I love Doodlebug Designs paper and today I had to use it for the theme, "Down on the Farm".

 
I recently went on a field trip with my school to the farm and I had a first.  I got to milk a cow!  I can't wait to add my pictures to this layout.

I love this little cow.  He had to go onto my layout.

I had to add this cutie as well.
