Busy, Busy, Busy

I havnt been on here for so long, I almost forgot about it!
But hopefully I am back with more silly antics and a little bit of crafting too.

I have been very busy making cards and scrapbooking. The girls made their own valentines cards to send to unsuspecting boys at school (growing up too fast).

I have been making cards for the flurry of birthdays I have in January and February. Here are a few examples;

These cards were made for my nieces. I used a glue gun to fix the crayons to the card and then used a heat gun to gently melt the crayons and let the wax run.

IDEA: My children have lots and lots of broken bits of crayons in the bottom of their pencil box. Why not recycle these. Another good idea you could use is to melt the crayons in a small aluminium tray  (bend the edge of the tray to make a spout before heating). Pour the liquid wax into silicon moulds (heart shapes, cupcake shapes etc.) to create new and unusual shaped crayons or embellishment's for cards or scrapbooks. (BUT TAKE CARE AS LIQUID WAX IS VERY HOT).
