Rudolph Day and Pixie's Snippet Challenge

I've been trying to get my act together for a few months.  My goal was a Christmas card a week.  Shall I say, I'm about 15 cards behind.  I started with the best of intentions and planned on playing along with Rudolph Day....well, I've fallen behind, so today I decided that I'd at least get a card done for May.  When I read the rules, I thought it said you need 3 projects....So, stressing a bit, I ran to my craft room and decided to use my Poppy Stamps Die - small Madison Window.  I am also using one of my favorite Graphics.  I've used it often and it works great behind the window.  Santa is making a list....are you naughty or nice?  I'm nice and don't listen to anyone who says otherwise!  :-)  After finishing these three cards...I reread the rules and it said....UP to THREE!    Well look at me, I now have 3 more Christmas cards! 

These cards will work well as snippets too.  Everything is from snippet pieces, except the red base on two of the cards.  (ok, so that's kind of a lot - the white one is all snippet)  I started with the green window....then the tan window and finally the red window.  I think I like the red one best.  Cuddlebug embossing folder gave the front a good  bit of texture. 

If you follow me at all you know I'm getting ready for a vacation with my best buddy Dee Dee (she's been my friend since pre-school...I'll tell you the whole story sometime).  We are traveling to my daughter's wedding.  Well, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed, but as I check things off my must do list, I'm feeling more and more comfortable.  Below is one of the checked off items.  I've been making dog cookies for my dogs for years.  My husband has been sharing them with all the neighbor dogs, who now automatically turn into your yard.  So, now, I'm making more cookies than I used to.  I'll have to make one more batch before going, but here's the fruits of my labor....

and here's the finished project.  If anyone would like the recipe, it's easy, and pretty healthy (at least we know what's in them) and you can cut them any size you want.  I prefer small ones as they are a treat, not a meal!

Email me if you want the recipe, or leave a comment with your email address.  Be sure to use the word "dot" rather than the "."  Example:  JudySmith@sampledotcom I think this will fool the spammers and pfishers.  If not....I'll always think it should have!

Here's where I'm linking my cards:

May Rudolph Challenge:  check it out here.  There's not a lot of time left to join in, but if you have a card you haven't shared....now's the time to join in. 

And....Check out Pixie's Crafty Workshop and make a card or two from snippets.  I love this weekly challenge.  Di gets us inspired, which is something I think we all need...at least I do.  So, check out Di's great challenge here.

Tomorrow I'm headed to Chico.  I"m taking Karen's card class.  She is one talented gal and we not only love her cards, we love being able to get together with everyone while we put our kits together.  Check out the cards and if you'd like to purchase a kit....give Karen a call or email her to see if she has any kits available.  Check out the cards here.

Have a great week!
