Saturday again - have a great weekend!

Morning readers,

Here we are at Saturday again, I hope you all have something nice planned this weekend and that the weather won't spoil any plans. It simply CAN'T be as bad as last weekend .... can it?

With all the recent rain I built up quite a creative head of steam and actually made this on August 7th but had so many other craft projects and ATC's to share it's reached the 17th before it was time (pun intended!!!) to share this one!

My monochromatic Artist Trading Coin

Materials used:

• Snippets of card in black and white
• Nesting Circle dies to cut my 2½" and 2¼" circles
• Kaisercraft "script" image stamped using Memento London fog ink (owned since 2014)
• Art Impressions skeleton clock face (J-2511) stamped using Memento grey flannel ink (which I had in 2011)
• RubberNecker "Flying clock" image (C463) stamped using Memento London fog ink (which I had in 2011)
• Recollections sentiment (from "time Flies") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink (I can't find a pic which tells me I had it pre 2009)
• I edged my white circle with ColorBox pink pastel ink (still can't believe the company is closing its doors)
• Sakura white gelly roll gel pen used to doodle "the hours" on the black matting layer

I've been trying to get in to the habit of taking a daily walk and was doing quite well at dodging the showers of the past week or so. The Friday forecast was horrid from about 09:00 onward so I thought I'd best get up and out or run the risk of missing my window of opportunity. I chose my route so it would be in the shelter of trees, in case the rain started early! Pheww! As I headed down the path to the front door it started to rain! - pretty much didn't stop the rest of the day either!
