Well it seems that Miss Gingey decided that she needed that one perfect accessory...arm candy! A gingerbread man! But not just any gingerbread man...a hot, just the right shade of tan stud muffin. Gingey deftly convinced a famous baker named Mrs. Baker in her village to bake her up a romantic pool boy/lifeguard kinda guy named Sven (a girl has to aim high). Well no sooner had Mrs. Baker pulled Sven out of the oven when he took off, saying "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm Sven the Gingerbread man!" ....but that is another story...
Confused? So am I - but if you would like to play along, slide off your pan and over to the tea party: MMTPT156 ~ MOVE OVER MISS GINGEY! ADMIT YOU'RE JUST STINGEY! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
Cut the gingerbread boy in creamy caramel with Sizzix original, added the cherry cobbler hearts. Trimmed with liquid applique and heat set. Cut and scored the baking pan from going gray textured CS. Stamped the Waltzingmouse sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with white EP and some ginger (it doesn't have much scent...would use more next time). Tag punched, tied the gingham bow and adhered to the pan. PT - 2
We are on a short holiday in Maine, so my apologies for any delay in commenting. Thank you so much for looking, stay cool and have a peaceful day.

Oh, that is cool the way you've folded the baking pan, such a neat idea. I nearly went with a tiny little plastic gingerbread man on a tray - embellishments I've had for years - I never thought of making a tray for the big diecut.
