Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: This posting showcases my newest design team inspiration projects for FarmQuest General Store challenge blog. The challenge theme is always 'anything farm and/or country goes' with country referring to rural or remote outdoors settings and related activities.
For March, I decided to do a farmhouse garden or meadow vibe for project #2 with barnwood, plaid, bee, ladybugs and wildflowers. For project #1, I also kept to a garden setting with flowering trees, birds, flowers, bees, butterfly and dragonfly!
when: #38 for FQGS launches on March 7 and closes on April 5, 2026.
what: Project #1: Gather in the garden spring season card
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
1. K & Company, 2021, Antique Garden collection: base cardstock with birds and flowering trees, cut-a-part mini card panel, text sticker, butterfly sticker and dragonfly sticker
2. brown retractable marker pen = Zebra Clickart for outlining
