Whatever You Do....Don't Blink LO (Frosted Designs)


If you are looking for the Bucket List Blog Hop, go HERE!

Today at Frosted Designs, we are featuring projects with Clocks or Time.  I was inspired by ANDREA at Frosted Designs.  She made her own grid with her gypsy using squares.


I used the calendar grid from Designer's Calendar sized at 8.33w x 5.82h.  I enlarged the calendar grid until the center squares were one inch square.  I welded 2 together and cut out two of the double grids.

I took photos from Tanner birth through 5 years.  I trimmed them to fit into the squares.

I found these rub-ons at Michaels in the dollar bin a while back.

I put one clock on a square that had a plain background color on it.

I cut the photos into one inch squares with my paper cutter.

I adhered the squares into the grid ~ the larger photos looked better with the eyes and nose.

My title was created on my Gypsy.  The cursive font is from Quarter Note sized at 1.47 inches.  I welded it together.  The other font is from Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons sized at 1.22 inches.

I added a ruler and some dice to the pages.  I put the dice 1 - 5 by the coordinating photos to represent the ages of Tanner.


I can't believe how fast these past 5 years have gone!  He will be 6 soon and just started kindergarten.  Before I know it he will be driving!!!

Thank you for stopping by today!
