Thanks for sharing and the chance.

Gina each time I see this little bear used in a card, it really takes me back to being a kid. I could really use this teddy bear for so many fun cards. I like the way you used the crumpled paper and distressed ink to create that 'old' look from recycled pages of a book or you can even use an old magazine if appropriate. Oh to recycle is wonderful. Thank you dear so very much for all your ideas and blog candy opportunities ot win. Hugs..
