Altered Cookie Jar

Having gone to a store recently, I was shocked to see fall decor and what shocked me more was when I went further in the store and they had aisles and aisles of Christmas out already! Well that got my gears turning for today's project.

 At the holidays, lots of baked goods get exchanged, so I prepared my first homemade gift idea for the holidays. A jar was decorated with some pretty patterned paper adding a wide Christmas ribbon. 

I decorated the top of the jar using patterned paper and stamping a doily on a die-cut flower which has been layered on top of a snowflake. 

All that is left is to bake your goods and include the recipe if you desire.  I decorated my recipe card and stamped a Doily in the upper right corner.  I stamped it once on scrap paper then I stamped it next directly to the recipe card so that the image was subtle and you are able to read the recipe clearly. 

I am adding this to Cards Crafter's Circle - Christmas in July! 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Thanks for popping over!
