Christmas Cookies
Guess what I was baking the other day. Christmas Cookies!
I absolutely love Christmas time. There's just something so wonderful about the smell of fresh backed cookies and pine needles in the house.
These are possibly my all time favorite cookies! And really easy to make.
I have to admit that there were more of them but they were gone by the time I thought that I should take a picture...
The Recipe is super simple and is basically the Basic Vanilla Cookie Dough from Martha Stewart.
Then I used a round cookie cutter, make sure you get an even number of circles, since I had one left in the end ;)
Take a smaller round cookie cutter, or if you don't have one (like me) take anything that you think might make a good cookie cutter really (mine ended up being a funnel) and make a hole in every second cookie.
Bake, wait for them to cool and then comes the fun part: Spread an even layer of, in my case raspberry, jam onto the cookies without holes and press those with holes on top of them. Let them sit for a bit and then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
So yummy!

Taufkarte / Baptism Card
Hi, long time no see. Sorry about that.
Anyways, here are two cards that I made over the last couple of months. The fist one was for a challenge at Creadoo. The theme was "Commercials". I used the slogan of the German Post Offices "Schreib' mal wieder":
The second card was done for my cousins son's baptism. The idea was shamelessly stolen form Stempeleinmaleins :)
Sorry for the color being slightly off in the first picture, I was in a rush to take the photo the night before the baptism and the only lighting I had was my desk lamp...
All stamps are by Whiff of Joy. The first one is Charlotte with Mailbox and the second one is Willow with Toddler
I hope you have a nice weekend and happy 3rd of Advent to everyone!

Ja, mich gibt's auch noch! Ich hatte in letzter Zeit nur absolut gar keine Zeit für Basteln jeglicher Art. Ich hab mich letztens dann aber doch mal wieder an ein paar Projekte gewagt.
Das erste war eine Geburtstagskarte für meine Mutter:

Then I tried myself once again at a scrapbook page after a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays:

Und zu guter Letzt noch eine relativ simple Geburtstagskarte nach einer Anleitung von ChickenScratch:

2011-02-22 Scrapbooking continued...
This week I have 2 new Scpabookpages to share both after sketches from Sketchy Thursdays.
The first one was a sketch for a spot on the Design Team. I have no intention to become a design team member so I didn't play by all the rules ;)
