Merry Christmas Clocks!


Hi, friends! Sorry I've been so quiet this month. I have still been healing from surgery and trying to also recover from an upper respiratory infection gifted to me by a student as an early Christmas gift! ;) I love my job, but the germs are really making it hard this year!

BUT, let's move on to happier things! I have a gift idea that I want to share with you! I gave these as Christmas gifts, but they would make a wonderful Valentine gift, as well! Take a peek...


These were VERY easy to put together. I just purchased 2 clocks from WalMart, then opened them up and added photos. The "sentiment" was made with stickers. Here are some close-ups...



I love them and am so happy with how they turned out! I hope this has inspired you to create today! Thanks for stopping by and MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'll be back more in the upcoming year! Until then, HUGS and happy crafting!

Prize: Choice of one digi stamp set!

I decided to use the Holiday Deer and Santa's Sleigh digital stamp sets from MHKDesigns for my creation for the hop. Take a peek...


I started by creating a digital panel with some soon to be released digital paper and the image from the Holiday Deer digital stamp set. I colored the image with colored pencils and then added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to accent the image.


I matted the panel in black, then added some twine, a button, and a sentiment from the Santa's Sleigh digital stamp set, framed in silver glitter paper for added texture.  I love the way this turned out! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)



And now, are you ready to get hopping?!
