  Pinwheels are so cool! I followed the tutorial that HoneyBee Courtney posted on Monday.  I cut a 3" square, then attached it with a mini brad.  My papers are Echo Park "a walk in the PARK" and my sentiment is a Punnylicious sentiment by My Pink Stamper.

  Pinwheels are hot right now...right up there with chevron patterns, seam binding, and baker's twine.  I hope you will give this a try.  They make a fun summer card!

I love pinwheels and so do my grandkids.........so for mine I used a sketch from Techno Stamper. She has a Monday Lunchtime Sketch every week.  I haven't played for awhile, but this sketch seemed perfect for a PinWheel.......all papers are CTMH, MS punch, and bling from Wal-Mart.

Well that's it for me and I am on time for a change! My life is getting back to normal.......Hope you will join us this week.  We would love to see your pinwheels and leave you some love.

When I found out our theme was going to be 'pinwheel', I knew exactly what I wanted to do!..I am so far behind on my layouts and thought a pinwheel design would give the layout an interesting block look to it. Of course, once I did Nina, I thought why not do Ian too! Using 12x12 doublesided cardstock worked out perfectly!

For pinwheels I went back to my quilting roots and dug into my old patterns. I used a bee stamp from Nature Walk set from Stampin UP. and randomly stamped two different background colors. Then I took my 1 1/4" square punch and punched out 8 squares of each color. These squares I cut point to point and reassembled on a background square for my paper pinwheel quilt. I added some freehand "bee fly trails" and some stick pins made with shrinky dink material and a Betty Bee Bow Maker BEEutiful Bow and tada "Just BEE Cuz" card is done!!!

I have made quite a few pinwheels for summer decorations, and what is more fun than having festive decorations for the Fourth of July?!  How about a Headband?!

Theses are 2 and 2 1/2 inch pinwheels.  The red and blue ones are Core'dinations paper that have been embossed with a Sizzix stars folder, then sanded to allow the inner core color to shine through.  The center one is edged in Gold Lame' Smooch ink. The medallion is from K and Co.'s Americana collection.  Add star brads, and you have an easy wearable decoration so you can show your colors the holiday



Show us your creations with a pinwheel.  It can be a card, layout, home decor piece, altered item, party piece.... what can you come up with?
