April Showers Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It's time for our 12th Annual Cookie Recipe Card Exchange and you're invited! We have a special, free recipe card template to help you get started. We love cookies, and we love getting new cookie recipes to try, so all participants will receive a sweet little ScrapGirls Boutique gift just for joining in. Here's how to join in the fun: Design a 4x6-inch recipe card (300 pixels per inch) using mostly Scrap Girls products. Use one of your favorite holiday cookie, candy, or sweet treat recipes - something "tried and true" is preferred. All skill levels are encouraged to participate! If this is your very first time to try your hand at digital scrapbooking or if you’re a pro, please join in the fun! When you design your card, avoid putting any text within ¼ inch of the edges. Anything close to the edges can get cut off when the card is printed. Place your name or Scrap Girls Forum username somewhere on the recipe card (small text is fine). Save your design as a JPG file, with a file name that includes your name or ScrapGirls Forum user name (for example, my file might be called aprilshowers_gingercrinkles.jpg.) We want to know who made what! Attach your card to an email and send it to cookieexchange@scrapgirls.com. Please include your first and last name in the body of your email. A confirmation will be emailed to each person who sends a recipe card so they know their card was received. Please allow 48 hours for confirmation. Cards MUST be received by Midnight (ET) on Sunday, December 10th. Unfortunately, if you don't send in a recipe card, you will not be able to get a copy of all the cards. No exceptions. Your recipe card is your ticket to all the fun! We ask that you not post your recipe card in your Gallery, Facebook, or anywhere else until the swap is over. This way, we can all be surprised by the cards we get! You can post your own card in the Gallery or anywhere else anytime after December 14th. Please don’t sell or give away any of the finished cards on blogs, emails, etc. You may print some or all of the recipe cards as a gift for someone you know personally, but wide-scale distribution or sale is not allowed, as per our commercial use terms, which can be read in full here. You can submit more than one card, if you wish - the more the merrier! On December 13th, each participant will receive the links (via email - the same way that links come when you buy Scrap Girls products) to download the recipe card files.Participants will need to include their First Name, Last Name and email address for us to send them the recipes.

CRS Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sent the first one in. Now to get experimenting on a new one. If I can't find one, I'll send an oldie but goodie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm running out of cookie recipes I like so a friend just sent me one of hers that I've eaten a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb2and6 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I have never been in this before, but it sounds like fun. I think my Mom's Christmas Butter Cookie Recipe will be the one I'll share. My kids love them and look forward to them each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I sent mine in. Technically, it's a no-boil candy, not a cookie, but, hey, we could all use something sweet around the holidays. Carla, I like your idea of making a sacrifice by tasting various new cookie recipes -- just to pick the best one for us! (Of course that's the only reason, right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yay!! I have NO IDEA what recipe I have that scrapped yet...but I will figure it out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have just emailed off my recipe. I had to go searching for a photo I took which ended up being way back in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 You have my recipe card now as well! It's one of Logan's and my favorites--we pair "it" with hot chocolate and a candy cane while sitting by the fire pit. Yum! Can't wait to see what your favorites are!

April Showers Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 We've already got some tasty looking recipes! I'm having trouble figuring out one I haven't already done too! I'm sure I'll find one. My mother-in-law wrote cookbooks and was known as "The Cookie Lady." Seriously, when I got engaged and was telling one of my mom's friends who I was marrying, she said, "Oh, I know who he is, his mom is the cookie lady!"

Mikelle Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I participated in the cookie recipe exchange in 2010 and 2011. For the first time, this year I decided to print some of them for Christmas gifts. The 2010 exchange was smaller, so I printed that whole group of cards x 3 (for three different people). They look pretty neat, can't wait to give them as Christmas presents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I've given them for gifts in the past, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetC Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It's in the mail! Hubby and I got a little carried away with the taste testing. I forgot to put on the card that I get about 38-40 cookies from this recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetC Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I hesitated, but then sent in my second recipe. I'm almost afraid it tells more about me than it does the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
