A Special Gift for a Special Friend
Hello there! I couldn’t wait to show you this set, but I wanted to wait until the gift had been given before posting…
The minute I saw this new set from My Favorite Things, Think Pink, I knew I had to have an extra for a dear friend of mine who has battled breast cancer. (This is the same friend who actually got me hooked on stamping! Thank you, Tina!! 
)
With the three little notecards and envies, I placed in the bag the stamp set, several acrylic blocks, a Brilliance Graphite Black stamp pad and a bag of Double Chocolate Milano cookies. She loved it!
I paper pieced the girls shirts (and even the tiny little pink ribbons).
I wanted to use this particular image on the outside of the bag, but once I had it together, I thought the image looked too small and the bag too big. Then I had the idea of wrapping the pink twill around the handle and using the image in the center. I was much happier with the result!
I’d like to mention once again that 50% of the proceeds from each Think Pink set sold (both retail and wholesale) will be donated to the research of breast cancer. Every little bit helps! (You can see the whole set here.)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! 
Cardstock: Very Vanilla Patterned Paper: Cloud Nine Design Baby Girl Stripe and Baby Girl Dots Stamps: My Favorite Things “Think Pink” Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black Accessories: Martha Stewart pink twill, Doodlebug white brads, Copic marker (skin), bag (source unknown). Card size 3” x 3”.
