After seeing a "plethora" (love that word!) of pinwheels in blog-world this week, I decided that might work on my challenge card. The dimensions I found on an SU site were much too big, but the first two punches I pulled off my shelf fit perfectly for a tiny pinwheel (Blue Marvy square and a Fiskars small squeeze punch). So I made a second card with a pinwheel rather than a flower embellishment and added some ribbon woven through the Spellbinders die.
These cards are an example of how I have actually grown as a crafter. There was no way I could mix prints or not be symmetrical long after I began pasting up cards. Buying paper in pads with coordinating prints put together somehow gave me permission. There's hope for me yet! I still need to learn to color in the lines!

JustRite Friday Challenge #048
Well, this one drove me crazy. I can't tell you how many different rectangles I stamped and cut and embossed before I was finally happy with that part. It also took several flowers, cut and inked, before I decided to use this one. I say it drove me crazy, but in a good way. :o) How can it be anything but fun when one is playing with one's toys: Big Shot, Spellbinders, JustRite Stamps, paper, cardstock, ink and glue? It's a lot like baking. I make a big mess, but do so enjoy getting acceptable results!
