CHALLENGE 120 - TICK TOCK

Thanks so much for all your gorgeous creatIons this last week - you can see them over on my favourites blog as usual.
This week my challenge should be wind, rain and hurricanes as I just survived the dreadfully dangerous Hurricane Igor - BUT - I would not make you do that so - my challenge is TICK TOCK. How is that related you may ask - well - The 36 or so hours I spent in a secure basement hospital office whilst my husband worked and the hurricane blew over us were the longest and most scary I have ever spent and time went very slowly hence this challenge. 
You may use anything related to clocks, watches and time in general and have fun with the challenge.
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog.
Thanks also to the many friends who supported me through the weekend - you know who you are.
During this time, believe it or not I had the offer of a new sponsor (thank you you know who) - so two in the future to come (will not do them till October when I am home and can post out the prizes) so hope you will understand the delay.

CHALLENGE 118 BLACK WHITE AND SILVER

Well another week gone by and we are well into September - time flies....
Thanks for all your lovely dreaming entries last week - you can see them on the favourites blog as always.
Now for the new challenge today - I would like you to use BLACK, WHITE AND SILVER in your creation. I have done a lovely card, scanned it and added it to Picasa - obviously on my home computer. BUT I am here in Toronto without my netbook using Geoff's laptop - so that means I cannot show my card until I get to Bermuda and have access to my laptop there sorry.... silly me!!
However I know you do not need any inspiration for this one so as always create a work of art, add it to Mr Linky and link your card back to my blog.
If you would like to be GD just add that to your comment please.
I will come and visit you and leave comments too.
In the next few weeks I have a new sponsor coming up and an old one (if you see what I mean) so keep checking for further info.
Enjoy.
