Anyways on with my story and the purpose of this posting. While looking through all the different glass, wood & metal wares on the shelves, Lana came across TWO clocks of the same style and that is when we decided to CHALLENGE each other with altering the clocks but not let each other know what our creative thoughts were until this week.
This past Monday, Lana & I decided to link up at Archiver's (One Day Only 43% off designer paper sale) and that is when we excitedly shared our 'altered creations' and WOW how DIFFERENT the SAME item can be!
First I will show you how I decided to alter this clock. I used last years Graphic45 Christmas designer paper, a little fancy cutting and some Stickles.

And ... be watching for our NEXT project ... yep! there's another Creative Alteration in the works. We haven't decided if we are going to have our challenge date before or after the holidays. Busy time of the year ya know! BUT ... I'll be sure to keep you posted on when our next FRIENDLY CHALLENGE will be shared.

Oh my, Darlene you two are terrific. I LOVE both of these. You are so right, what completely different looks! I am partial to Father Christmas and love the vintage look of this beauty and the way you set the clock to just after midnight. What a beautiful shabby chic creation Lana has. Love that she repurposed the clock space!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us!! Love to see your next adventure!
