Wheels for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules has chosen wheels as the theme.


You can always add to your stash instead with an anything goes birthday card too.


Welcome to Bonnie who is our new party guest for the next couple of months,
 and to Carol who was the winner of our last challenge. They, along with my team mates have some great inspiration for you over at the blog.

I have worn out my light box (it was an ebay cheapie) so have ordered a new one and it's on the way! In the mean time I dug out my little easel to try and get an OK pic of my card.

Still doing inventory (might be a a very long process lol!) and trying to make things with old goodies, like this Stampin Up pinwheel.

I used a scrap of patterned paper for the wheel, a strip of black card for the stem and a sentiment sticker.
The embossing folder is an old Cuttlebug one called mini bubbles.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

What a great idea to use this pinwheel for the wheels theme Cathy and I love the pink spotted paper you used..so bright and pretty, and the embossed bubbles in the background are delightful. x

Cathy, I had a stamp set pulled out that had that pinwheel also, and I went with the other one...so we almost had two great minds thinking alike! Great card, I love it!
