Challenge #68 Make a Thank You and send it to someone

'Tis the season of Thankfulness. So let's have a little extra fun with this challenge. We all like to make cards and other creations but I know as far as I'm concerned I accumulate more creations than I give away. So in addition to making a "Thank You" I'd like you send it to someone and to post who you have sent it out to. Who wouldn't appreciate a handmade card in the mail this week?

The Paper Girls have really done a great job providing inspiration. I hope it gets your creative juices flowing!

Here's my creation (Erica):

Becci

Charity

Michele

Amber

The winner of Challenge #67 is:  Entry #4 Karen
