First, grab a pencil with a good eraser. Trace a heart on the eraser. Using an X-acto knife, remove the excess around the traced heart from your eraser.
Now that we have a heart stamp...
Use the heart pencil stamp to create the stitches on the baseball and add 'you stole my heart' or some other cute baseball saying to the center and attach your sucker.
I think these Valentine's are a definite home run!
