DAD and Clocks!

Hello all!

This morning I am showcasing Fat Pages Cards with Attitude using a template and images from our sponsor, The Cutting Cafe.  I laughed so hard when getting these images- my Dad is obsessed with clocks!  I'm not sure if he really likes them but he sure does have them everywhere.  And I mean everywhere!  The kitchen, bedroom, dining, and even the bathroom! One clock in every room isn't enough either.  He has to have 3 or 4 in each room!  He just gravitates towards clocks, not letting a broken one go by at a garage sale.  He'll bring it home, paint it up, redo the face and hands very nicely, and there you go, another clock!  Then he says, "Where shall I hang it?  I am running out of wall space."  So funny too, because hardly a one is set to the same time, let alone the right time.  Some even stand still, not telling the time at all!   But I guess at 88, if he wants clocks, by golly, he can have clocks!  

The Cutting Cafe can set you up very nicely with this DAD template.  They have a fantastic variety of different templates and images that will go with them.  Fun!  I used the It's About That Time set, coloring the clocks with Prisma pencils.  Using watered down glue, I attached the clocks haphazardly to the face of a pre-cut DAD made of Kraft card stock, and finished off with a final layer of watered glue.  After letting it dry over night, I cut around the underlying DAD card, leaving a clock collage with a nice sheen. Added the Maya letters (a gift from a sweet friend), a few brads, ribbon and a hanging stamped hug ticket.  Oh, oh, and added a broken clock face to the ribbon.    After all, Dad needs more clocks!

A huge thank you to my new followers.  I appreciate you all very much.  To those of you in the UK, happy Queen celebrations.  I just learned what bunting is!  My best to you all.
