    I'm sure it was fun to find such a pretty floral on a kleenex box and use it on your card... so pretty and creative. Lovely card for a long-time friend. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble, along with your participation in Heart's Quest and Use Your Stuff, our previous partners for additional chances at our random draw.

      Thanks! We met in kindergarten but by the middle of first grade or so, we had some play dates and then my mom invited her to my birthday party after the school year ended and then she moved to the same little town that summer, too, I think. Anyway, the friendship just started building from then!
