Wedding Candle

I love these candles and they are so much fun to make. They make a wonderful keepsake for the couple and hey let's face it, if things don't work out it can be great therapy watching the candle burn. I admit I have a touch of pessimism in me at times.

My brother-in-law is getting married on Saturday so I made the candle with their wedding invitation and etched their monogram in the base. I already posted about their card so if you would like to find the specifics you can click HERE.

To make the candle I taped a piece of tissue paper to a piece of printer paper and copied their wedding invitation in my printer. Then I cut the tissue paper close to the printing and put it on the candle and wrapped the candle with wax paper. I used my heat gun and ran it across where the tissue paper was and the candle wax melted into the tissue paper. Easy Peasy!!

Family Poster & Valentines

Sheesh schools just keep folks hoppin' these days. LOL

Bryce came home with another poster board with a note attached saying we were to make a family poster. What a cool idea!! They will be displaying them at parent/teacher conferences.

He picked a robot from the Robotz cartridge (he loved the way it turned out) and a bunch of letter stickers to spell his name (i blued out his last name). We used Pink by Design "All in the Family" and Oh Boy" stamp sets.

 These are the Valentines for his class party. I saw a video on youtube from a Stampin' Up rep on how to make these matchbook M&M treats. I used Emma's "You Had Me At Chocolate" stamp set for the sentiment and I love that she included a "TEACHER" stamp.

2 Blog Awards Today

I received 2 blog awards today!! So AWESOME!! I am going to combine them because I don't think I can come up with enough things about myself to do them seperately.

I received the Attitude Award from Alina from Addicted to Scrapbooking.

I received the Stylish blogger Award from La-kesha from What's Scrappin'.

Eight things about me:

1. I am a Christian and very proud of it!

2. I am a loyal wife, daughter, mother, grandmother and friend.

3. I love my family and friends more than anything and would do anything they asked. (as long as it's legal)

4. My crafts keep me sane. Without them I wouldn't know what to do and probably get into way too much trouble.

5. I refuse to drive in the snow unless it's absolutely necessary.

6. I am a big baby when I'm sick.

7. I always find a way to see the best in people.

8. I am not all that creative but I follow directions really well.

I am giving this award to everyone reading this post. I really, really appreciate everyone that follows my blog because they give me encouragment.
