I'm using the Moments In Time set--I love this set and it's birthday sentiments! I'm using paper from the Timeless collection by Bo Bunny, and used some twine from the previous Timeless 123 Create Kit and Flourishes' Classic White card stock for the card base.

Here's the inside with the clock face stamped off to the side and another sentiment from the set.
