ITS ALL ABOUT CLOCKS ~ FEB ARCHISCAPS CHALLENGE

Hello everyone, gosh the first month of the year gone already. I am actually starting my year from February as January was a bit of a write off.
So the new challenge at Archiscraps this month is all about clocks , and here is the image to inspire you.
The Sydney Post Office

and this is my take on the challenge

Time is a great Story Teller


I recently required this photo of my Great Grandmother on my Mothers side from my cousin. The photo was taken in 1920 and on the back it had her handwriting which I have added to the layout. She had sent the photo to her Son Patrick (my Mum's Dad) She was deaf I am told.

I thought I would add some close ups 
I used stamping, mists and texture paste



The large brass flower I received from Lizzy in a Pocket Letter

I have also added laces and thread and used mist on them

The writing that was on the photo that I have added to my layout and the dear little vintage clock is from Craftqueen

Thank you for calling by and I hope you join us this month with your take on clocks. The DT have some lovely inspiration for you , so please pop over to the blog and take a look and leave them some love.
Until next time, make sure to leave some
Love, Peace and Kindness in the world

Loooove your bg work with the clock stamps & the blue & that metal flower looks perfect there! Really fabulous vintage page....she looks a little on the stern side....but I'm sure she wasn't. I HOPE she wasn't!!!!
