doggy treats.

My good friend and sugar cookie artist extraordinaire, Marlyn (of Montreal Confections) created videos all this week featuring valentine cookie ideas.  We chatted last week, and she came bearing gifts: all of the cookies she created for these videos.  In upcoming posts (all before valentine's day), I'll take what she does best, and do with them what I do best - pretty them up with paper.

This one is for the dog lover...or maybe just the kid who would get a kick out of eating a dog-bone-shaped cookie (any of mine would qualify.)

I created a custom box for the treats.  The tag was stamped with lawn fawn's critters at the dog park, and the base in their woodgrain pattern.

Two dog-bone treats fit beautifully inside.

I ruff you.

If you like the cookies, check out the how-to video on Marlyn's youtube channel (click!)

Here's a bonus idea: if the bones were smaller, I would have piled them into a milk-carton-style box and decorated it as a dog-house.  There's always next time (wink.)
