Crafting 101, Tutorial Tuesday: September 8, 2009 & a 3d Challenge

I think I should win the "Queen of the Punny Titles" with this one! Yes -- this week we're creating custom candles for seasonal home decor or personalized gifts. It's super easy and the end result looks "store bought"!

First, here is a picture of a couple of candles that I made:

Next, here's a video I made showing you how to make your own candles:

Need more? Here are some pictures from around the Blogosphere that should give you some inspiration:

From Hero Arts Blog -

From our own Super Nova, Lori Tecler at Inking Aloud:

From Christine Creations blog:

Want to know how they burn? The Scissors Cut Paper Blog tested it HERE.

OK, now, it's time for you to play along and take the 3d challenge. Tag your photo "3d28" so that I can find it and pull it into the gallery. We'll pick a favorite project to feature in next Monday's newsletter and also on the front page of the site!

Tutorial Tuesday: August 11, 2009 (except it's Wednesday, the 12th...)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I'm a bad blogger.  It's the first week of school where I live and the transition back to the "real world" is not an easy one for me.  Anyway, tada - a day late but worth waiting for --

Tutorial Tuesday: June 4, 2009

Yes, I know, it's not Tuesday.  I'm two days late with my post because things here have been crazy.  You know that song, "Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys?"  Well, I'm working on my own version, "Mama, don't let your babies grow up to play travel baseball!"  I'm NEVER home, and there is no wi-fi at the park.  These crazy travel team parents want to be together all the time.  They want to socialize when the team is finally having an off day!  All I can think is, "I have stuff to do!"  I will have to find a balance... hopefully, I'll find it soon.  Bear with me!
