Hello & Welcome!
Today is my share day as a Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog design team member.
The Whimsical Wednesday Design Challenge Blog will be having challenges every week with each challenge staying open for two weeks! You will love the themes- they are so fun, and a scrap booking challenge will be on board every first Wednesday of the month. How fun is that?
This week's challenge theme is:
“ Make a Spring Has Sprung Project”
For my project, I decided to make Pinwheels in Pots.
What's springy-er than pinwheels blowing in the spring breeze? That is...if you are lucky to live where you are getting spring breezes.
But I digress.
There are 2 small pinwheels & one large pinwheel.
Take a Look:
***Supplies Used***
Patterned Paper-Scenic Route- Providence
White, Yellow, Red Cardstock- Recollections
Home Decor Cartridge used for the red, cherry blossom branches
Small pots-Michael's
White paint-Plaid
Yellow grass made from strips of yellow cardstock
Styrofoam balls for inside the pots to steady the pinwheels
1 white & yellow striped straw & 2 cocktail straws for the pinwheel stems

Flowers-$1 store flowers pulled apart
Pearl centers-Recollections
