Welcome to our Challenge Feature for this Week!

Reneé has a "wooly" cute feature for our new release this week!

Hello Ai fans!

It's release day over at Art Impressions plus it's time for a new challenge!


I was lucky enough to get the the new Funny Farm Sheep set!


I absolutely love the Funny Farm collection from Ai!
If you love animals like I do you need to check them out.


Lately I've been really into rustic cards and I felt like this set was perfect for that style of card.  Plus "rustic" goes perfectly with the Barn Dance challenge!


The set has many sentiments that compliment the adorable sheep.
I can't decide which one I love best.


I live in farm country so I can see myself getting TONS of "ewes" out of this set! Ha ha!  I love puns so much!!  Thank you Bonnie for this adorable new set!



Copics used:
R0000, R30, R85, W1, C0, T2
