eating 'Petit Beurre cookies' and getting crafty!



Ok, I agree, we are all cookie monsters here!!!
And there is one specefic butter cookie that is loved by everyone here in the house. It's Le Petit Beurre, a cookie that I know since my childhood and to me it stays one of the best butter cookies ever!
I was surprised to find out that the founder of 'le Petit Beurre' was a Frenchman, I always thought it was a Belgian recipe. I am sure you once have seen the beautiful advertising posters of the Lu cookies, the original ones have now become collectors items as they were made by famous artists like Mucha, Foulon, and Bouisset. Nowadays this yummie cookie is American as it was sold to Kraft Foods.
Find here (English) and here (Dutch)more about 'le Petit Beurre'

But what I wanted to point at, is the packaging of this cookies.
After all the 'Petit Beurre's that have been eaten here in the house, we have a pile of cute white ribble paper, and as I never throw these things away, the crafting can begin :-)
This is not a step by step tutorial, it is more a moodboard with tips and ideas .
