Snowflake Wars

Happy Tuesday,

Another quick card for you today.  I really like the layout of this card, but wasn't sure what colors to pick.  I started off making this card in brown.  Connor (hubby) thought it looked drab.  I went back my paper box and pulled out some blues.   I'm still not sure which one I like better.  I'm tempted to make a few in pink and maybe purple.  What colors do you think would work best?




 No Copics today!

Where Did The Cookies Really Go

Hello all,

I have been dying to share a some photos of this project.  I decided to wait until I had delivered all the gifts before posting.   I really enjoyed coloring the tags, but making the cookies was painful.   Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm no Betty Crocker.  I'm pretty sure I make my husband nervous when I cook.  Suddenly, he wants to hang out in the kitchen.    

Thinking that I had things under control, I baked the cookies while he was still at work.   Several hours later, I had burnt half of them.  I really tried.  I just do not have any talent in the kitchen.  If you want me to color you a cookie.  Call me.  If you need help making actual cookies,  I should only be asked as a last resort.   I burnt so many that I didn't have enough cookies to fill the glasses, Connor was kind enough to bake more.

In the end, I think the concept turned out really well.  I found these cute glasses, filled them with cookies.  We decorated them with ribbon and hand colored tags.
