Snowman and Snowflakes....

The theme for this month over at Sir Stamp Alots Challenge Blog is: Christmas Traditions! I just love this theme. My Christmas tradition is to make Christmas cookies and package them all up and share them with family!



For my card and for my gift bag I made these little jingle bells. I had bought them in gold and silver at our local Walmart store in the craft section.I then spray painted them with ivory spray paint, let them dry, then apply craft glue with a paint brush, sprinkle lots of glitter on them and let them dry over night!


I found this wonderful and fun Vanilla snowflake cake that I am going to make and I wanted to share it with you! I had to make a recipe card for it as I know this is going to be a hit in our house!
Bake at 350 oven.
Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 2 round layers. Blending 1 pkg. dry pudding mix into batter. Bake. Cool and remove from pans.
Draw snowflake shapes on paper. Melt chocolate and spoon into small resealable plastic bag, cut
small corner off bottom of bag. Trace over snowflake patterns with chocolate.Make 35 snowflakes.Freeze 10 min.
Beat remaining dry pudding mix, sugar and milk in large bowl with wisk.Stir in cool whip. Place 1 cake layer on plate and spread with jam, then 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Cover with remaining cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with remaining pudding mixture.Decorate with chocolate snowflakes. Keep refrigerated!

Have a wonderful day....thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!
