Pinwheels at The Cutting Cafe

The Cutting Cafe design team post, which goes live tomorrow, features pinwheels and I happen to love pinwheels. They have captivated me since I was a child!  

Pinwheel Sentiment Template - Cutting File

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the file but if you do not own an electric cutter that's okay because Regina always includes a PDF file so you can cut by hand. I used a white gel pen to add some highlights and a brad holds the four corners together. A striped straw is the base of my pinwheel and I added some ribbon from my stash to make a bow. The background paper is by Recollections and I added some green glitter circles which I outlined with a black gel pen. A word chat sticker by Tim Holtz provides my sentiment and for me that is what pinwheels do - strike up my imagination.

J for Jingle Bells and K is for Keep It Simple at ABC Christmas Challenge

J for Jingle Bells

is the theme of my card and the sponsor for our current challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge is 

Digi Stamp Boutique

They are offering our lucky winner a voucher to the online store.

I used their digital image, Happy Penguins, on my card and instead of using actual jingle bells I decided to incorporate the song on my card using rub ons by Bo Bunny and tiny word stickers by Faith Illustrated. 

The challenge runs through the end of the month and I hope you'll join us.
