Happy 4th! Pinwheels and Stars - Oh My!

Hello there blog friends!  Wishing you all a very Happy 4th of July! It's a bit overcast here in Southern California, but it's supposed to be in the 80's today! I made these festive pinwheels from the June My Paper Pumpkin kit - aren't these so fun?! 

Here's some more pinwheels that I supplemented with the Star Framelits.  I embossed them with the Large Polka Dots and Tiny Triangles embossing folders from the new Stampin'Up! catalog.  Love the texture that these circles and triangles add! They make my stars all the more festive, don't you think?

Well, dear friends, thanks for hanging in with me. I know it's been quiet on my blog these last few weeks. Just want to give you guys an update on my computer situation - I'm almost all set up - YAY! I've reinstalled most of my programs, but still need to download my fun fonts. One casualty that I'm super sad about is that I lost all the pictures that I edited that were on my laptop.  I learned a valuable lesson - while I was saving all of my pictures from my camera, it's the edited images like the pics I posted on my blog, my watermarks, and my MDS files that I lost.  Huge bummer. :( So, dear blog friends, I encourage you to back up all of your docs and images either on an external drive or in the cloud.  It's a good precautionary thing to do in case you lose your computer or if it gives out at some point.  Be safe!

And on that note, I'm gonna sign off here so we can get our 4th of July festivities under way.  We'll be heading down to the beach soon!  Hope you enjoy your day!  Thanks for stopping by.  Ciao for now!
