Cristin's Cookie Cutter Challenge

Have you ever looked at a cookie cutter that you purchased and wondered just what the heck it was??  I do this ALL the time.  I truly thought that when you purchased a cookie cutter, you could only use it for whatever design it was intended for.  Then I stumbled upon Sugarbelle's blog. I soon discovered that I was soooooooooo wrong.  Sugarbelle has this uncanny ability to take a cookie cutter and create just about anything!! I on the other hand have not developed that part of my brain............yet.

Have you heard of Cristin's Cookies?  Well if not, you MUST go check her out. For the past few months Cristin has been creating cookie cutters.  PINK cookie cutters.  She then challenges those that participate, to create a design using that cookie cutter. She post them to her etsy shop and offers a limited amount for the challenge.  A end date is set of when the cookie needs to be completed.  You send her one picture of your completed cookie and she creates a collage of all those involved in this project.  Can you say F.U.N.

I have been stalking reading Cristin's blog for a while now and have relished in the thought of trying to do this.  I am so intimidated by the fact that my brain just does not see what others see.  Then it came to me. Isn't that the point?  To create something that no one else see's? And even if someone does see the same thing as me, that's okay too!! We may have used different colors, styles, icing........I CAN do this!!! 

These cute little pink cutters go super fast.  So I knew I had to jump on this as soon as I saw her reveal  her knew "Mystery Cutter Challenge".  Then the nerves set it.  Can I honestly do this?  What is this?  What do I see?  What do you see?

When my cookie cutter arrived (very fast I would like to add) I traced it onto some paper and started doodling.  I can't draw for anything, so I doodle.  At first look, my thought was a baby Zebra, no wait a Giraffe. Then it hit me!  I was so excited!!!  I DID IT!!!!!  I actually was able to think "outside of the box cutter". Want to see what I did?

Isn't this the cutest little baby dinosaur you ever did see?  I was actually laughing when I added the little pom pom's on the top of her head.  I think it kinda makes her look like she has pony tails :)

I honestly can not wait to see what cutter Cristin comes up with next. Maybe I will see you at the next challenge.  Together we can do this!! Please check out Cristin's Cookies etsy shop here to purchase you own pink cutters.
