OK, now here's my card for the Hop!  The image is from Ginger Loft and it's appropriately called Musical Clown.  Printed and colored digi with colored pencils.  Embossed the back ground on plain red paper with a Cuttle bug folder. Edged the white card base with red Marvy ink pad.  Glued musical background and digi image down with glue stick.  Then I added the music note sticker and black bling, all from recollections.
Made me think of someone singing Happy Anniversary...........


Well that's my card.  And In order to win the sponsors prizes, you have to be a follower, enter the challenge and comment on all blogs in the hop.  Have fun and thanks so much for stopping by!  Next one on the hop is: Kate, so head on over there for some more Blog Hop Fun.

Until next time
Have fun hopping in our Hop!
