hey cookie...

We're home...feels so great...I love coming home.  Our trip was completely wonderful though...much needed...very relaxing...happy to be together.

I'll keep my words short and sweet today as I have the longest to-do list on earth waiting for me... Our challenge at Emma's Paperie last week was to be inspired by colorful photo once again...here is my take on the pinks and reds I love so much.... I thought it would be fun to turn my paper, trims, glitter, and crepe paper into heart shaped cookie pockets for Valentine's Day....I LOOOOOVE Valentine's Day...so this was extra fun for me.    For a complete supply list check HERE at Emma's Paperie....many other sweet, colorful projects waiting there for you as well.

Next up....more fun announcements at Papertrey Ink....the excitement keeps building more and more each day....Nichole has just announced new Papertrey Ink acrylic paint, 100% wool felt,exclusive dies and impression plates, and many more exciting tidbits...I created this card to help celebrate with one of the contests Nichole has announced and that you still have plenty of time to participate in....the CPS sketch challenge....with another amazing giveaway as usual.    This card is of course based on the CPS sketch....and uses a new and oh, so lovable stamp set soon to be released here from Papertrey Ink.  I used Aqua Mist, Vintage Cream, Plum Pudding, and Sweet Blush cardstock on this along with Plum Pudding ink, lots of beautiful Melissa Frances paper, and Glimmer Mist and a Glimmer Chip from Tattered Angels.  Be sure to keep up to date on all of the Papertrey Ink Anniversary festivities on Nichole's blog...more fun coming tonight!

Lastly....the  Photo Inspiration Challenge for the week....another irresistible picture from A Creative Mint...thank you Leslie. 

As always...let this photo inspire you in any way possible...no restrictions...just have fun, and if you would like to link me to you creation when done, I'd love to see it!  I'll be posting mine and linking you to some special guest's creations on Wednesday of this week.

Enjoy!

Is the flower and leaf stamp on the CPS sketch card a PTI stamp? If so what one? I keep seeing it and thought somewhere I read it was PTI but can't find it on the site and thought I knew all the sets!

Beautiful everything! Your cookies look so yummy! I forgot to link my card from your last inspiration photo: http://melissaspaperie.blogspot.com/2010/02/love-you-forever.html

Thanks for these fun challenges! The latest picture is so beautiful!

This might be a silly question but when using paper and food, how do you keep the paper from getting greasy?
I'm on vacation right now and there is a Lappert's ice cream and coffee shop here-ohhhhh their cookies would be so good in your beautiful hearts! (My husband brought me 4 to keep at the condo and munch whenever I want.)
