Midnight Madness Sketch #34

This is my design card for MMSC #34.
I chose a cute little image from Victoria Case for this wonderful sketch!
Please check out the home of the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for more
fantastic cards from our design team!

Just a little side note... I am having problems with my blogger list on the right side. It shows up under the comments but not on the original post. Hopefully it will get fixed soon!

Pixie Cottage Fancy Folds

For Saturdays showcase the design team did fancy fold cards. As I had never done one before it took me a really really long time. The papers that I used are sugar coated roses from g c d studios. My saying inside says: Every good and perfect gift is from above, James 1:17
Rejoicing in God's gift of you! Happy Birthday.
I used a cute little sweet pea stamp from Pixie Cottage that was illustrated by Alisa. I am pretty pleased with the way that it turned out. It is so sparkly and shimmery.

MMSC #32 BAKING PROJECT!

We hope that you enjoyed our Christmas Blog Hop last week and were inspired by our lovely Design Team's Cards and Projects! Remember you have until Midnight tonight to enter your name in Mr. Linky for the Blog Hop and the Sketch Challenge if you haven't done so already. Thank you so much to all of you that participated. We really enjoyed viewing all your wonderful comments and appreciated your flattering responses. We will be randomly drawing names tomorrow for the prizes and announcing the winners on Friday. Good Luck to all of you who entered and be sure to check back for the winners.

This week we have another little treat for you. Our design team chose to feature a "Baking" theme with our sketch this week. Lots of people bake for the Holidays and share their yummy goodies with family and friends. We wanted to share with you a way to present those homemade gifts. This is a tradition in many a households that sure has been made easier with today's premade cookie doughs found in your grocer's dairy case. But, there is nothing like the smell and taste of made from scratch cookies. They fill your home with the fragrance of spices and chocolate. They can be crisp, buttery, rolled, glazed, sprinkled, frosted, decorated, filled with jelly, coconut or nuts and even fried. So, with that in mind, be sure to check each of our Design Team's blogs because we have shared with you some of our favorite cookie recipes for the Holiday Season.

Our Gold Star Winner Winner this week is:
#73 Jessica G

Our Remarkables this week are:

#37 Mrs. Plum
#64 Vickie (basement stamper)

If you would like to be considered for this award, please make sure your card link is posted to Mr. Linky by Sunday of each week.

THIS WEEK'S SKETCH

This is my baking project for this weeks challenge. I designed this cookie box for yummy homemade decorator sugar cookies! Every year I make loads of these cookies to give to family and friends. Included inside is the recipe for these yummy soft sugar cookies as well as the secret to my icing. It stays in place even if the cookies are stacked and yet is soft when bit into!
I used gingerbread men (themed chipboard stickers), found at my local walmart for only $1.50 per sheet. Martha steward punches both in gingerbread men and snowflakes were used for the cardstock trim. Ribbons were also Martha Stewart and were found at Archivers in the $1.99 bin. Of course I used my favorite bazzill card stock as well as designer cardstock from basic gray, eskimo kisses. I also did a coordinating bucket to hold those holiday chocolates! For the top of the bucket I used my circle spellbinders. They fit perfectly. For more fun projects please check out all of the other wonderful items done by our design team at the HOME of the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!

Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe

1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
Cream these together
Add 1 egg, mix well with beater
add 1 tsp clear vanilla extract mix well
Add 2 teaspoons baking powder to 2 3/4 cups flour
slowly mix into creamed butter mixture
(dough should be stiff, add up to 1/4 more cups of flour only if needed)
DO NOT REFRIGERATE
Roll out dough to 1/3 inch
cut out shapes with your cookie cutters
Bake in 350 oven for 10-15 minutes until very light brown
Let cool Ice using recipe below!

Decorator icing
(I make a huge amount to separate into colors, as long as the icing is stored in the refrigerator in a covered container, it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks)

5 pounds powdered sugar
2 cups crisco(vegetable shortening) (or butter but white icing will be slightly yellow)
milk (I use 2 percent)
2 tsp clear vanilla extract

In large mixing bowl (I have a stand mixer but hand mixer will work), cream together the crisco, powdered sugar, and clear vanilla add just enough milk until very thick but creamy
and here is my secret: Add 2 teaspoons cream of tarter
beat well. Separate into individual containers, add icing colors (I use wilton) mix in colors well.
Make sure that icing is covered, until use. I hand pipe my cookies but they can also be iced with a knife. Add sprinkles after decorating each cookie if desired. Icing will begin drying. I leave my cookies out for 1-2 hours to finish drying. Cookies can then be stacked on plates or in containers
By using the cream of tarter in the icing the outside is set but the inside stays soft.
Enjoy!

I hope you have lots of fun with this sketch and theme and are inspired by the design team! Now lets see your creativity fly!!!! LOL

Here is my design card for
Midnight Madness Sketch #30
I also combined this card with
the Pixie Cottage Challenge
that required stitching of any kind!
That was an easy one because I just love stitching on all of my cards!

I used a pixie cottage image that was illustrated by Artish.

Santa and his reindeer's throughout my childhood have always been magical to me! Santa and his reindeer fly everywhere on Christmas Eve. I just couldn't pass up this adorable image of Santa and
one of his reindeer checking out the list
from the inside of Santa's sleigh,
before everything is delivered!
They could be on your roof top on Christmas Eve!

The design team has created many beautiful cards for your inspiration.
