Title: "Scratch & Sniff Birthday Treat"

Keyword: AUG09VSNSNA1
Day/Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009
Time: 5PM (EDT)


I have so many birthdays during the summer months, including my own. And it is always handy to have a nice treat to give as a simple gift.

My challenge to you is to make a simple birthday treat to give and you must use the Scratch N Sniff technique to make it sweet!

You can make a card, treat bag, gift bag, etc. using the Scratch N Sniff technique on some part of it. Have fun making a sweet treat for someone else!

(tutorial for the Scratch N Sniff technique can be found in the resource section of SCS)

I'm smelling some snickerdoodles, love cinnamon!

I love using this technique! I did it for one of my technique classes and have about 8 scents already made up.... now which one to use? ... :)

ooh yum! I've never heard of this before. Off to the kitchen ;)

chocolate!

Wish this was Smella-VSN.

I will be fixing the link to the technique.

Link is fixed.

Thanks Robyn!

You're welcome Ryann. Have fun cooking and I'll be waiting to see your plating and presentation.

Diane and Randi, glad to see you could make it. Looking forward to seeing your dish for this challenge.

The lights are so bright here on stage that I can't see if anyone else has dropped by. Anyone there?

this was a new technique for me too!! now my craft room is a bowl of cherries :)

Hi Robyn!!

Hi Stephanie. Glad to see you showing support for your fellow Chef.

Kind of quiet, was the traffic bad on your way into Kitchen Stadium?

Wonder what scents will fill up the kitchen this afternoon? I smell cherry so far!

maybe it's early on or first sunny day of the week and people are out playing, but they have to eat sometime!

Hello! Is this where the party is?

I don't have Kool-Aide so I used some Crystal Light :) It doesn't really smell though...

Hey Ash!

I have found that there is no good day or time for challenges. Everyone has so much on their plates that they make it or not. That's alright...they really can play whenever they have the time.

Ashley, you found us. Welcome

Ryann. I don't do Kool Aid or anything that is diet so I found a friend that had one of those single servings for the water bottles. Whatever you use, you at least get the idea of how to do it, even if the smell isn't as strong.

Hi Ryann, hi Robyn!

I only have raspberry iced tea Crystal Light. Maybe I'll wait until tomorrow when I go to Target. This sounds like fun! I'll bet my son's friends would love to get a card that smells good!

Hi everyone!
Wonder if this technique would work with instant hot chocolate mix -- I do love the smell of chocolate.

Hi Ashley!

hi Sandy!

Randi, do you have any suggestions for Ashley and Ryann as to what is the best to use to get a stronger scent?

hi Stephanie!

I think the tutorial says you can use hot choc mix :) smellerific!!

That'd be yummy with a cupcake stamp,

Sandy, Try it and let us know.

has anyone tried lemon or orange peel? I have some in my spice cupboard, I'll give it a try.

Hey Robyn, can we get a link to the gallery for this challenge please?

That is a great thought.

what about chocolate covered strawberries - wonder if you could mix kool aid & hot choc mix.....

yum-o!

ooooo...what about invites for a Christmas Cookie Swap with scratch-n-sniff cocoa....who wouldn't want to participate then!!

Ohh, I have lemonade mix but I think it has sugar in it. I guess that would either burn or attract ants?
