    Your card is gorgeous - I love how you can make the scrim look good on a girls card as well as a boy's card. Did you leave Steve enough left over for his own needs? lol. CoB

  40. Hi there! I adore this card and the sentiment! I get a lot of things from Pink Petticoat as well, but I can't seem to find where this one is. You noted that it was part of the Perfect Papers set, but I'm just not seeing it. If you could let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

    Peace & Luv,
    Jeannie
