Valentines Baking with FREE Printable Recipe Cards!

Hello! I sure hope you are all having a sweet week! Mine definitely got sweeter with these pretty & delicious cookies that I made for Erica to take to school for a little Choir party! I decided to make a little digital scrapbook page using the Project Life App and add in the recipes for these simple, but awesome Sugar Cookies and Glaze. The Project Life App is FREE to download on your devices and I use it for so much more than making digital pages. I edit my photos, use the template to create two 3x4 sized photos to print out as a 4x6 - as well as many other sizes, save journaling cards, and today I decided to use the Recipe Value Kit ($1.39 CAD) to create my own recipe cards. I also purchased the ability to add extra text to photos and cards in various fonts, and I use this feature all the time!

Feel free to save these cards and print them out for your own use! This is one of the best Sugar Cookie recipes I've found. It pretty much stays the size you cut it out as and I always take them out of the oven just before they turn brown. They are delicious as is, but I wanted to kick it up a notch for Valentines!

I used the Rhonna Designs App to add a fun frame around my cookie pic and a cute and fitting sentiment! Because, hey, why not?!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to know what you do to celebrate Valentines - whether it's baking, making cards, decorating or giving some chocolately goodness to your family, friends or yourself 💘 Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines!

Inspiration Saturday!

Hello friends! I know I'm getting this posted a little later than normal, but it is still Saturday, and you still have lots of time to check out all the inspirational sites I found this week!!

1) I've been playing around with decorating my Happy Planner this week and my daughter, who also has one, wanted some printables. Well, I was so excited to come across the Victoria Thatcher website - with amazing free downloads!! Here's a link to her adorable Oh Deer printable, and if you check out the right side of her blog there's a direct link to all of her printables in either EC or HP size. You don't even need to have a planner to enjoy these adorable images!! Grab a coffee and have fun looking through all the awesome designs she has - and if you're feeling generous, leave her a little thank you in her 'coffee fund' on the right side as well for all her hard work!

2) And, while we're talking about planner printables, here's another cool website with amazing Free Planner Printables! Visit Fit Life Creative to check out all the fun goodies they have available!! You can sign up for email notifications to find out whenever they have a freebie available. 

3) I tried these yummy Molasses Drop Cookies this week - and they were sooooo good! I sub'd the shortening for veg oil and actually made half the recipe, which still made a lot of cookies. I used my Pampered Chef small scoop and the PC stone baking sheet and they turned out great!

4) I thought this video from Lindsay at the Frugal Crafter was so cool! I've seen the new animated stamps before and she shows you a way to create this effect with any stamp. She really has some awesome videos available!

5) And, lastly, May Flaum has a free Camp Scrap class starting on Monday! I just love her crafty style, and you can check out Camp Scrap on her BLOG, where she'll be creating a new post daily - sign up for emails so you don't miss anything - and join the Facebook Group to join in the fun! She has prizes she'll be giving away and lots of inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend <3

 Peanut Butter cookies from Epicure

 Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Epicure's Almond cookie bars

Banana choc/butterscotch chip muffins

 

Peppermint Snowballs from Epicure, Butterscotch chip sandies from Taste of Home, which I substituted butterscotch chips for the pecans (since I forgot to pick them up!) & Cookie Jar Gingersnaps from Taste of Home.



I packaged up one of each cookie into a cute container from Dollarama for Amie's sports class teachers as a little Thank You for the last day.
