Thank You Note

I used the same Avery Elle label and sentiment from my last card to create another thank you note. I am planning to enter this in the following challenges. Thanks so much for looking!

Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes

Stampin' for the Weekend: Anything Goes

Baby Thank You Note

The blue and green in this card make me think of baby boy, but this card could certainly be used as a non-baby thank you also. I picked out this Avery Elle stamp for the teeny little arrow. This week's challenge at the CASual Friday's blog is to use at least one arrow on your car -  CFC107: Hunger Games . (Clever title, don't you think?)  I am also entering this card in this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Anything Goes.
