New Creations


Well, I've been vacationing, spent 8 weeks in school this summer, and actually accomplished some crafting! I made a few gifts and some cards!

This was a gift for my boyfriend's cousin. She and her husband
 had a baby boy back in April. They have a Winnie the Pooh theme 
in his room so I made this wall hanging for him.


 Wouldn't you know ideas come at the strangest times?! 
Well,as I was playing with a Mike's hard lemonade bottle cap, 
I realized my boyfriend's cousin (different cousin- he has MANY!) 
was about to get married to her fiance...namely a Mike! lol Since he is 
in the Army, I decided she would probably like to have a picture of him 
around her neck so I cut out a picture of them together and with a little
 Inkssentials Glossy Accents, I made this cute necklace.



This gift was for a friend who got married back in June.
I found the idea while I was surfing youtube. If I can find it again,
I will post a link. It was very easy to do, and came out much better than I 
had imagined it would. All I did was buy a  plain white candle, and then I printed
onto the tissue paper using my printer and then I slightly melted the outside of the
candle so the tissue paper and wax merged together.
 On one side of the candle is the names of the couple along with their 
wedding date, and the other says: "All Because Two People Fell In Love..."

I made a card at some point, but I will post it some other day. I find I enjoy making gifts for people than I do making stuff for my self! Very strange, but whatever keeps me motivated is good for me! Hope you all enjoyed my creations! 

Happy Crafting!
