Our theme is Thank you cards. I'm sure you will agree there is a need to reach out to others and let them know how grateful we are for them in our lives.!

For my card I used products from the Happy Forest Friends suite by Stampin Up®. Hope you enjoy it!

If you want a quick and easy card this is the one for you. This card was designed using the Designer Series paper from this suite which already has a great background and all I had to do was add a few elements to the card front.

For the inside of the card I just added that cute owl and tree stump a sentiment and acorn. I hope you enjoy this card and all the others you will see while hopping along!
