The details on this sweet girl are A-dorbs! Look at her little hand heart and long lashes, not to mention the curls and ruffled skirt! Of course she ‘hearts’ her besties. So cute! All she needed was a few accent layers to set the stage for her sweet message. I gave her some bling with a piece of the shimmery Love You Always Designer Series Paper, but otherwise this is all cardstock and cuteness!
