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
then you are in the perfect place to proceed.

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

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 ! ! !
