Trendwatch: Pinwheels – Scrap Booking

Photo by slambo_42

Maybe it’s because it’s summer but pinwheels seem to be popping up everywhere lately.

Cheeky Magpie has a tutorial and free template for making a working pinwheel.

They were featured in the May Studio Calico kit which included a pinwheel stamp. Davinie from the design team posted a tutorial on making a paper pinwheel to use on your projects.

Here’s a tutorial from Michael’s Stores for a pinwheel scrapook page

The BHG magazine Simply Creative Weddings, shows how to use scrapbook paper to make a bouquet of pinwheel flowers for use as a centerpiece.

Use origami to make a folded pinwheel that involves no cutting.

Designer Fifi Mandirac also has an origami project: an envelope with a pinwheel closer. Get the details in English or French

Finally, for the digi and hybrid scrappers, download this template and action set for some virtual pinwheels!

This uniquely styled Fall Mini Scrapbook album project from Kathy uses products from Doodlebug to create a fun design to hold all your Autumn memories. The cover looks like a traditional album with pattern paper cover, layers of more papers, a cute dog in a truck die cut and some trees, all tied closed with ribbon.

But inside it’s actually a tag album held together to the back cover with a large O ring. Each page is tag shaped and stitched around the edges for texture and to hold the front and backs together. They are also decorated with fun patterned photo mats and coordinating printed embellishments. There’s even a fun shaker page too!

Visit the Doodlebug blog for more details and a video flip through of the entire album.
