PinWheel Joy

My Spring/ Summer center piece is finally done.  I don't know if I love as much as I wanted to but I love it just the same.  Reminder, I received inspiration from various locations in the real world plus SketchSupport.com as well as inspiration from Dotty for You paper!

2" banner pieces.  They were almost too big, but I made it.  I purchased the bucket at a local garden center.

 With all of the fun patterns available with this paper kit, I felt it needed a little solid too, so I threw in a bit of Sunset, one of my new favorite colors to use along with Wool Grey.


Stamped a butterfly on a canvas button, love doing this.

Happy Spring!

Sharing the joy

Dotty for You is such happy paper. I couldn't wait to do something fun with it.  In the Dr.'s office I saw pinwheels for a touch of decor.  I had forgotten how fun pinwheels are and how easy.  Then I saw a post on SketchSupport.com and knew what I wanted to do.
Lots of Pinwheels made with Dotty for You paper.

Here are the first two projects.  They were gifts for a couple of people that I thought could use a pick me up.
I am still working on the centerpiece for my seasonal corner, so more pics to come.
Enjoy then go and make a pinwheel:)




I will confess, I struggled with my adhesive.  These babies wanted to keep popping open on me. Pinning them and then anchoring them into the dowel was the sturdiest.  Otherwise, lots of glue dots.  You need something strong but also quick acting.    These look so much better in person, but then who doesn't.
