All the team got to play with Debbies fab Pocket Watch + elements which can be found HERE

I decided to make this exploding memory box. My late Dad loved watches so I will put some photos of him in it.

All the watches have been raised and glazed and then a bow of ribbon on top. The outer paper has been crumpled and then aged inked and some of the inner panels have been run through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder of watches and cogs and then inked over the top to bring out the embossing.

More inspiring projects by the DT team can be found on The Crafty Pad Challenge Blog (link at top) Have fun !!
