Papertrey Ink's MIM #104 Handmade Pinwheels and RetroSketches #51


Today I have two cards to share, one for PTI's Make It Monday and one for this week's RetroSketch's challenge. On both cards I decided to pull out stamps that had not been used before.
For this week's MIM Ashley taught us how to make pinwheels out of a piece of square paper, it was so quick and easy to make. I adhered two pieces of patterned paper together to have 2 colors but next time I would use a piece of double sided paper, it would not be as thick and easier to fold over. Head of to Nichole's blog and take a peek at all the wonderful creations that have these adorable little pinwheels on them. 

My second card is for RetroSketches I used a stamp from Market Street with a camping theme and pulled out patterned paper from last years Stamp-A-Faire to match.

  3. These are both fantastic. I love the colors of your pinwheel card. They are so cheery, and perfect for a get well card. Love how you popped part of the sentiment up, too. And, your retro sketches card is so fun. I am not much of a camper myself, but I can certainly appreciate a super cute gingham camper. Great match on the patterned papers, too.
