Paper Pieced Sweetie

Hello! Wednesdays are my day to post for La-La Land Crafts so I give you Sweeheart Marci!  She's from the latest Valentine Collection.  Every time I sit down to color up this adorable Marci I remember my daughters when they were small and wore their hair in pigtails just like this, giggling and making homemade valentines.  (now they won't hardly let me touch their hair, boohoo!)

I really enjoy these cute Marci stamps and this is definately one of my faves.  I decided to paper piece her dress to match the background paper.  And her buttons are tiny twinkles (small rhinestones) that I got in my Key Ingredients kit in December.  And then the pink ball-tipped pins kinda resemble the pony holders in her hair and add a fun element to the card.  I always dip the ends of pins in crystal effects and hold it til it dries and creates a protective ball on the ends so nobody gets poked ;)

Have a great day and happy crafting!!
