Challenge 15 at CRAFT Challenge, anything but a card.

Hello everyone,

Doesn't time just fly? It's time for challenge 15 already this week at CRAFT Challenge and we have something different for you in store this time. This week we want you to make anything but a card.

Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

For this week I have kept a project that I made early summer. Just kept it behind to use now. I made some candles for the craft fair at school (none sold I'm afraid, so they'll be fine for birthday presents I guess). Hope you like them.














This is a candle I made using a stamp from the Crafty Pad 'Belinda's Garden', I really love this one and hope you agree. This is the one I'm using as my DT entry for CRAFT Challenge.


I also made another few candles, this one has a stamp of 3 hens from Penny Black and is also quite nice and I also made some others with a bird stamp and some frog ones as well as a fairy one. Hope you like them.




















































Thanks for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated as always. If you would like to know how to do the candles, why not have a look at this thread on Trimcraft that is discussing this exact thing.


You can even print off a favourite photo onto tissue paper and use this for a very special personalised candle. I have tried it before. I have just added those pictures here. It was a candle I made as a Christmas present for my in-laws last Christmas with our kids on it. This was however the first one I made and not very successful yet. (I think the ink was nearly out on the printer)


This week's challenge is sponsored by Donnas Den banner She is donating LLB DVD and papers. The pictures are below.
