Tutorial – CD Cookies
Thanks to Debbie at www.cookstudio.co.za who put this tutorial together for us (a while ago and I’ve just realized it’s been in my draft folder! I blame pregnancy and new baby for my lack of brain recently)
CD cookies are a fun and inexpensive way to create crafty party or wedding favours, kid’s birthday treats, baker’s day treats and valentine gifts!
Step 1
1) I have purchased plain white CD wallets from a stationery store and cut coloured scrap paper to fit inside. If you want to leave the wallet plain, add some wax paper so that the biscuit does not leave any grease marks.
2) I have cheated and filled my CD wallets with Woolworth’s large “Snaps” which are R19.95 for 12 cookies. Leave plain, drizzle melted chocolate over and scatter with 100 000’s or bake your own chocolate chip or shaped cookies. Seal the wallet at the back with double sided scrap tape, or a sticker.
Step 2 - Chocolate drizzle and flower labels
Download all the templates (the flower labels, wedding thank you and “enjoy”) from www.cookstudio.co.za (go to FUN).
Print out on glossy photo paper. Remember to change your printing settings: Go to printing properties and change the paper to glossy or pro photo paper and put the print quality on to HIGH. This will ensure your labels come out beautifully bold and bright. Cut them out with a cutting blade and ruler or on a guillotine.
There is no need to print out the entire sheet of labels. Open the template, click on the snap shot tool (it’s a camera), outline the label you would like to use, and paste it to a word document. You can then re-size as well.
Attach the labels with double sided scrap tape, tie with ribbons and gift!

Handmade Mobile
Wow, it’s been a long time since I last posted on my blog! I’ve come up with excuses in the past for not being the most regular blogger, but my excuse this time is my favourite one – I’ve had a baby!
Because we didn’t know whether we were having a boy or girl (we had a gorgeous little girl) we chose a farmyard theme for the nursery. Some of my very creative friends came over and I had our very own home edition of extreme home makeover, transforming our spare room to a beautiful, warm and baby friendly nursery. Anyway, that’s a little beside the point – what these very creative and special friends also did for us was to make the most beautiful farmyard mobile – made with a lot of love and patience and of course creative genius, and too beautiful for me not to blog on (even if I’m a few months late!)
Don’t you just love the animals sewn with a suede felt – all by hand. It truly is beautiful and our darling Layla just loves watching the animals when she’s being changed. A big thank you to our Craft Club girls. xx
ps – thanks Tracy (from Scrapkits) for the pics
