Just a Note of Thanks

Good morning! Earlier this month I received a box of cards from Betty and daughter Kaylee who are from Grande Prairie, Alberta for Send A Smile 4 Kids Canada. The box was huge and filled with all different kinds of cards.

These are just a very few of the cards made. 

Kaylee even drew the images for some of them!

 I made this thank you card for them from the Bugaboo Freebie School Bear Pencil that's available today and used the current Stella Says Sketch. The Stella challenge is open for another 3 weeks.

Grab your Bugaboo Freebie it usually changes at noon and have a great weekend. I have another week off and am going to play in my craftroom!
