Hi Ya!

Gosh it's been a busy week here at The Open Window,

hasn't it ? !  A very INSPIRING busy week, I hope : )

Today we are wrapping up a 5-day event with

the designer of

and the designers of

It's has been one terrific blog hop indeed !

If you've made your way here from

my friend & teammate

Teri Anderson's blog

then you are in the perfect place to proceed.

If not, I would encourage you to start back at the

beginning over on the

My Little Shoebox blog

because do we have prizes ! ! !

As soon as I opened my collection of papers & embellishments

from My Little Shoebox, I was immediately drawn to this fun paper.

It's from the 'Lovely Day' collection.  Of course, birdcages are

so in and I just love 'em.

Last week, I created my first rolled flower using their die cuts

and the tiny one on this card is my second : )

They are super easy to create.

I love hanging birdcages in creative ways, so I used a variety

of gems & pearls and of course, baker's twine.

I twisted together Flax & Stone from The Twinery and tied

a neat little bow.

The mini-alphas from MLS were the perfect color for this card too.

I really do hope you will take your time to visit each blog on

the hop.  You have until this Saturday night to complete it,

so grab a cuppa & enjoy because here's what you could win:

Four spools of baker's twine in

YOUR choice of colors

or

One of these terrific collections from My Little Shoebox.

It is time to send you on your way.

The next stop on the hop is the uber-talented

Pattie Beltran's blog

I'll be back later with my guest post with

Rubbernecker Stamps.

Then later tonight, the prize posts begin from the

3rd Anniversary Celebration
here at The Open Window.

With $750+ in prizes to giveaway, it will take most

of the weekend to post . . .

Thanks for 'peeking' in ! ! !
