WANTED TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED

Happy Friday Evening !!!!

I have had two emails today from blogging friends and they have really touched me !!! I want to thank Linda and Katina for your emails (they have meant alot to me).  Linda your candles totally rock THEY ARE GORGEOUS !!! I am so proud of you !!!

I would like to share another tip with you.   NOW you can put anything on a candle whether it be your favourite person in the whole world or your pet and put any sentiment and completely personalise your candles.

On your every day cheap printer paper all you have to do is choose what photo you want on your candle and sentiment/name print them out onto your paper and apply the same technique with the grease proof/wax paper.

Here is a candle I made for a Stuart at work's Mum for her birthday next week.  He is in his plane, he was delighted with it.  Just think the possibilities are endless !!!

Have a fantastic Friday evening !!!

LOVE and HUGS

TIM HOLTZ - WOW

Hi Everyone

For a long time now I have admired Tim Holtz and never mentioned it to anybody before.  I find his techniques WOW and when I see what other crafters do with his products it completely inspires me to want to try but because it is out of my comfort zone I have always been nervous to try something different as usual !!!

Yesterday on QVC (although I was at work) I recorded all of the shows.  After dropping Lucy at school doing a little shopping I rushed back home and was sat in front of the tv with my coffee and that was me for hours and hours.  Now I have been trawling the internet trying to get the best prices for the products that I want.  I was so surprised to find that some of the companies I buy from here in the UK actually sell some of the items I want WOOO HOOOOO

Two weeks ago I attended a Tim Holtz class at my local craft shop.  It was two whole hours of bliss for me I was totally inspired, and then after watching Mr H today on QVC I am was in craft heaven !!!!

Below is the project we were shown to make at the class.  I could not believe that I could actually make something like that.

Although you cannot actually see it, there is actually accetate on the inside of the bird cage.  Such a cool idea !!! (not mine)

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog.

I truly appreciate it !!!
THANK YOU TO MY SPECIAL BLOGGING FRIENDS
FOR THEIR COMMENTS
I AM TRULY BLESSED TO KNOW YOU AND HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE !!

A CANDLE JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT !!!

Hi Everyone !!!

I am hoping that everyone is well !!! I came home from work the other night AND WE HAVE A NEW COMPUTER  wooo hooooo I also have back my paintshop back (always makes my stuff look better) and it is super speedy !!!

Anyhoo Lucy finished up the last of her exams today, but she could wait a few weeks until she finds out the outcome !!! She wasn't quite as nervous today ...

Ok this is a little £1 candle I got from Asda !!! I have been rumaging through some older stamps and have came across some Penny Black stamps I had forgotten I had or should I even say have not been used !!!! This little cat just fits on it perfectly.


Thank you for looking !!! I hope you have all had a fantastic weekend !!!! I am thinking I should be changing the name of my blog to Junie's Candle Creations !!! I feel like I haven't made a card in ages.  But I am determined to get some done this week.

BIG HUGS and thank you for any comments left.

Love
Junie xx
