This is the 47th week of my personal 50-week States of the Union Challenge. Each week I research one of the 50 United States (in the order they attained statehood). I share tidbits of information about the state here on my blog and I create a card that is inspired by something about that state.
This week's state (the 47th one to attain statehood) is New Mexico.
I decided to go with this bit of New Mexico information for my card's inspiration... Averaging roughly 12 people per square mile, the people of New Mexico are greatly outnumbered by the livestock in their state.
You can find more photos/information about the state of New Mexico and my card on my blog...

What a perfect card for this state! Love those IA Farm Friends and the woodgrain background is perfect. So many fun facts on your blog, the most surprising to me was the little amount of surface water. Thanks for sharing!

Love the rustic feel of your card with the woodgrain background and mottled green panel. Your livestock are crazy, funny animals and perfect for this FUN card! Love the black and white check ribbon addition and the enamel buttons.
