Redesigned Clock

I usually love a good before/after blog, but unfortunately I can't find a before picture of my newly redesigned clock. So, instead of showing the before picture, I'll tell you the story of how it all happened... 

One afternoon I was sitting in my craft room having a bit of scrappers block (you know... writters block, only for scrapbookers), when I started to look to my black and white clock for inspiration.

After what seemed like hours of staring and listening to the tick tick tick of the clock, inspiration came!!! But it wasn't for my scrapbook page, instead it was for the clock.  I imediately took the clock off the wall to see if it would come apart nicely... and to my exitement it did!

I cut a circle out of white paper for the background, added some paper flowers and buttons, and cut the numbers using my Alphalicious cricut cartridge. 

Now it's back on the wall; and I am now staring at a pretty clock still waiting for inspiration...

When you can't find it... make it!

I've always been one to just buy something instead of making it... mostly because I know I'll never end up getting around to making it.  Lately, however, I've become inspired and have decided that when I can't find exactly what I'm looking for... I should just make it!  It's amazing what a sense of accomplishment it gives you! :) 

Wall art is especially hard for me to find... for some reason... maybe I'm just too picky???  Anyway, since I have a handy dandy Cricut, I've decided to put it to work and create a few wall art pieces that are pretty quick and easy. 

One picture was inspired by House By Numbers canvas art.  I liked the canvas art idea and verse so I took the idea and changed it up a bit... of course the Cricut was my best friend on this one.

Another quick project I created was for my bathroom.  I needed some art that was black, white, red and grey and moisture proof... pretty hard to find!  I had a black clear picture frame already, so I just cut out some circles and voila... new bathroom art!  

The Finished Product

My inspiration came from the shower curtain
