Tea light Candle Cake and Box

I've finally gotten some MoJo back.....I've been making items banners, cards and gifts for family and friends but only recently have I gotten my MoJo back.  I've been in my craft area more in the last few weeks!  

I made this tea light candle cake and box for DS to give to his grandmother while he was visiting her this summer.  

These are fun to make!!

I would like to enter this for these challenges:

I've created another card....this one a Thinking of You card for my step-mom.  

Sorry for the bad photo....the cardstock is Peach Shimmer and it was a little difficult trying to get the right angle.
