Clownin' around

     Thanks so much for all your sweet words on the passing of my beautiful furbaby.  Having to make that decision has traumatized me so badly I doubt I will ever get another dog.  I just couldn't go through that again.  I appreciate your love, hugs, and thoughts and prayers more than you know.
     Enough sad stuff, let's move on to something chipper, happy, and VERY colorful.

     Torico is celebrating Birdie Brown's second birthday this month and she has a couple of fun challenges for the month.  The first one is a birthday challenge using a Birdie Brown image so I pulled out this adorable little clown to play with.  Lots of bright colors here so you may need some sunglasses to view this post.
     I just had to have this fabulous photo frame die from Lil' Inkers.  I love their stitched edge dies.  When Linda came up with a "Frame It" challenge this week at Catered Crop I knew it was time to put the die to use.  We'd love to have you pop over and share your framed creations with us for the challenge.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Sisterhood of Crafters--birthday
The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop--burthday
Eclectic Ellapu--something for a child
Pile It On--birthday

     Happy Birthday Birdie Brown!
