Today's LSC challenge is so interesting. It is in honor of President's Day and we are to be inspired by one of the U.S. Presidents. Mine is President Woodrow Wilson because he kept sheep on the White House lawn to save money so as to not have to hire a gardener to keep the grass short. Want proof? http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com/Pets/Sheep.htm
I also got to make my last Valentine for the year with this digi image. Yea! Plus, I love sheep and have been wanting to use this image for a while.
Edit: I am adding my card to yesterday's Ways to Use It challenge, design 'rule' of odds. I have 3 sheep, 3 hearts, and 3 brads.

I am glad someone used the sheep. When I read that in Wendy's post this morning, it reminded me of a few years back when the Warden of the Scripture Union adventure centre here put in an invoice for 4 lawn-mowers at a business meeting. Of course they were sheep, but at first some people were wondering why he wanted that many mowers. I really like your sheep image.

I didn't know that about Woodrow Wilson. What a cheapscape! I guess he figured he was saving tax payers' dollars!!! Anyway, your card is adorable. The color combination is one of my faves!
