I made this one for my Mother in Law who absolutely loves anything by Thomas Kinkade.
The most difficult thing about making these clocks is finding an image that is suitable. The centre of most images has something quite important on it and you can't really have the hands poking out of the main focal point. The image on this one is from Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kinkade CD.
I print the numbers on top of the picture, cut it out and stick it to an MDF circle with a hole in the middle. I then emboss the outside rim of the MDF circle and image. Just add a clock mechanism and some hands and there you go.

Its beautiful Pauline I am sure your MIL loved it! Happy New Year too x
Fabulous Pauline. The image you've chosen is lovely and I'm sure your mum will be thrilled to bits with it. I have some clocks ready to be made up but haven't had the time while I was in Christmas card mode. This has given me the inspiration to get on with it.
Thank you for sharing this lovely clock with us at CD Sunday. It's a brilliant take on the theme.

Wow! that is super Pauline. I bought a couple of blanks and mechanisms with the idea of making them up but once I got them home my mojo ran off and hid in a corner of my craft room. Having seen what a lovely job you have made of this one I am tempted to have a go.
