TH Tag Jan 2016

I went with an all clock/time theme on my version of the Tim Holtz Jan 2016 Tag. TH used a TH Typewriter key embossing folder. I knew I had the perfect embossing folder for a clock/time theme. I had the Alarm Clock stamp TH used but wanted my Tag to have a stamped sentiment so instead I used the Simon Says Stamp exclusive/TH Stamptember alarm clock. My use of TH paper distresser is better than my hand tearing. My use of a punch for cutting the alarm clock center face out is better than my cutting with scissors. Added the clock ribbon to complement the clock theme.

The pocket watch in the photo below is a pocket watch that belonged to my hubby's father. He found it this weekend when he was cleaning his computer room. When he wound it up the hands moved.
