*WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE*

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

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
Polka Dot & Striped Brads- in my stash
EK Success-pierced scalloped border punch
Flowers-$1 store flowers pulled apart
Pearl centers-Recollections
Green flower eyelets- Eyelet Outlet

    Sonia these are so so pretty. You are right about them being so springy, and there is nothing better than watching them blow in the breeze. Just love the colors you used and those pots are just so darling. I love the little florishes you added to them. When you sent over the sneak peek I could not even guess what you were coming up with. Such a great job with this challenge.! Hugs, Stephanie

    Sonia -- I love the pin wheels! They are so colorful and just plain fun. I especially like the idea of using two different sides of paper - very clever. Thanks for sharing.
