I couldn't help but play with the color challenge CC454, Night of Navy, Baja Breeze, and a sunny yellow...along with this fun sketch. Thank you ladies for your faithful bringing of the challenges!
I saw clocks when I saw the circle element and what better clock that a wind-up old school alarm clock? And the time is a ticking away...the house is still disheveled, the turkey needs brining, the pies baked, but what am I doin'~~~taking a joy break for a moment of sanity.
I used a very old Stampa Barbara clock which was inked three times, the Baja base, a violet shimmer face and then acetate for the 'glass'. I added Tim's clock hands and a fancy brad. The sentiment (Stampers Anonymous) was inked with VersaMark and embossed with Seafoam White ep. I ran the argyle dp through the Cuttlebug argyle embossing folder. The tiny bit of trim is seam binding that I colored with a Copic.
I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgivings. Our house will be filled with laughter, exceptional food, bits of chaos, but most importantly lots of love...times a ticking...better go catch it!

Perfection, Susan! A clock face for the circle, and indeed a timely sentiment RE holiday pace. Time for joy, family, deep breathing trumps stress time.
