One of the best parts of the holidays is the baking of dessert goodies. The whole house smells so fabulous, baked goods are eaten while they're still warm, and the kitchen is the favorite room of family and guests alike.
Our family has an award winning fudge recipe which has been passed down from Mother to Oldest Daughter through at least 5 generations now, and I can remember my mother whipping it into fudge frosting for cupcakes. Mmmmm, so good, but the fudge all by itself was pretty wonderful, too! So I'm celebrating those childhood candy and baking memories with this one little card.
The image is from Angie's Digital Stamps and I'm entering their challenge this month.
I colored that darling little baker mouse with my ProMarkers, then cut him and the mat/frame with my newest die set, "Double Running Stitch" from STAMPlorations. I love that die set and you're going to see it getting lots of use.
I dug out a scrap of ribbon and tied it diagonally across one corner of the image, then added the bow. The background dp was done with left over scraps which came from my 12 x 12 scrapbooking papers. I'm not sure how long the scraps have been waiting to be used but I know I bought the papers more than 2 years ago.

I think fall weather is finally settling in. I'm absolutely delighted because now it's cool enough to start baking and making candy for the holidays. I have tons of recipes for make-ahead cookie doughs which can be tossed in the freezer without any harm to the texture of the finished cookies and now is the time to start making those so that it's an easy job later during the holiday rush to get freshed baked cookies in a really short time with little fuss. That leaves more time for crafting and that can't be a bad thing. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
