Sieze The Birthday ... Crabby Style

 Did my title get ya wonderin'?  Hee!  Hee!  I have a couple masculine birthdays in the next two weeks.  So, I'm trying a new sketch challenge, Seize the Birthday.  What I like about this challenge is they use the same sketch for two weeks.  The first week is for feminine birthday cards and the next week the focus is on masculine cards.  Fun!  So here's the sketch I had to work with:

I had already pulled out some scraps, which included a pre-colored "Mr. Crabby" from the retired set, Crab and Company. Once that was done, the card came together pretty quickly.  The last detail, "Mr. Crabby" holding the sentiment wasn't planned, it just came to me at the very end.  Another happy accident....love it!

On my husband's side of the family we are all seafood lovers.  We vacation together pretty often and crabbing for Maryland Blue Claw crabs is a big event.  So this set and these cards are pretty popular with this card maker.  Every couple years I pull out these stamps and surprise somebody with another crab card!  It's fun to find the different ways to use it.
