Thank Ewe

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am so happy to be back with you for another Guest Design creation for Newton's Nook. Today, I am sharing the sweetest little lambs you have ever seen! I decided they needed to be a little unique so I gave them bright pink hooves and ears. I made a matching glittery pink background with one of my favorite stencils, the Newton's Nook Plaid Stencil Set.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: If you could see lambs with any color wool or hooves what color would you choose?
A: Me? Pink, of course!
