A Little Peek...

...at the first of four stamp sets designed by the fabulous Nina Brackett for The Craft's Meow. This one is simply delightful! And trust me... there is so much more to this gorgeous stamp set...you will love it!
I happen to think this set coordinates really well with the Hazel and Gertie patterned paper from the Stella & Rose collection by My Mind's Eye, so you'll also see Hazel and Gertie 6 x 6 pads and coordinating bits and bobs appear in the store on May 1st. ;)


See you tomorrow for another peek!
