First ask you mom {sweetly} if you can 'boil' some crayons. Mom will think it's cute that you said boil instead of bake and let you...
I have wanted to make a cream/white/monochromatic card for a while now and when I saw this week's Mojo Monday #93 sketch I thought it would work perfectly with all those layers.
I pulled various shades of cream out and started working. A couple of years ago, when my brother and his new bride were on their honeymoon, I went to their house and dropped off a few groceries and I think a casserole if I remember correctly. Anyway, wouldn't this card have been fun to leave there?
Then break them into bits {being sure to scatter hundreds of crayons on dining room floor} and place into muffin cups...
Eat a real cupcake with sprinkles while you wait for the crayons to boil
Take the crayons out when they look like this...
Wait for them to dry completely and pop them out of the muffin cups. Voila!
So then when D woke up he took over parenting duties and I got to scrap!

hi there! What a good mom you are and how pretty did those cupcake crayons come out!!!! Okay for the card...WOW it is beautiful! Great job, I love it!
What great shots of family time. Love the crayon cupcakes. That's such a great idea for all those little bits and pieces of crayons that you don't know what to do with. Card is beautiful. I need to make one for my daughter and husband who just moved into a new apartment this week. Thanks for the ideas.
Okay I'm not sure which I like more, the card, the crayons, dad babysitting or the cupcake! If I were there I'd probably pick the last one!!!
Beautiful card, and what a nice thought too!
Your daughter in the first picture looks like a little angel...even my oldest, soon to be 13 yr old, said....awwww when she saw the picture. You are blessed.
We have made the melted crayons before...they are so fun! I LOVED reading your story you make me laugh.
Your card is beautiful and elegant! Way to Mojo!
You did! It was a yummy casserole too! And you can still leave us the card because I think it is beautiful!!!!
Gorgeous card! My son is only 2 and I can't wait to make some of those colorful crayons!! I am sure I will be more excited about them than he will! Your daughter is precious!!
Your daughter is ever so sweet! I love her idea of boiling crayons. LOL Did she colour with them afterwards? :) BTW, your card is fab!
Yes she does color with them! For a little while. They are great for beginner 'colorers' too! Thanks y'all for the comments-so great to hear from all of you!
What happens next?! Do they become ornaments? i love the bright one.
Great card too! :)
PS- what a doll your daughter is!
Ha-Katie we must have been commenting at the same time! Delaney colors with them and so does Mirielle. They are great for little hands to hold onto. Although what a neat idea to use them as ornaments!
Great pics and cute card!
