Happy New Year!
New year, new month and new challenge at Seize the Birthday!
I hope everyone had a nice holiday.
Barbara is our hostess and
her Toppings is "Make your own snowflake background"!
I have to admit I am glad we had a break for the holidays. My break meant having to curtail any crafting and a lot of other regular activities due to tenosynovitis (form of tendonitis) in my right hand and wrist(dominant hand). It's an injury I got back in the summer and had to have a shot then. Then, in early November, the hubs and I decided to repaint several rooms and the tendonitis came back with a vengeance exacerbated by newfound arthritis. Two months wearing a brace, little use of my hand and four shots within that time.😩 UGH
Today's card was my first attempt at crafting earlier this week and I'm so happy I could do it minus pain. So, <knocks on wood> hopefully back to normal!
Please stop by the STB blog and check out all the rest of the team's beautiful snowflake birthday cards. Also, welcome to our Surprise Guest for the next two months, Helen! Be sure and give her a big welcome! Remember, we also have our ATG Birthday challenge if you're not feeling a Toppings challenge. We love having you play either way!
Thank you for visiting my blog and hope you come back soon!

Love your purple background of snowflakes, Nance. And that cute little penguin and ballons is adorable. Fantastic card. Hope you had a great Holiday.
I love this gorgeous background, Nance! And this little guy's green sweater and balloons make him very festive! Love this!
Great minds for sure, but you clearly out did me with this fantastic background! This is one of my favs of yours too! Take care!
Your purple snowflake background is lovely and perfect with that cute penguin with his balloon. Glad to hear you hand is better and you are were able to make a card without it hurtin. Getting 4 shots in it doesn't sound like fun. Take care and Happy New Year.
So glad you were able to craft Despite all of the medical problems that you had with your hand. Your card turned out wonderful and I'm glad to see this fun Penguin with his balloons on the front. He is just adorable. Hope you continue to get better
This is such a fun & cheerful card!
