The Challenge #55


Hello....happy Monday! Christmas break is over, time to go back to work, would really love another 2 weeks off but school will be out before you know it, right? I really do love my job and all the little munchkins in my class and can't wait to see their sweet faces in the morning.

I have one card to share today for the new challenge at The Challenge #55 and this week the inspiration is a wonderful sketch. I pulled out some NBUB from PTI, Petite Places Barnyard and Barnyard Sentiments and it pairs so well with On The Farm. I had so much fun making this card, just love those sweet cows! Make sure you head over to The Challenge blog, there are new designers that joined the team and our Featured Designer too. 


Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by....enjoy your week!
