Stay tuned, below I’ll tell you your next stop along the hop!!
I’m one of those who normally struggles with yellow but this is such a soothing yellow that I actually enjoyed it. I tried to create a tone on tone card but after a while it was too much and I needed to introduce a pop of color, so I opted for white and white pearls. When Anya showed us her set and it featured pinwheels I did a little happy dance. How fun for us and then I remembered one of the new releases for is S5-125 Spellbinders™ Pinwheels! I used that for the focal point and stacked it on top of Spellbinders™ Lotus Pendants and Spellbinders™ Blossom Tags and Accents. I stamped the small pinwheels outline and followed up with the filler stamps - too easy!! I cut them out then popped them up on Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles.
The sentiments for the set are cute and clever – I opted for You are my Whirl – get it? Pinwheel . . . whirl . . . .!! Lol, I ran out of room on my card so I tucked the sentiment off to the side on Spellbinders™ Jar Labels.

Hello Becca,
I never thinking to make a pinwheels as a flower.
But, after look at your card, my perception about pinwheel changed.
Instead, they can be just playful pinwheels you proved that It also can be a beatiful flower. Not only Anya was brilliant, but, you too! You card really awesome. I’m waiting for your updates everyday.. and everytime I visit you blog you’re alway suprised me with your Truely Amazing Creations.

Your blog is the highlight of my day, I reallly started card making after my husband was diagnosed with cancer some three years ago. Your site has always been the inspiration I needed and when I was at my lowest I would go to your site and just look at all the beautiful cards you have made over the years.You, my dear friend are the reason I have so many spellbinders and gadgets. My husband does not know my secret but he knows what therapy I receive when I am in my craft room. Thank you so much for sharing a part of yourself with us not only on a personal level but your ingenious talent. I hope God continues to bless you each and every day.

Hi, I don’t know what the above “link” is for so I couldn’t do it. Sorry. I follow your beautiful work almost weekly and have added you to my top l0 sites : 0) I love your idea for buying “nibs” for each color and how to store them. I would like to know what type of nibs those are and what the see thru plastic holder is also??? I have looked up nibs on JoAnn but haven’t see any like yours. What do you recommend??? Thank you so much, another sister in Christ.
