 CAS-ual Friday has a fun challenge this week. I love making fall cards, the colors just seem to be easy to work with.  I grabbed my new brushed pumpkin stamp and some scrap pieces of paper.  Added a sweet little sentiment and some ribbon.  The best part of CAS-ual Friday challenges.... The Clean And Simple Part.  I made this card in about 10 minutes!

Soccer season has started here in Vegas.

DeNami Mini Cards Blog Hop

Welcome to the DeNami Blog Hop --- Mini Cards.  

Hopefully you are hopping from Pam's blog... if not you can start HERE.

Pretty sure my kids start school in about 20 days.... which means new teachers.   How cute would this little note look sitting on a teachers desk.  Nothing fancy, just the thought is what makes a little card like this special.  Sometimes I feel the pressure to make the "perfect" card, but then find myself procrastinating and never getting around to doing it. What a shame, no excuse with these cute little Mini Cards.  Grab some small stamps, scraps, and go for it!  My card measures 3 1/4 wide by 3 3/4 tall.
