Loving the HQCB Love Theme #8 Bonus Reminder Card

 Welcome to my personal blog to feature inspiration projects made for Heart's Quest and FarmQuest challenge blogs owned by me. Yes. HQCB started in late February this year and FQCB began one month later. 

HQCB's Love Theme #8 requires the word 'love' (a verb tense or another language equivalent) PLUS at least 1 animal (or animal print design) image. 

Some examples for each would be: beloved, I love you, Mi amore, charity, agape, We're loving ....

and

paw prints, claw marks, zebra stripes/skin, tiger stripes/skin, and any non-human animal you'd like

Competition started October 14 and ends October 27, 2022. 

For the main launch post I used a zebra stripe patterned heart stamp. For the reminder post, I've featured some very old Sunday School/VBS children and pets stickers along with some plastic die-cut animals for a toddler's birthday card=

Some design and vendor notes:

1. top folded kraft cardstock for the base

2. green print background cardstock is from an old KI Memories/Hampton Art pad

3. yellow and white with a touch of pink print cardstock is My Mind's Eye

4. the 3 rectangle patterned cardstock strips are from an old album kit by Illustrated Faith

5. the gold text sticker with love, and the clear text sticker with love are both Creative Devotion products

FQCB and HQCB Reminder Posting Projects Showcased

 Howdy! And Heartfelt Greetings from FarmQuest and Heart's Quest Challenge Blogs' owner, Becca S! 

To save time, I'm going to share both cards I made for the reminder posts released 24 hours ago to feature her on my personal blog about FQCB and HQCB. 

A bit of short history, HQCB was envisioned about 1 year ago however I felt like I didn't know enough technically about getting a challenge blog started. That changed in January when I took over the weekly management for 2 challenge blogs' that I've been on the DTs for. 

Heart's Quest officially launched its first challenge on February 28th, 2022. And FarmQuest started 1 month later. Living in the USA heartland is part of the reason why I have 1 challenge blog called Heart's Quest. I also love the idea that your heart/soul quests for creativity. 

FarmQuest News was an agricultural newspaper published and sold by my father in Missouri for many years in the late 1980s-1990s. I assisted him in typing/early word processing, old-fashioned layouts for printing, and also wrote a home lifestyle features column for many issues. He felt like and was proud of coining the name "FarmQuest". To honor his/our legacy in farming/ag-related businesses and living in 3 Midwest states since I was born, I wanted to have a farm/rural country lifestyle vibe challenge competition to reflect my heritage.

Thanks for being a reader, follower, and/or participant for 1 or the other or both blogs!

FQCB's Theme #12 reminder posting card (porch furniture and/or quilts):

This card's die-cuts are from 2 companies (Simple Stories and Fancy Pants Designs* NEW) and the checked gingham papers are from Hot Off The Press available through Paper Wishes website. What a pretty summery porch/deck themed card this made to brighten someone's day!

and from

HQCB's Love Theme #7 reminder posting card (love + flower(s) image(s)):

Look at all the bling, colors, and flowers!

Studio G is for the butterfly aperture mauve card base, Crown Jewlz for the Prayer Card (been trimmed down), several different sets of gem blings, Freckled Fawn alpha tile stickers, and an old striped patterned paper from my stash hoard.

HQCB Love Theme #7 Inspiration Project and an Extra Card made

 With a happy and excited heart, I'm showcasing 2 cards made for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog!

As owner of HQCB, we have a DT member taking a short break so I took my project made for the reminder post and used it instead for the main post on the 14th of September. 

Love Theme #7 requires the use of the word 'love' along with at least 1 flower image. 

So here's what was shared on HQCB's September 14th post:

and here's an extra card made on September 18th for partial design inspiration using foam flowers found at Dollar Tree!!!:

Oops! I didn't include love on here anywhere!!! It has flowers and bling  but not the love.......bummer

There was another made today, Sept 18th that will be published early on the 20th in the reminder posting for Love Theme #7. Make sure to look for that. I've bought some embellishments lately that I've been experimenting with this afternoon that were used in the purple-white-orange card and some waiting to be shown. 

Here's the link to take you to Heart's Quest's Love Theme #7 posting from Sept 14th=

HQCB EXTRA Love Theme #6 card to showcase

 Welcome! For Heart's Quest Love theme #6, the theme requires "love" and cupid or an angel. 

Before August 27th when this theme ends, I'll be sharing 3 cards each showing a cupid stamp that I have from my stamps box.

 Design Team duo Dottie S and Lori S have their projects with angels shown in the HQCB posting from August 14, so make sure to use the link I'll share later in this post. 

Heart's Quest Challenge Blog alternates themes of heart shapes (using different colors or combos of colors) and expressing love with different topics of images. 

Cupid love or angel love is the theme for Love Theme #6. 

The word 'love' can be a verb form of the word, another language equivalent like amore or agape, and can be part of a phrase, sentence/quote, etc. 

Acceptable formats of paper-crafting to submit to Heart's Quest are: scrapbook layouts, bookmarks, tags, ATCs, cards, and TN/journal/planner spreads. That's quite a variety plus each participant can submit 3 themed projects per challenge!!! 

Here's an extra cupid card/ATC size that I had made for this theme:

a. kraft cardstock ATC size base (2.5" x 3.5")

b. mirrored foil

c. small red textured scrap that the cupid stamp was applied on

d. bracket sticker (Webster Pages)

e. misc. silver and red glitter hearts plus 'love'  from stash

f. easy peasy to make!!! and very charming!

HQCB Love Theme #5 for travel or transport inspiration project showcased

Heartfelt greetings as I showcase my inspiration card for

HQCB Love Theme #5. 

Lots of cards elements are from Simple Stories and from Lake Life paper pad which is by Fancy Pants Designs. There are the outdoor and camping icons, car, lots of luggage and the word 'lake'. Then the word 'love' shows up in that Lake Life paper. I underlined 'love' using green and rust tones that match the Simple Stories' elements which definitely helps those words to stand out now. Overall, a great card to give someone on vacation or maybe that's acquired a lakeview cabin. 

HQCB #5's

Required theme elements to have are:

*include the word 'love' (can be loves, loved, loving; part of a phrase of sentence; could be a language equivalent like agape, amore, etc.)

AND

* at least 1 image that is travel or transportation related.

The travel or transport could be a postcard, luggage, vehicles, maps, compass, destination locations for travel, etc. You know how to do this! :)

This #5 competition is open from July 14-27, 2022.
