More is More

Happy Thursday!  My monthly stamp class is tomorrow night and we’ll be making three Valentine/Love themed projects.  All of my samples are made and I’ll be prepping everything today.  I thought I’d share a peek at one of the cards we’ll be making.

This is a super simple design, but really elegant I think.  Colors are vanilla and Riding Hood Red.  Ribbon and sentiment are SU and the butterflies are from a Taylored Die from TE.  The die has stamps to match, but I love just using it on different patterned papers too.

I’m planning to do a little baking today so I’ll have dessert to serve tomorrow night. I made Chocolate Candy Cane Kiss Cookies a couple of weeks ago and they were awesome!  I have 1 more bag of peppermint kisses left, so I want to try the recipe with different chocolate chips to evaluate which I like better.  I originally used Ghiradelli Bittersweet chips and tomorrow I’m trying Nestle Semi-Sweet Mini chips.  BTW – I don’t use the peppermint extract that is optional in the recipe.  Everyone who tried these cookies seemed to love them.  You should seriously print out the recipe and save it for next Christmas (since the peppermint kisses are a holiday item.)

On tha yummy note – thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a sweet day!
