Good morning lovely blog friends. Hope you are all well.
Another warm welcome to some more new followers, Lynette, Alison, Deniseann and Gill. Thank you for taking time to visit and clicking that button.
As I am now over 150 followers, I am offering a little Paddle Prize, details of which are at the end of this post.
Now, today's creation is my favourite made with John's stamps and I have made it for my living room so, Mr Lockwood, you can keep your paws off this one lol!!!
I used the clock mechanism from one of the Pound World clocks in an 8x8 box frame.
I've gone for this colour as it matches our decor. Apologies for the white stripe at the bottom left of the photo. Its a reflection that I just couldn't get rid of.
Ingredients
White card
White 8x8 deep box frame (The Range)
Clock mechanism
John Next Door Spring, Summer and Autumn Flowers stamps
John Next Door Quattro Drops mask
Peacock Feathers distress ink
Black Archival ink
Magazine freebie numerals die with numbers cut from black funky foam
Teal gem on centre of hands
I just made a hole in the hardboard backing to accommodate the mechanism and painted the red second hand white with Tippex (hey, whatever is to hand has a use lol!!!).
Hopefully, it will get shown on one of John's shows. I am (hopefully) going with John today. An early start but a Maccy D McMuffin is adequate compensation for getting up before the birds lol!!!
Now, here is a snap of the little Paddle Prize for my reaching over 150 followers.
To be entered into the draw for this, you just need to be a follower and leave a comment on this post before 6am (GMT) on the 25th July.
Mr D will perform his pulling duties and the winner will be announced on the next post following the 25th. Thank you all and good luck!!!
I will be giving you a break tomorrow as I shall be back on Thursday with 2 posts, one at 6am and my usual MAWTT DT post at 9am.
I have some exciting news, well for me lol!!!, on the 6am post. . . . . . lets just say, today will not be my only sample appearances on Hochanda this week but shhhhh, don't tell anybody lol!!!
On that note, I need to get to bed (scheduling this Monday night).
Be good and thank you, as always for your encouraging comments.

Good morning Ang. I love your clock what a great way to turn a pound shop clock into this fantastic wall clock. Thing this could be a great project to get grand daughters to do for their rooms. I can see a trip to IKEA as well coming on, need to see when Patricia is free. Oh I can see you and John having lots chat about while travelling today. ( not that you will be doing the chatting. You are so quiet!) have a great day. Hazel x

Morning Ang, wow you have done it again, the clock is beautiful and I am sure John will show it on Hochanda. Will be tuning in to watch.

Eeh Ang Pet,
ReplyDeleteYou've been name checked by John more than once and I hear you're sitting in the Green Room at this moment!!! I've succumbed to his fabulous things - I know I said that I wouldn't but I'm weak where he is concerned ha ha. Just don't tell George.
Your clock is fabulous, such a clever girl!

Forgot to say that you can tell me now about your sample appearance, instead of making me wait until 6 a.m. Thursday, I won't tell anybody ha ha!!!

I love the colour and the effect. Brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteThis clock is brilliant Ang. I looked in The Poundshop at their clocks but they were very small. Didn't think to take the mechanism off. i have the frame already fromThe Range so just need to go to the Poundshop now. Thanks for the idea. Should of got the clock when I saw it. Started to watch the 10am show but kept losing the sound. Will look on Rewind later.
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteGreat clock! You are clever and this would make a lovely gift. It was lovely to see your pot from yesterday on show and it's bigger than I thought it was! So pleased all going well for John ! You may have to sing duets on the 2 pm Show!!
Many thanks and I hope you have a lovely day!
Love Myra xx

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI thought I had forgotten to post a comment on here! Blame old age. I have really enjoyed your posts this week and love the John Next door samples, I was in the queue Tuesday for my stuff, now cant wait to play. Hope my hubby is out when the delivery driver comes, I am supposed to be scaling down stuff, not buying more. However, prizes dont fall into that category so please include me in the draw! Enjoy your weekend.
As a newbie to your blog I have to say 'You make me smile, every morning' the cards are 'fresh' and I simply love the clock!
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteFresh and faded comes to mind when I look at this card' Who's fresh and what's faded I'll let you decide!
Trouble with lederhosen is it's hard to tell the difference between the leather outfit and my skin ha ha.
When I talk to Liz or her friendly guards, I'll be sure to mention your name and input into the wisty adventure!

Hi Ang, I forgot to post earlier, great clock. I do read your blog every time and you do make me smile although I don't always post, I like everything you do, some great ideas. I just wish I was as clever!!
