Clock layout






I have had an amazing last few days and the reason being that my parcel from THE SCRAPPING COTTAGE with my Quickutz March Release dies, and I have to say that up to now, this has been my absolute Favorite Quickutz release. And to make things better, just spend $50 or more on Quickutz and get the 2"x2" Speech Bubble Heart Club Die FREE (while stocks last).I just have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the March release!!!! Oh, Did I mention that I L-O-V-E IT :-)
I have been working on a few projects and have posted one now, and will post the others during the week as I finish them. So check back to see what else can be done with these amazing dies, as their uses are endless.

This week I tried something different and turned my layout into a working clock. I used a recessed 12”x12” scrapbooking picture frame that I had bought a while back and never used because I could never decide which layout to put into it.
I started by cutting a small hole in the back board of the frame for where I wanted the clock mechanism to go through. I then glued my background paper onto the back board, cut a little hole in the paper, making sure to match it up with the hole in the board. I then carried on creating my layout as normal. Once finished I glued the mechanism in place at the back of the board, put the hands onto the clock & put it into the fame. FINISHED – A unique personalized clock that can either stand on a counter top or hung on the wall. This is going to look great in my craft room. Eventually, I will be able to see the time while I am working.
For my clock layout I used:-
QUICKUTZ CLOUDS 12” Cookie Cutter border die,
QUICKUTZ FLOWERS 12”Cookie Cutter border die,
QUICKUTZ GRASS 12” border die,
QUICKUTZ RAINBOW & CLOUD Cookie Cutter die,
QUICKUTZ ANIME MONKEY 4x4 die,
QUICKUTZ MUSHROOMS 4x4 die,
QUICKUTZ TREE 4x4 die
QUICKUTZ SUN 2x2 die,
QUICKUTZ HOUSE 2x2 die,
QUICKUTZ CHANDELIER 4x8 alphabet,
TIM HOLTZ DISTRESS INKS
