My last challenge of the crop!
I followed Gigi's lead and cut the paper short! Oops. Unfortunately, you do get to see the issue. I may figure out something extra to add to conceal it. Just not yet.
Thanks everyone for some great projects! Wish I could have got to more of them.

Thanks Lisa!

Let's see, California in January, Ontario in July. I think that would be the best of both worlds!

Jeannette I love that candle... I bought some candles to try this, but need to wait until I have more time. I just can never decide on an image I want to use though. But I love yours!!!

I'm really not into candles, (too hard on my asthmatic lungs), but these are all so pretty, it makes me want to do one. Gigi, I just love that blue!

Thanks CeCe. It was fun to do, but I don't use regular candles as much as I used to - I use flameless candles most of the time. I love having them come on all over the house at night - all on timers - and I don't have to try to remember to blow them out!

That's a good idea. I was so glad when my mother, around age 96, finally stopped lighting real candles! I gave her some flameless ones to transition her. Now, she just doesn't care anymore.

Wow - I would have been pretty concerned as well!! Glad she isn't lighting them anymore too. You are so blessed to still have her -what an amazing age.......

When someone gets a chance, I would love to know how to make these. Each one is gorgeous. What's all this talk about heat guns and blow dryers? Inquring minds NEED to know! LOL

If you go to the very first post of this section, there is a video at the end of Christy's post - the first one, that shows how to do it.

Hope that helps.

And you definitely need to use an embossing gun NOT a hairdryer...believe me, I know! The reason I tried mine with the blow dryer is I can't find my embossing (heat) gun!!! Not such a good idea, the blow dryer does not get hot enough.
