Loving HQCB Theme #23 Romantic Valentine DT inspiration project

 Loving this time of year!

I've started this blog draft on the 27th and its my/our 27th wedding anniversary! Isn't that fun that it's #27 on the 27th! Getting married between Christmas and Valentine's puts our personal gift-giving together in a short time frame yet it keeps my heart full and happy!

My hubby's love language is food. He gifts me with food, candy, and soda all the time. Too much. A couple of days ago, he got me peanut M & Ms which is one of my favorite candies. This morning he bought breakfast for us. My love language is expressions--cards and tag as well as physical acts of expressing love by filling his med planners for him every week, updating 'table/chart' lines in his diabetes sugars' log book, sewing buttons on his shirts, giving him his buzzed haircuts, etc.

Heart's Quest Challenge Blog Theme #23 is about using heart/love PLUS romantic Valentine. 

Clasped hands, hugs, XOXO, Cupid, etc. 

This is what I created with several die-cuts from Jen Hadfield for my DT inspiration project for HQCB=

[theme #23 requirements: 7 heart shapes and 'I love you' sentiment PLUS the gold foil lips, XOXO washi tape, frilly doily and traditional Valentine colors that hint of romance]

The swallowtail bird, sentiment, and lips die-cuts are from Jen Hadfield. The XOXO washi tape is Pen + Gear. The rest are stash items bought at Dollar Tree. I just the graphics and how all the different red and pink tones have made an interesting display card.

Featuring FQCB Theme #14 burlap option requirement BONUS reminder tag

 Howdy! Welcome to the blog and a visit to the farm, FarmQuest Challenge Blog design inspiration reminder project, that is!!!

I own 2 challenge blogs--FarmQuest and Heart's Quest--and this personal blog showcases plus promotes my design inspiration projects with hopes of gaining attention of other DT members for other challenge blogs as I connect through link-ups. 

I made time before the reminder post launches to create a tag with 1 of 2 textiles required for Theme #14--burlap. The other option is denim. 

THANKFUL--thank you tag

isn't this a great Thanksgiving tag/bookmark or appreciation gift tag for a special friend?!!?!!!

Design notes and vendors:

1. 3 cording colors and twine were looped and left long enough that this could be added to a wreath, a gift bag, or used as a bookmark

2. the Thankful panel was cut with decorative scissors from an American Greetings card (5 cards for $2) at Dollar General, purchased just this afternoon, Oct 19!!! How's that for fate?!!!

3. the brown mustard print cardstock was purchased a few years back in an album kit from Illustrated Faith.

4. the enamel dots are from Craft Consortium

5. the 'thank you' stamp was applied to red and orange ink pads

6. black ink was used to edge both cardstocks

7.  a section of the white chevron print burlap ribbon was cut to make a little banner tag accent for the upper right corner

Voila'!!! 

Made in 30-40 minutes from start to finish! YEA!

With a heart glad that I got creative making 3 cards on a late Friday night yet mourning over the loss of a first cousin once removed who turned 46 the day before he died. He was the first/oldest in the next generation on my dad's side of the family. His mom, my cousin is 2nd oldest of our generation and I'm 4th. 

Give your loved ones---love and hugs!

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!

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!

FQCB Theme #10 Card Showcased

 Welcome to the Farm! This posting's focus is a pond scene with a goose get well card made for FarmQuest Challenge Blog. 

FQCB started in late March 2022 and the themes reflect rural country topics. The last 2 themes had topics of wagon, animal, barn, windmill, or weathervane. The current #10 theme has options of pond or ducks or geese. 

The ducks or geese can be 1 or more. And you can do a combination or even show all 3. 

This is a get well card that I made=

Credits:

1. the acorn print and gold star print cardstocks are reverse sides of each other (Lake Life paper pad)

2. the aqua/teal frame and the silly goose die-cut are from Carta Bella's Farm To Table frames and tags set

3. gray cardstock base, the green and blue scraps for the pond scene, cork 'ribbon', markers, ink, and green crystal gems are stash supplies

4. "Wishing you well" stamp is from Hampton Arts
