Scrapbooking: Pinwheel Embellishments with a Boyish Twist.
One of the latest trends in scrapbooking is making pinwheel fans from paper. Frustrated and jealous that I have no cute girlie girls to scrap about, I blogged here a few weeks ago about all the adorable circle-inspired cuteness on pages I've seen lately, and pledged to try my own versions on pages about my boys. Here is a sneak peak at my proof that not all pinwheels need to be pink and centered with rhinestones and flowers.
You are more than welcome to scrap my little girls....I can send you some cool pics, hee hee. Actually, I started my 1st "scrap-esque" project that I can't wait to show you on my blog. Can you write about how to make those pinwheels? Also, I am using an exacto knife for everything....can you recommend to me some must have tools for scrapping? I'm going to show up on your doorstep one day just to get a look at your cute kids and killer scrapbooks. I'm not kidding :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. The only person who has ever looked at all my scrapbooks is me. There are that many! I will post some instructions on making these bad boys in a few days, perhaps after we get back from AWW! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome on my doorstep and in my home anytime. :)
I use a small (12 inch) straight cutter from Fiskars, a cheaper model than this one:

I also use a small pair of kid's scissors that I feel comfortable leaving out on my desk, and random punches (mostly by Martha Stewart and EK Success which you can find at Michaels).
I have plans to resume scrapping my garden to fulfill my need for all things feminine. That is, when I find the time. lol.
I really dig these J. They make me think of sunshine and fireworks and county fair ribbons -- all perfectly delightful for the little guys!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You've inspired me to try this in a few "boys" only layouts.
