I'm in the homestretch of the 12 days. Can't believe I made it this far. (I'm a little relieved because I'm running out of creative ways to photograph cookies.) For today I've got another ice box cookie: chocolate ribbons. They look more complicated than they are and can be put together ahead of time and baked as needed. These are great for dunking in a glass of milk!
Today is my last day of work before the holiday on Friday so I'll be bringing in some of these cookies for a few co-workers. Time to start moving these babies out, lest they wind up in my belly. I thought they deserved some hand-made tags so I put these together:
I tried to keep them simple since I'm a little pressed for time these days. The stickers below inspired these tags. I found them at Target on Saturday and fell in love with the funky colors and graphics.
They reminded me of a Mary Blair illustration. Mary Blair is the illustrator who designed the conecpt for Disney's Small World and Alice in Wonderland, among many others. I love her work and could ride the Small World over and over just to soak in all the graphic details. (If they could just turn off that music!) I wonder who the illustrator is for this line? They are by K&Co. I also broke out the silver foil cardstock and thread again. I promise I will put these items away after the holidays (along with the baking pans)!

OK Valerie- you officially have a new fan here. Did you cut those with a Cricut or a punch? I am a digi scrapper, but I bet I could handle those! Also, I'm loving the cookie photos. If you start posting the recipes on the blog, you will have them typed up for your mini album. Cut, paste!
Thanks Christy! I traced those from some Heidi Swap ghost shapes (stars) and Maya Road chipboard (birds) then cut them with and xacto blade. I'm bad with the knife, so if I can do it, anyone can.
Good idea with the recipes. I'm all about easy these days...
