Altered Clock

Check out this fabulous idea from Design Team member Melanie using MiniMarks Sheets...

ClockSupplies: 12x12 Cardstock White (71081) – AC Cardstock, Flat black ( 53017) - Thickers, Vacuum Accents multi ( 43374) -  Minimarks, Sweep Accents multi ( 43375) - Minimarks Spoon Phrases (42697) - Remarks

Melanie says: "I’m not really an altering type, and I wanted to make something I would use. I found this $2.99 clock at Ikea, and thought it would be perfect to alter with the cute Abode line- I love the mid-century feel to the images. I used the minimarks to symbolize key times during the day, home for the 12 (am), office chair for 3pm, dinner plate for 6pm, and the television for 9pm. This clock was a snap to take apart and re-do, and I now have it hanging in my kitchen in place of my old, boring Ikea clock."

This is such a fabulous idea and a perfect use for the Abdoe line!  Thanks for sharing with us, Mel!
