Daisies and Butterflies...


"Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs, and all the precious memories of times that once were. Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and firefly's glow and all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know. Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls and snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls. Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew, and these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you."
~ Karen Barnes

The Craft's Meow

The Craft's Meow's November Release starts today! (You can read more about the releases at The Craft's Meow!) The design team members are showcasing a sweet set designed by Mabelle R-O called Valentine Wishes.

Isn't that little girl the sweetest? I've used this technique before with Mabelle's images and I love the result each time. I stamped and fussy cut the girl image onto white cardstock and paper pieced the heart. Just a touch of blush colored marker was added to her cheeks. She is set off with a patterned paper background and stands on some die cut grass and luscious May Arts silk ribbon. One of the many sweet sentiments included in the set was stamped to finish off the card.

So are you super excited about this month's release from The Craft's Meow? So glad that you stopped by today to help celebrate! You can be eligible to win Valentine Wishes from The Craft's Meow by visiting and leaving comments on the participating design team member's blogs.

  1. What a great idea for making the image pop when the background papers are colorful. Those are some of my favorite Cosmo Cricket papers.
