Today's Lesson From The Craft Room: Make Friends With Something That Scares You!
Who knew that May 19th was Circus Day?!? Who comes up with these "official" days anyway? Well, when I saw it was Circus Day I immediately thought "clown!" I have to admit...I have a strong dislike for clowns. They scare me! I don't know why I dislike them. I can't remember any close encounters of the frightening kind with any clowns when I was little. But somehow, someway, I developed a strong clown aversion. So today I decided to try to make friends with something that scares me and I created this punch art clown. And believe me, he doesn't have a mean bone in his punch art body Sometimes you just have to stare fear in the face
His hair was made with a square scallop punch (I cut the square in half). His bow is 2 hearts with a circle in the middle. His hat is a combination of the key tag punch and a small oval punch. I brightened his nose with crystal effects. I think everything else is self-explanatory. Let me know if you have any questions Hope you like him...and I hope he doesn't scare you
Paper: yo yo yellow, whisper white, tangerine tango, tempting turquoise, pink passion, lovely lilac, green galore, brilliant blue, blush blossom, real red, basic black

Oh, this is so cute!! How funny that there are so many of these official holidays in May. It makes me want to go check out June and other months.
You did such a great job on your clown. And I am not a clown lover either. Is anyone?? They are skeeeeery!! But not yours. Love that cute nose! :0)
