My FQHCB #8 April 2026 Anything Home Goes theme DT projects

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity, a personal crafting blog!

who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ gal who likes her mesh-mash style mixing products from different vendors as well as ages of selected products. I also have loved fine arts and practical arts since a young age! I started learning to sew at age 9! My first project was a pillow then a drawstring bag/purse that I still have! A simple elastic waistband gathered skirt was my first 4-H club county fair project that I wore for the style show and then took off to be left for the judges to evaluate. I think I got a blue ribbon but that was a very long time ago!!! 

where: these cards are my owner/DT commitment to FarmQuest Home Challenges Blog

when: #8 starts April 2, 2026 and ends on April 30, 2026. 

why: The theme for FarmQuest Home is easy: 'anything home goes'. This can be any items/activities typically found inside or outside of any housing: dorm rooms, apartments, cottages, farmhouses, etc. Today's examples are 1 with a mix of interior/exterior showing a camera and a view of a house and the 2nd with interior items of a camera and makeup. You could have Father's Day cards with dad mowing, taking a nap, mowing the yard, etc. You could have Mother's Day cards showing grandma rocking her grandbaby or reading a book, etc. Those are a few ideas.

what Project #1 = Happiness at coming home card



how for #1:

1. base CS check print cut to 4" x 6" = Memory Lane by Fancy Pants Designs

2. pale pink floral print CS punched circle = also Memory Lane by FPD

3. home view, 'home', camera = ephemera from Memory Lane by FPD

4. happiness banner sticker = THICKERS by American Crafts

5. Thistle Breeze alcohol ink marker = applied to the banner sticker, 'o' in home, the lens for the camera, and the partial flower on the left side of the punched circle = NUVO 

6. Walnut/brown mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn (edging/distressing look)

7. med-brown retractable smudge-free marker = Zebra Clickart used for the corner brackets

8. pale pink crystal gems = Nicole Brand Crafts bought through Office Supply.com

~~fun farm memory from teen years: Spring Break of my senior year in high school was spent with an aunt and uncle; the uncle asked if I wanted to get up early and ride along as he takes some pigs to the stock market in Peoria, IL! After all these years, I've forgotten if it was at 5am or 6am but early for even my school day regular schedule! The drive wasn't that long, only 15 miles or so but the pig grunting serenade lasted the whole way there!

That same week, I was introduced to the sport of racquetball!!!! Oh my! I'm nearsighted and left-handed!!!! Not a good combination! Disastrous! My uncle by marriage and 2 guy cousins came along who are all right-handed and had played many times before this particular week way back when. 

This uncle's been very kind and generous to me through the years. He even took me golfing one time! 

At almost 88 years old now, he's still going ice fishing this winter!!!! Yikes!

HQCB Bonus Card for Love Theme #4 love for stars with a mini slimline

 AWESTRUCK!!! AWESOME!! AWE!!

This blog is dedicated to showcase the inspiration projects I make for my challenge blogs, Heart's Quest and FarmQuest. This post's new bonus make is a mini slimline card for Heart's Quest Love Theme #4.

*use the word 'love' (or it can be a form or other language equivalent)

AND

*use at least 1 star image

NOTE: use the link to the main challenge post and find the 2 freebie images I created that merge the 2 required components!!!

Deadline is June 27, 2022 at 12:30am CT/Chicago.

****************

BONUS inspiration project:

The smallest freebie image was printed small on bright blue copy paper and then I used magenta, pink, and purple markers to fill in the stars not having the words of love. 



Pink cardstock base is about 3.25" x 6.25 or 6.5" for the mini slimline size. uneven scraps of 3 different purple hues were used along with a white glitter decorative tape and 2 strips from a variegated washi tape in blues, pinks, and lavenders.

2 silver corner dazzles from Paper Wishes website were accent elements. And old alpha stickers spelling "AWE" were used on the right side. 

This card could be for encouragement or congratulations/milestone. I might even use it for a couple's anniversary that is coming in a week or so.
