Christmas cookies and Free recipe!

My neighborhood had a cookie swap and had prizes for taste and presentation. So I had to throw my hat in the ring. I used my all time favorite Cowboy Cookie recipe and created a recipe card in My Digital Studio. I used my A Cute Christmas download stamp set in MDS so that I could also use my matching Candy Cane Christmas fabric, (#121715) cardstock, and Candy Cane Buttons (#121718) to make the recipe card and bag work together.


I bought a white ceramic plate from the dollar store and dressed it up with a coordinating decor elements rub on.(Candy Cane Christmas #120912) I can make about 15 different things with that set and they all make great gifts!!


Since I wanted the cookies to stay on the plate I had to use a cookie bag to hold everything. I found a simple red and white candy one, but I would have preferred a clear one.


If you would like the recipe, comment below and I will email the cookie card.
I didn't win, but I'll try again next year!

Altered Pumpkins

I talked about these yesterday but never actually posted their picture. I started off my Halloween decor mission with 3 foam pumpkins, a package of decor elements, and a package of black suck on rhinestones.

I cut apart my phrase and sections of my Jewels and then transferred them to my pumpkins. The jewels have a sticky sheet you use to Transfer which makes it really easy!! I might still add some black lace, but I'm not sure yet.

Spooky Decor Elements serving ware

I don't have any Halloween dishes really, but I bought the sheet of decor elements to make my Halloween pumpkins, and then I had lots of pieces left over.

I went to walmart and bought 3 inexpensive white porcelain dishes and applied my Decor elements on them. I just tested them out at my Open House and they have done quite well at holding food and being washed and tried. I am not going to try the dishwasher, but they do well by hand! Yeah!

I could even make place cards and invitations with the coordinating stamp set!

Decor essentials attempt

I have textured walls so I have never tried applying the decor elements to my walls since they will not stick very well. It has always been sad since I love them. I had one that came as a hostess gift, but I had just kept it in the package until today!!

I just bought the clear blocks and two clear stamp sets and have been loving the stamping ease with clear!! Plus they are so easy to store lots more stamps in limited spaces!

Anyway, I have a full set if blocks and I needed to keep them somewhere safe so my little baby did not run off with them. I bought a metal tin, then remembered my decor sheet. I pulled it out, trimmed it a little to make it fit and applied it to my tin. So easy, yet totally cute! I think it took me all of 5 minutes to do it all!
