This Is Our Time

Hi, Everyone!  I took the month of February off to NOT blog while I chipped away at my dual masters degree program, but I'm back with a fun LO using the March Tres Jolie Kit Club scrapbook and mixed media kits.  

Here's the LO:


I love clocks in general, and I LOVED the huge chipboard clock that came with this kit.  I immediately knew that I wanted to use this photo!  This is a picture from the first time my love and I went to the lake together.  We watched a nice sunrise and had a great day exploring one of our amazing lakes we have here in Arkansas! 💖

I also used some fussy cut clocks from an ephemera sheet I had laying around, plus some metal gears and a metal clock from my stash!

Below you can see one of the flower clusters.  I used quite a few flowers from my stash, and after I was done I used some brown and bronze microbeads and prills.  I like to take some ModgePodge and apply the beads and prills with a paintbrush.  Once the adhesive dries you can't even see the adhesive and it just looks like magic!  💖😍


I also used my Cricut and some shiny rose-pink colored vinyl to cut out a title that reads "This Is Our Time".  There was quite a bit of rose and brown tones in the paper, and the mixed media kit I used came with a set of Prima mica powders which I used primarily to color the large chipboard clock.


Below you can see another flower cluster along with some of the great metal pieces I had laying around my craft area!  Isn't the clock so shiny??? 💖


There you have it!  I'm starting two more classes next Monday, but I promise not to be a stranger here!
