Awesome LO -- those pinwheels are totally cool! I know the feeling about flowers. My husband looks at a page with my son and if he sees flowers --I get THE LOOK! LOL
Your pinwheels ( we call them windmills!) look really great - they are more intricate than the usual ones - I love them! You achieved exactly what you wanted here - masculine feel but also a patriotic flavour - fab lo!
Wonderful pinwheels.....love this....the colors are just wonderful and the photo is beautiful......I love every part and detail of this page!!! Outstanding!
You held back from the flowers....with GREAT success! ha ha! Too funny, Karen! And the pinwheels are an AWESOME substitute! Very boyish and fun! LOVE this unique design, especially those pp rolls as borders. so COOL!
Oh Karen this has turned out wonderful, I love the pinwheels and the paper curls! I can totally sympathise with the struggle of not adding a flower! I have just completed a boy layout and in the end I weakened and added a flower...I never thought of a pinwheel! I haven't uploaded yet as I am still not sure if I might change it!
LOVE the pinwheels. I checked your blog out but you didn't have any instructions on making those! (I did like the flower tutorial though!) fabulous LO!!!!!
you know what, i think it is absolutely perfect, i love the design, the photo, the colors, the details those pinwheels were a perfect addition. a great masculine boy page. fav for me.
So easy to smother everything with flowers, but not so easy to make an interesting boy LO. I had a challenge like that with my last LO. You did a wonderful job!! LOve those pinwheels. the pp's are perfect!!!
So to be TOTALLY honest with you, this layout was a bit of a struggle for me(starting with the design and over and over all feel to it) I wanted to go for a boyish feel to it, I wanted to leave out flowers. Ok, You don't even know how many times I looked at my flower stash and said to myself "No!!! Don't do it!!" lol..so I made pinwheels. First time making these and I love how they look.
