It's a new day and a new challenge over at

CAS-ual Fridays

This week, the challenge is to make

Clean and Simple

Mini-Cards.  

I LoVe anything miniature!

I toyed with the idea of making gift tags,

but I couldn't resist picking up this beautiful

stamp from Layers of Color.

I received this beautiful set of stamps as

a gift from my friend Nina Brackett

and it's simply....gorgeous.

The challenge calls for cards 4" x 4" or smaller.

I 'adjusted' and sort of split the difference so I

could fit this beautiful image on to the card,

so mine measures 4 1/4" x 3 3/4".

This card reminds me of the bees that make

their way in to each bloom of the flowers on

my patio.  As summer draws to a close

(and for the past 2 nights, the pots have come in due to frost advisories)

I will miss the days of watching nature do

what it's supposed to do.

We are very happy to welcome another

new sponsor to the Break Room at

CAS-ual Fridays

I hope you'll come play...my fellow

'Girl Fridays' have created quite a gallery

of inspiration for you.

Thanks for stopping by...and thank you

in advance for leaving a little love

here at The Open Window...from my heart to yours!
