Happy Birthday John!

It's hubby's birthday today! It seems only a few weeks ago we were celebrating his last birthday. Here's the card I made, or rather, it made itself. Waste not want not, does not apply to crafting!! I waste nothing, but I still need more!!!
My printer's been playing  up for ages and wouldn't print out the papers I wanted to use, so here's another card made up with leftover 'bits.'

The clocks on the front were leftover from a DT make I started, but couldn't finish, by Cutting Cafe...inside you can see more of the same... but that's when the ink run out...instead of black, they're bluey grey, but I thought the papers still worked .

 The silver clock is cut from a sheet I embossed at the same time as above, and never used. I wanted to put the clock paper inside too but really wanted to use black paper, so Dovecraft came in handy there. The pink flower bits I tried to cover with cogs and wheels.

 The image is Bugaboo of course, coloured with Promakers. I was going to 3D that and might still, but I really ran out of 'time.' 

To keep the smaller card closed, there's a little paper tag that slots

between the layers. I added the tape measure, another scrap, to hide the gap between the papers, as they were just a little bit too short. (as were the papers inside, but I won't mention them!)

 The strip of paper on the inside (right) has dates and months on it, that came from a freebie paper stack called Travellight by We R Memory Keepers, from Simply Cards & PaperCrafts Issue 92, two years ago, so I ringed June the 12th. I've also added a hammer, a scew and a spanner, which are all brads. That's it, I think! Thank you for stopping by! If I have time,  I hope to add this birthday card to a few more...
