I mentioned the other day that I was making Christmas ornaments for my grandchildren, something I do every year. A few of you wanted to see what I was doing so I thought I'd share.

Merry Monday #267
Colleen has a color challenge at Merry Monday this week - blue, green with silver/white/vellum. There are so many blues and greens that you can get a variety of looks with these colors. I went with whimsical using chartreuse and aqua.
The trees are from W&W and the silver embossed sentiment from PTI. I wanted a colored border and didn't have the right color of glitter paper so I took some Aqua Mist and embossed the edges with Sparkling Snow Glitter.

Here's a close-up.
I cut up crayons into small shavings and melted them in glass ornaments using my heat gun. It took a little maneuvering to move the wax around and keep from burning myself. I used two colors and they wanted to melt together so I had to keep adding and heating and moving.

This is such a sweet card Bobby! I like the sparkle peeking out around the edges and those delightful little trees! Your ornaments are beautiful, what lucky grandkids!!
I love these trees in these colors, Bobby!!! Gorgeous! Such sweet ornaments!
Your card is really darling, and another example of your clever mind ... the glitter edging is fabulous, Bobby!
I feel like one of your grown-ups is going to want an entire set of these fabulous ornaments - thanks so much for sharing - you know I've been dying to see them!

Your ornaments are amazing - what a great idea. I have seen this done with acrylic paint or alcohol ink, but never with crayons. It sounds like a bit of doing. I love your card, that color combination is one of my favorites!!! Great design here, and great take on the challenge!!
That glittered edge is such a fun touch to this darling card in the MM gallery.
Beautiful handmade DSP, Bobby, and cool idea to sparkle the edges! You make us all want you to be our grammwah! The ornaments are awesome!! Hugs, Darnell
Bobby, awesome card for the challenge, I love those rows of trees...and those ornaments, how cool are those, thank you for sharing the photos and how you do them! And thank you for playing along at Merry Monday this week!
Your blue and green trees are fabulous Bobby...and lined up so straight too!! And I love the sparkly edges peeking out too...lovely, lovely card! And your ornaments are also beautiful...never heard of doing it with crayon shavings and will have to try that! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday!! :0)
I like the way you used the tree image repeatedly on your card, so pretty! Thanks for playing Merry Monday!
Love the row after row of trees. Beautiful and CAS.
Your card is so sweet! I love those rows of pretty trees, Bobby! And great idea for creating your own glittery frame. I really sparkles in the picture so I can imagine is is super sparkly in real life. Adorable card!
The ornaments for your grandchildren are so pretty. What a great idea (minus the burning fingers). :) They colours are so pretty! xx
Lovely shimmer and great use of that fabulous colour combo, Bobby ... the precision stamping is fantastic! Brilliant ornaments ... elegant and gorgeous ... such a clever idea! Hugs, Anita :)
I fall behind, but I do catch up (apparently I've established a 'pattern' - but how fun it is to see your gallery of WOW, without interruption!). Your forest of chartreuse and aqua trees is absolutely charming and completely delightful! Love it...as I do your Christmas ornaments! I would never have thought of doing this...but have now! Added to my 'stuff for Ms. T and Mr. C' list! So glad you shared these!
