Hi everyone
Am really liking these “shadow cards”
You all make me want to come and live in the USA to get a little closer to the Paper Ink crafters.

I accidentally linked up the wrong image for mine because I did two contests in the same post! It won’t let me edit it, is there a way for you to remove #41 so I can link to the correct image?
The URL is correct, I just selected the wrong image to go with it.
Thanks!
