Hi everyone! It's Sunday and that means another Paper Players challenge...Laurie is our hostess with a sweet challenge for us: Christmas Baking! I'll be starting that this week, hopefully! Check out this cute prompt:
I knew immediately what I wanted to do for this challenge, as I still had some of the sweet Candy Cane Lane DSP from last year, and I had barely had a chance to use it! I found a great sketch for it at Case This Sketch:
and so here we go:
Aren't those little "cookies" cute? I cut them out of the DSP and adhered them to an Early Espresso panel that was cut with the scallop die from Seasonal Layers; the cookies fit perfectly! My little gingerbread man is the star of the show, so he's popped up on dimensionals:
I added a stitched scallop border (Lawn Fawn) and some thick baker's twine along with a sentiment from Winter Wishes (ret). My final touch was to round all the corners, which is always a nice finish! I hope you'll play along with us this week.....can't wait to see your sweet treats! Be sure to check out all the DT's samples at the Paper Players blog as well!
And speaking of sweet treats, as I promised, here are the final pix of Cassidy's Minion gingerbread house:
I have to admit, the banana-embellished roof had me in giggles! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Cassidy did a great job on her gingerbread house. She should submit it to Paper Players this week! Those bananas will certainly keep pesky pigeons from landing, too.
