Baby Cookies

I haven't decorated sugar cookies since Christmas, and I was getting the creative itch. Since I have baby on the brain I thought doing some baby cookies would be fun. I made enough to bring into work and share and some to freeze for later. Some of these designs were inspired by the creative cookie stylists on flickr.

 

 

Platter of cookies for work.  We have lots of babies to celebrate at work.

A modern color theme. 

Various Onesie cookies.  The sugar cookie that started it all for me.

The whole spread that I brought into work, I didn't last long. 

It may be awhile before I have time to spend on cookies like this.  My creative itch has been fullfilled for a little while.  As much as I would love to spend some time to create valentine cookies, I think I need to focus on other things now.  I say that now, with good intentions, I guess we shall see.........

Whoopie Pie

Made some Whoopie Pies tonight using the recipes from my new Christmas gift, (thanks Matt and Lisa), Whoopie Pie.  I'm liking the book so far.  There are many great choices!  I can't wait to try the S'more Whoopie Pie and Peanut Butter Whoopie!

Red and White Christmas Cookies

I wanted to do some red and white only cookies for the staff at work and this is what I came up with.  Its the first time I've done snowflake cookies and been happy with my decorating results.  :)  I practiced on paper for a bit.  :)

Christmas Gift Boxes

I saw this idea of using clear lid gift boxes on flickr (can't remember which talented person it was).  I love the idea of the cookies being visible and you can create a pretty presentation.  These gift boxes were for friends and family. Can't wait to do some more!

Winter One derland Order

I was busy this week after school with a 1st birthday order.  I made up 6 dozen winter cookies, cupcake pops and a cupcake cake.  I only took pictures of the cookies.  By the time I finished the cupcake pops and cake I was too exhausted to take pictures.  I still haven't completely cleaned up the kitchen either!

Shutterfly Cards Rock!

Shutterfly is giving away 50 free cards if I blog about how great there products are!  Well that's easy!  I love Shutterfly products and have ordered many things from them. I've been a fan of Shutterfly products for several years. Last year I was able to order some great Christmas cards with pictures of Kate. They offered such a big variety and I couldn't decide which I liked best so I ordered a few different ones. What made these cards even more special was that they had a Special Olympics design and part of the proceeds benefited them. Most of you know how meaningful the Special Olympics is to Ryan and I, so this little added touch to the card made it that more unique for us. The quality of the cards are always top-notch. They are printed on high quality card stock and image quality is superior. They also offer holiday cards.

Some fun photo options I could use this year

Cards are not the only thing that I've ordered and been happy with. Last year I made some great photobooks and calenders as Christmas gifts. I love all the options and layouts that the photobooks have. They make great keepsakes and I highly recommend making one to preserve some of your favorite pictures. I used to be a scrapbooker, but since discovering Shutterfly I've been making all my photobooks digitally.
This year I'm looking forward to creating some great Christmas cards again and maybe some photo mugs. I noticed the photomugs have multiple photo layout options and different graphic designs now. These will make great gifts too.
