City Crafter Challenge Guest Star ~ The Keys to Time

Hi there!

This is my second week coming to you live from the carditorium of the City Crafter Challenge Blog as the March Guest Star. Don't forget my new CD is available at a table in the lobby blocking your way out after the show. This week our play is entitled "The Keys to Time."

As it happens, I made a clock card for another fun time-themed challenge just recently, so I thought this time I would key on the keys rather than time this time.

But wait. If you've been a friend of mine for any length of time, you know that I have an indecent number of stamps in my collection. Could I find one of a key?

No.

What?

And since I'm a dunce at digi, I'm here representing the "Time" part of the theme after all and not the "Keys" part of the theme because that's what I have just to show you how flexible the challenge is!

First, I made a flat, easy-to-mail, card that can be used for any number of eventations.

The ingredients are below. Here is a close-up of the black and blue moire embossing.

And here is my second card with a slightly different design and emphatic colors, to which I added a double-layered gold and clear vellum clock stamp and a bow:

And a close-up:

I hope you will be able to join City Crafter and share how you were inspired by The Keys to Time!

I'd like to thank those of you who joined in last week and I'd like to thank the Design Team again for the honor of joining them for the month of March! I'm having fun and making lots of new friends!

Translate for us, please.

One thing I've noticed in my travels around the globe for hobs, hops, and challenges is that many of your blogs do not have a free "Translate" button on the side bar. I recommend that you take a minute to add the button (and please add it near the top), so that your visitors from every country can read the words you take the trouble to write! Thank you! Merci! Danke! Hvala! Tack! Paldies! Etc. ...

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
