Michaels Contest Entry
So Michaels is having a contest (see details here) and I made a clock to enter. Just waiting to hear back from them as to if it has been accepted or not. In the meantime here is a picture of the clock
what little guy didn't dream of being a cowboy someday?

Glitter Clock
Cartridges used: George and Basic Shapes and A Child's Year
Cut the following items one time each from heavy chipboard:
5 1/2 inch circle from George
6 1/2 snowflake on page 55 from ACY
7.85 inch snowflake on shift from ACY
In design studio I did hide contour on the cut outs on the tips of the snowflakes.
Cut the above items again 2 times each on heavy white cardstock
And the final cut is the circle and 5 1/2 inch snowflake on glossy white cardstock
the 7.85 inch snowflake on shift cut from mirror cardstock in light blue.
adhere all like cuts together, on both snowflakes I sprayed with spray adhesive and topped with chunky glitter.
Holding all together to get them centered for the hour points, find center of design and use Cropadile big bite to put hole in the center (you have to punch 3 holes very slightly overlapping each other)
Now put the pieces of a cheap 6 inch clock (such as the $3.88 ones from Wal-mart) in your new snowflake clock. The clock is light enough that you do not need to adhere it to the little black battery box, but if desired you may. I chose not to so that I can keep using the same hands for seasonal clocks. The clock is also light enough that it will hold to the wall with a small 3M mount and remove picture hanger (sorry tossed the package and don't remember the actual name)

yes I feel in love with this little lady as soon as I heard all that she was and will become. So I just had to try to use her to see if I could design a picture of her.
This is one of my favorite layouts of Trenton, being all boy. I used Base Camp for the lettering and Plantin Schoolbook for the stars using the centerpoint feature. The journal tag behind the large photo also contains another photo that I just couldn't decide if I wanted on the layout or not, but to me it was too precious not to have on there somewhere.
