Loved your video, love those colorsvwith the embossing paste, I thought the same thing before you said it that it looked like bubbles, lol. The sentiment is awesome and I like you I've have been on the lookout for years and years for a friend set like this. I have an awesome best friend and have always stumbled to make her a card that conveyed that it was about a best friend. I love seeing all you girls use the same supplies and how different you all use them. I would love to win, I've been checking my emails 50 times a day to make sure that I don't miss when it goes on sale, lol. Thanks for inspiring and the chance to win.
