Loving this HQCB #51 Make Own Theme from Badge DT projects for 28 March 2024

 Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting shares my latest projects for my first challenge blog that I've started, Heart's Quest. Third year began on Valentine's Day! 

when: HQCB #51 starts March 28 and ends on April 13, 2024

what: Project #1= spring choices ---->Part A spring flowers and bunny plus Part B heart-shaped base and 'i love you'

notes:

1. white cardstock and pink/lavender cardstock = Art Skills

2. the layered heart/lace sticker (from a varied set) had "i love you" written on

3. the layered heart/lace sticker, pink gingham bunny (without the pearl gems) from a set, and the pink pearl gems = Crafter's Closet

4. the spring flower die-cuts = My Mind's Eye exclusive for Simple Stories for Page Pieces-Wildflower; 3 out of 14 pieces [new]

5. teal green marker for dot perimeter bordering and outlining = stash item

6. black ink pad = Hero Arts for some outer cardstock edges

7. I added the pink pearl gems to give the bunny some face features.

and

Project #2= spiritual Easter choices ----> Part A crosses and Part B heart-shaped base, heart-shaped gem, and John 3:16

notes: not showing on HQCB; my vision and the execution didn't come out as I'd hope and I'm my worst critic....sigh....

1. brown and pink cardstocks = cut from 6" squares = Art Skills

2. mini dot gems, clear heart-shaped gems = Crafter's Square

3. cross/x stencil = Simple Stories

4. arrow stamp and 3 crosses stamp = Creative Devotions/American Crafts
