a note of thanks

This adorable Pen Pal Bear is the stamp of the month for the Progressive Challenge at Gerda Steiner.  I made this card using a sentiment and paper from TLC, Create.  I  plan to give this card to my daughter who is a teacher and gets gifts from her students.  She had a student go to Hawaii and bring her back a fresh flower lei and several other items and I was just shocked.  We went to Hawaii as a family so my daughter was explaining to me the smell of the flowers and I was just picturing it also and thought it was just so sweet of the child and her family.
