A little while back, I made this clockface for my little chippy vintage scrapbook store. This project is much easier than it looks and adds a bit of whimsy to your creating space. Buy a basic clock with a fairly large number area. I found mine at Wal-Mart.
After removing the dome and hands, I traced the glass onto scrapbook paper to use as the new background. I also cut an extra circle to use for a practice face. I stamped the 12 and 6... then the 9 and 3 to anchor the other number placements. With the remaining numbers added, I noted any adjustments and re-stamped all the flowers onto the actual background. I then placed the stamped paper into the clock and put it back together. Yay! I now love it in my crafting room.

Hi Mary Beth. I take my tea herbal and straight. No lemon, sugar, milk, etc. Thank you. This is great.
48 hours ago, I gave that very same Walmart clock to my 8 year old neighbor because she plays school and she said it was a school clock....and then I thought this!!!
I don't make things, I buy them. Do you sell things?
Beautiful!!!! I think I can actually do this! Thanks!
What a great collection of ideas - I'll be back!
Georgia - it is almost mythical, from the vantage point of the Pacific Northwest. I visited there a couple of times in the (gasp!) 70's because I have an aunt in Hinesville - quite a spot!
