		<description><![CDATA[Make easy cute bird nest cookies!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember those wonderful <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Chocolate-Cookies-II/Detail.aspx">no bake chocolate cookies</a> you made all the time growing up?  Mix a little cocoa powder, oats, and a few other ingredients and you had delicious cookies?  A few years ago I found a no chocolate version for my husband.  (He&#8217;s allergic to chocolate!)  It uses peanut butter instead.  You can find the recipe <a href="http://www.grouprecipes.com/15258/peanut-butter-no-bake-cookie-recipe-e-mail-recipe.html">here</a>.  I needed something to take to an Easter brunch but wanted something a little different than my usual cupcakes with green coconut and jelly beans on top so this is what I came up with.  It was SO easy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Bird Nest Cookies" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schlosserdesigns/4494522021/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4494522021_3e5a940b04.jpg" alt="Bird Nest Cookies" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="php3oxIwP" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schlosserdesigns/4494526623/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4494526623_8cfd7aa0a2.jpg" alt="php3oxIwP" /></a></p>
<p>Just make the cookies following the instructions.  Immediately after scooping them onto your parchment paper (I used a cookie scoop for this) use the back of the cookie scoop to make a little indent.  This squishes it just enough to allow a small crater, perfect for little jelly beans.  All I had on hand were jelly beans, though next time I&#8217;d probably do the little Cadbury chocolate eggs, then you&#8217;d have peanut butter AND chocolate (plus of course a few Reeses peanut butter eggs for my husband)!  If you have a hard time getting them to stick, use a little peanut butter and glue to the cookie.  (Peanut butter works to glue your tongue to the roof of your mouth and it also works well as edible glue!)  Hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter weekend!  See you tomorrow for Tutorial Tuesday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a quick <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #00cccc;">Happy Spring Card</span> I did this weekend in honor of the 1st day of Spring.   This would also make a great Easter themed card!   I used my <a href="http://www.schlosserdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=4">Have A Tweet Day</a> clear stamp set for this one.   I <span style="color: #339999;">LOVE</span> the little nest stamp.   If you look at the stamp set you&#8217;ll see a little &#8220;bundle&#8221; of sticks.   With this, you can make your nest as big or as small as you&#8217;d like.   Just stamp it multiple times in an oval shape to get your nest!  Or if you want a border, just stamp it around in the shape of a circle or square.  (It&#8217;s super easy to do because your stamp and the mounting block are clear so you can see right through everything to line it all up!)</p>
<p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/ScizYipmAmI/AAAAAAAAA_U/U2POVI0zDbA/s1600-h/IMG_2539.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316696594310365794" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/ScizYipmAmI/AAAAAAAAA_U/U2POVI0zDbA/s320/IMG_2539.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I stamped the eggs on white cardstock, cut out, and layered with different thicknesses of foam tape.  (Don&#8217;t forget that you can stack two layers of foam tape to get even more dimension than just one layer.   Here I adhered one egg directly to the nest, put 1 layer of foam tape on one, and 2 layers of foam tape on the one in the middle for added dimension.)</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve stamped the main image, just put a border of velvet rickrack around it and secure the corners with brads.</p>
<p>Happy Crafting!</p>
