Hello and good morning!

This is Papercraft Star's Photo Inspiration for this week ...
Mona generously sent each of our designers the exclusive Timeless Stamps and Time Piece Dies designed by her for us to use this week ...
(I will leave links at the end of my post for you)
I was so thrilled to receive these goods ... You all know how much I love anything to do with clocks and as little Miss Sophia has graduated from nursery to 'proper' school ... It gave me the opportunity to make a fat little album ready for some photos and journalling ...
The papers are a mix of Dear Lizzy and Crate Paper but all stamps and dies used are from
Timeless Stamps and Time Pieces
I made this in the shape of a little school house ... Isn't the clock just beautiful! I've never used MFT goods before being in the UK and I am amazed at how much is in these sets and just how easy the dies cut!
You can see some of the cogs from the set next to my felt owl and I've used the clock hands as holders for the photo as well as a piece of the die cut clock to decorate the top of the page together with rhinestones
More cogs and I stamped the clock hands onto my paper where the photo mount is ... also a different clock face here
I stamped and embossed onto black card here to give a chalkboard effect and cut a couple of pencils up to stick onto a burlap frame ... the other themed buttons you can see came from my sweet friend Lynnda
I did use Rub-ons for the "best buddies" but again the cogs, clock hands and pretty black 'flowers' are from the sets
Feel free to click on all the photos to enlarge
Here on the left I cut the cogs from DP and the clock was done by leaving in the sections of the outer face in and stamping directly onto it
With all that embellishing I left the back just plain
I have loved playing with these sets and it's going to be hard for me to part with this little album ... but I'm giving it to Sophia's Grandma my SIL who will keep it safe
A great big THANK YOU to Mona for her generosity

Till soon
