At last! My last project using the 'My Creative Scrapbook'
Limited Edition Kit for November 2012. I love the challenge
of using up every last tidbit from a kit (well as much as I can
possibly use at least!) so, when I saw this pretty little clock,
I knew that it was the perfect piece to 'pretty up' for my
daughter's new apartment!
I fussy-cut some of my off-cut papers, as well as
using some remaining die-cuts. Inked up the edges.
Glued everything on really strong then added the
angels on top as the 'piece de resistance'.
I cut down the Pink Paislee Artisan Elements Squares into strips
& added some of those along the edge of the clock face & some
strips along the base.
This was an easy-peasy 30 minute project & yet it took
this little clock from drab to fab & my daughter loves it!
I had two pretty pink Prima flowers left but one was not a
shape that I liked (it had only 4 petals) so I cut the petals up
& used them to bulk up my flower on the right-hand side &
added the stamens from the centre to the base of my flower
cluster on the left. I tucked in my last remaining piece of lace &
added a "Cherished Moments" sentiment cut from my Prima
packaging - which was appropriate & in-keeping with the
whole 'Time" theme!
