How did you first get introduced to stamping?

hard to say I think it was a combination of magazines and Internet sites

And for my Inspirational project....

We were asked to make a Home Decor item with any of the InStyle stamps.. well I thought it was time to update the clock in my craft area!!!

I purchased a very inexpensive clock at the store - I think it was less than $5.00 - I took the plastic top off the top and used it for sizing my pattern paper, traced and cut the circle out. Carefully removed the handles and placed the pattern paper inside the clock making a hole in the center for the clock piece to come through. Rub-on's are used for the numbers - I believe these are American Crafts. I stamped out two InStyle images, at one you see SusieQ and at 6,7,and 8 your find Sheree ... both are colored with my Copics and then the bubbles and tub for Sheree are highlighted with Shimmerz and Stickles. They are loosely cut out and then I inked the edges.

Now I found in my stash a few weeks ago this transparency overlay - for some reason it just seemed to fit with this clock - a reminder of sorts - And Shopping and Bubble Baths... yea.. what all girls love! I then added a few tiny Prima flowers with stickles centers.
I put the clock all back together - hands and then the cover. Around the outside with glue dots I added a piece of satin ribbon and more Prima flowers... I really like how it came out - and every time I check the time I can remind myself... to do what I love!

Ok - now you can HOP on over to all of the other DT's then make sure to visit the Forum to vote...
