I have been busing making christmas gifts. I made a cute desk calender using the cricut doodle charms cart. I love it so much that I really don't want to give it away. LOL! I guess after the holidays I will have to make myself one. I also made an post it note pad holder using an aryalic frame and then made the matching candle (the pic of the candle isn't the best). Then I also made a stitch candle for DH (it was suppose to be for Xmas but I already gave it to him I couldn't wait) I used clipart from the internet and printed it onto tissued paper (cut the tissue paper to the size of 8 /12x 11 paper and then used double sided tape to tape the tissue paper to the cardstock and then print works great). Then I made a frame for my dad's office.
Uploaded to Webshots lots of pictures
I love your calendar Chrissy. What a great idea. The candles are really neat too. Did the ink bleed on the tissue paper when you printed it? I love the frame too.
Cathy,
The ink does not bleed that much through the tissue paper. You have to be careful coloring in the image because it does tear easy. For the construction candle I didn't have the right kind of marker to color it in with the right colors so I used colored pencils, it came out good but not to brightly colored. I am addicted to making these candles. I also made a Tinker Bell candle for my sister but if I upload it to webshots she'll see it and know its for her. LOL! I'll have to wait until after christmas to upload it. The candles are so easy to make and very addicting. I'll have to upload the other candle I made to I had mickey mouse christmas tissue paper that I wrapped around the candle and then took the heat gun to. it came out pretty good. I also have to upload the coasters that I made. (I"m so far behinde lol) Here is the instructions on how to make them if interested:
I did some candles last year with snowflakes and glitter on them. They turned out really cute. You have been a very busy little elf!
