Penny’s Paper Doll Family Square Tag
By Maria Cole
“Do you know someone with a new baby on the way? You can give them a lovely, handmade, baby gift with Penny’s Paper Doll Family! I made this baby shower gift tag by highlighting the collection’s soft pastel pinks and greens and not to mention, that adorable baby buggy! To make it more life-like, I popped up the baby buggy and added some pink Stickles for a fun touch.
