Blessed are the Little Ones.........

  I have joined a group over at Splitcoaststampers called Crafters of Faith.  We have a blogging group that chats on SCS, and we have a monthly challenge to create a card.

  Darlene is the Hostess for November, and she has asked us to create with what we have that shows the innocence of childhood, or the pleasure in simple things, the wonder of nature or the pure fun of our world. I created with her suggestion to think of what speaks to that child-like spirit that you remember from your childhood. She asked us to,"try to create something that takes you back to your childish, unquestioning, innocent faith in God. Create a little bit of heaven on paper"!

  I found this Vintage image and sentiment from Create with TLC (digi images) that definitely took me back a few years! Did your Grandma have a big floral couch?  On my Mom's side- Grandma lived in the country- so we could look out the windows and see, well- it was mostly cornfields : ) 
  I did a little distressing and the BG paper is watercolored.

Here is the Sketch I used:

 If you would like to hop along to the other Crafters of Faith to see their versions of the challenge, you can click on the links in my sidebar.

This is the verse Darlene gave us for motivation:
Matthew 10:13-16
"People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. 15 Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them."
