Well you asked for it!

Several folks who received these candles for Christmas asked for instructions so here they are! This is my first tutorial!

What a wonderful Christmas I have had! I received so many wonderful gifts among them a cuttlebug embossing machine. I have been drooling over one since I saw many wonderful cards made with the machine. Tomorrow I go out in search of the elusive folders that are part of the process. Hope Michael's has some or I may need to order over the internet prolonging the wait!!

I am so excited today I received word that I was picked the winner of Erika Martin's blog contest. So I will pay it forward and create my own New Years giveaway! I have a Night of Navy stamp Pad to give away! To enter follow instructions below.

Wow...Just Beautiful. Read your tutorial. Sounds easy enough even for me. The last candles I tried had drip marks running down the sides. What a mess. I'll let you know how mine come out.

I love the white trees on the blue background on your candles. I have only tried a few candles and have kept them very simple. Your tutorial has given me the incentive to try something a little more complicated on mine. Thanks for sharing.
