This is so sweet, no pun intended! Love all the textures and the smash of yellow ink that looks like spilled honey. And that bear is the best!!!! I've been on the fence on whether to get this little guy and the matching framelits before it retires this summer, and seeing your card has sealed the deal! Thanks for enabling me with your fun creation!

Thanks so much for all of your sweet :-) comments ladies!! Susy, I normally do not buy yoo many "cutesy" sets since I struggle with how to create with them but love this one! My hubby, Dave and I enjoy looking for bears when we travel to Shenandoah Nat'l Park so I knew this one would have to be part of my collection as well :-)
