remembered that I have those to use too. Both of your cards fit the bill, but I really got a summer vibe from the lemon one. I think that was what you were going for.
Fab twofer, Colleen! I love the lemonade and pitcher, very summery!
Sweet juicy lemons, lemonade and a plump, ripe strawberry really speak to summertime, Col! Thanks so much for the birthday card!
Loved both your cards! Refreshing lemons and juicy, sweet strawberries! And I love how the different designs really highlight each fruit. Wonderful fruit themed cards for the season, Colleen! Thank you for the fun topping too!
Your cards are so creative, Colleen! Love the lemonade theme and how you put that card together for a summer birthday! The printed paper was made to go with that sweet image you colored beautifully!
I love them both!!! (Sneaky overachiever, you. LOL!) The lemonade design screams summer and that strawberry girl is precious. I enjoyed this topping a lot!
These are both fantastic! I particularly love the first one - great colours and clever layout.
