Welcome to this month's Denami blog hop!  The theme is mini cards which I believe means anything goes as long as it's small.  Even with that, I still had a little trouble deciding which of the two cards I wanted to feature so rather than make a decision, I included them both.  

If you are following along with the hop you would have come from the blog of the very talented Shirley Chang .  If you've gotten lost along the way or want to start from the beginning you can go to the Denami Blog. 


Now for my cards....




















The stamps are part of Denami's new release which you can check out on their website.

I used the following stamps for both cards:
Thank you for stopping by and please don't forget that DeNami Design is giving away TWO gift certificates to lucky hoppers who comment along the way! I hope you enjoyed my cards and all the others you will see today.

Have a wonderful day!!

Your next stop is the fabulous
