So here is my take on this challenge : 

We were challenged by Nikita to work on this theme. 

I have to say i dont have any stamp set or dies that go with this theme , 

So i just went with the first sweet thing that i saw around the house! 

My inspiration was a pack of cookies that we had bought from Subway the day before , 

they were wrapped in a butter paper bag with the subway logo on it. 

to recreate the feel of the package i made a nice vellum bag ! 

I used a sizzix die to cut out the top of the bag to create a nice shape to it.

 The cookies are made with paper and distressed to give that biscuit color . 
I added some twine , a pearl heart, a miniature rose and some sequin to finish the look .
There are banners and paper lace underneath the cookies. 
I have used almost all the colors (Except Kraft) from the lovely palette nikita picked out for us. 
Since i dont have a related stamp i have hand written the sentiment .

So you see with this challenge you have a lot of possibility of taking inspiration from your kitchen

and work with your imagination ! But if you do have related stamps or stickers feel free to use them ! 

So do join the FUN !!!
