Nothing's better than a Christmas Cookie -- MM #110 Challenge

I wasn't so sure I was going to be able to post my card this week.  Our internet just came back on today after being down since Friday afternoon.  I was starting to get a little worried.

This week's challenge was to use "Christmas Food" in our card this week.  Well, I have small stamps of candy canes, gingerbread men and peppermint candies, but to me that was the obvious choice.  So I took the week to figure out what I wanted to do.  Friday the idea popped into my head after realizing that our internet, cable and phones were down.   I was contemplating making cookies, but it was a little too warm to turn the oven on, so I figured out another way to make cookies...hahaha!

I had bought a stash of mini Hero Art stamps a few years back and thought some of them would be perfect as round molasses cookies with white frosting sentiments, snowflakes and trees.  I used Tim Holtz's Distress Ink in "Gathered Twigs" to make my molasses cookies and used an EK Success punch to punch out each cookie.  I cut the cookie sheets and cooling rack out of Stampin' Up's "Smoky Slate" card stock.  I sponged around the smaller piece of card stock with SU's "Smoky Slate" ink to make the edges of the pan look baked.  I made the cooling rack from strips of card stock that I glued together.  I stamped the oven mits from a Stampin' Up stamp, but I don't know which set it came from, sorry.  I stamp the oven mits with SU's "Cherry Cobbler" ink.  I had gotten the "Baking Up Fun" dies from Memory Box for free in an order I placed online some time ago and cut out the spoons from Gina K's "Craft" card stock.  I used a strip of designer paper from Echo Park's "Very Merry Christmas" 6x6 paper pack to make it look like a table runner and mounted everything on Gina K's "Pure Luxury White" card stock.
