Did I make you hungry? :) I wanted to make a special gift for my friend who is hosting a women's bible study in her home and wanted to use the Bread of Life stamp set along with some tasty treats. For my card I stamped the pretty bread image and colored it and carefully trimmed it out and then added some pretty finishing touches. While I was thinking of the cookies I wanted to make I realized that I need a somewhat large box to have them lie flat in as these cookies can't just be tossed into a bag. Then an idea hit me! My box is a cereal box with a face lift:) I took a 12 oz cereal box and glued the flap portion closed and then cut 3 sides out of the now top, of the box. I cut a window in the top flap and adhered some acetate to the inside flap and then covered the rest of the box with some pretty K&Co. paper. Once the box and cookies were made, I added a lining of wax paper and a dozen cookies fit perfectly! I tied the box closed with a strip of ribbon and had my gift ready to go! The cookies I made are super yummy if you like pumpkin, and as fall is starting to show, so I love me some pumpkin;) Here's the recipe if you want to try them, ( a tip about getting perfectly formed drop cookies, use a cookie scoop. It's like an ice cream scoop, just made for cookies;) and maybe make a few extra to bless someone with. 
Welcome to another Customer Spotlight post! This week I'm so excited to share this darling baby card, created by Jacqueline Ernst. For her card she used this sweet image from the Precious Baby stamp set, which is available for only $5.50! Isn't that an amazing price for a stamp set...love it!!
It must be! Cuz the penguins have their hats and scarves on!!! :-) I had so much fun tonight making this card with the adorable new Sweet n Sassy digi "Festive Penguin". The sentiment is from the "Winter Friends" clear set. Isn't he (or she?) sweet??!!
Happy Sunday everyone! Today I have a blast from the past to share with you...This sweet image is one of the very first Sweet 'n Sassy digi images that I downloaded, almost a year ago! It's such a cute image!! I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but this image makes me think of Valentine's Day...
Is this not the cutest image ever!? I adore snowman images and this one puts a smile on my face every time I look at it! This sweety snowman (called Smiley Snowman) is available as a digital download for just $3.00! That's another reason for joy!
Today's card is just a simple one that uses the SCS sketch for the week. I used some designer paper from Me and My Big Ideas to help me choose my colors and then I colored a cute Jack 'o Lantern from the SNSS clear set "Sweet Pumpkin" for the main image. Isn't that a great sentiment?? I'll use it for a lot more than pumpkins, I'm thinking, and it's just one of a number in the set. Be sure to stop by the store and see the other fun choices for your autumn and winter crafting. Can you believe that Christmas stuff is already coming out in the stores?? Yikes!! I'd better get busy!
OK...so maybe Fall is in the air and Christmas is just around the corner...That fact is starting to sink in! :-) And while I may not be ready for colder weather, what could be cuter than this cold-weather, I need a cup of "Cocoa" card, created by Mandy. Mandy is a regular Sweet Stop sketch challenge participant and I squealed with delight when I saw this darling card she created a few weeks ago. I adore the bling that's been added to the cup and how about that bottom cap, what a fun embellishment!
This is a new Sweet 'n Sassy image called Harvest Blessings available in clear set form and it is gorgeous! I decided to try a different coloring technique and have found another coloring medium I love....watercoloring with Distress Inks. I found the best way to have a workable palette was too blot my ink pad onto a non pourous surface, such as a plastic lid or I used my image placing plastic square that I use with my Stampamajig. I then used a fine tipped water brush and had some paper towels near and colored away on my stamped watercolor paper. You do want to be careful not to add too much water as you will get very washed out colors and even watercolor paper can curl with too much moisture. The last little detail I did was once the image was completely dry, I went back over sections and highlighted them with a white gel pen. My little tag is from the office section on WalMart and fit the sentiment perfectly. I added a punched border and some pearls to finish it off. I hope you are having a good day and don't forget to be thankful!

Greetings!! Raise your hand if you participated in this week's Blog Hop...What fun! I had a wonderful time creating with the new Christmas stamps!! Part of the Blog Hop included a few challenges; one of them was using non-traditional Christmas colors on a card. When I was poking around, looking at posts, I found this lovely card created by Mary Mahey. Mary managed to create a card for each of the challenges - way to go!!
Hello friends! Today's card uses one of my favorite Cocoa digis, Sew Happy Cocoa, which is also available in clear stamp form. I think I like him so much because I love to cross stitch and quilt as well as stamp. And isn't that sentiment from the new clear set Prayerful Thoughts perfect? I colored Cocoa with Copics and added some pretty lace from Grandma. And I even found an old buckle in my stash. How fun! BTW, have you made your cards for the challenges yet? You have an excellent chance to win a free set just by playing along!
