Make it Monday : Pinwheels




Ashley’s gave us a video on how to make our own pinwheels.
 I do have a pinwheel die and  have made them before, with and without a  die.  I liked Ashley's idea of adding trim. My pinwheel  was a bit large for this tag so I just cut off the tips at an angle.
This tag was NOT for Tommy! 

Tommy,my oldest grandson!



 Yesterday was our oldest grandsons ( Tommy) 11th birthday. We spent the day with him and his large family. We had so much fun just playing outside will all the kids. They are blessed to live in a wonderful neighborhood with plenty of kids and neighbors that are always there for each other. I mean really Blessed! It's a wonderful loving neighborhood!( Temecula) I can rest easy when my son in law is at work( fireman paramedic) for a few days that my daughter Nichole has help if she needs it. 

Everything but the printed paper is from Papertrey Ink!

 Now I am off to visit some of the blogs I missed while being away.

    Love the soft colors of this Marybeth! Snipping off the points was a great idea and the ribbon on the tag created a delicate tail on your pretty pretty pinwheel!!

  14. I'm trying to figure out how you made the pinwheel look elegant? Is is the colors, the subtle patterns? I LOVE the way you clipped the ends.
