MFP August Blog Hop (Day 1) - Pocket Watches

August Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

  Featured TODAY - Aug 13th - Pocket Watches
 Used with a sentiment from the new mini set Take Time and a pocket watch die from Spellbinders.

Clocks always make me think of New Year - hence this card! Also felt if I had a sentiment saying "Christmas Time" it would be great as a background to all sorts of Christmas images.

Please move on to An'Jenic and don't forget to come back tomorrow to see the next set.
Featured Aug 14th - Joyous Season
Featured Aug 15th - Country Charm 
Featured Aug 16th - Wealthy Fish

    The Spellbinder die compliments the stamp wonderfully. Like the Christmas vintage look.

    Beautiful cards. I kept thinking of doing one in the red and didn't do it so I am glad you did.
    I like it in the red.
