Sweet and Simple Birthday

Hello sweeties-

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Wow...Christmas 2012, it's here already!!  Where did the time go?
Did you get everything on your wish list?
I know my sons did!!  My oldest just turned 16 on the 23rd and my middle baby turned 3 on Friday!
It is a very expensive month for us, but what are you going to do.

Since my little one loves to count, I made good use of our challenge over at SweetStamps.
This weeks challenge is:
Sweet and Simple Birthday

Here is what I created:

Sweet and simple right?!?!  I LOVE it and so did my little one.  I have seen these candles being made, so I thought it would be a perfect time to try.   I know it's not anything over technical, but the simplicity of it is what intrigues me more than anything.  Since I do try to CAS every now and then.

He even asked if we could light the candles!!  LOL

I used American Craft: MerryMint paper to create the candles. 

I cut strips of 2x4 paper, placed a piece of 1/2" Super Sticky Adhesive on the inside of the paper I did not want to show.  Snipped a piece of embroidery and began to roll.  This this until all three candles were completed.  I used more Super Sticky Adhesive to hold down the candles where I wanted them to stay. 

Inked up my Happy Birthday Script sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Ink and DONE!!
