Best Wishes and Sweet Dreams with TFATU August 20 Midway Reminder DT card

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!!! I didn't have to do much stash questing for this card due to a sweet junk journaling group crafter who sent me a mid-size manila envelope with a lots of scrap goodies! There was a folded fairy coloring book page in what she sent!! I couldn't believe it!! So, I opted to limit the size to a 4.5" x 5"approx. for the focal. 

WHAT: The Fairy and The Unicorn challenge blog's Midway Reminder

WHEN: competition started August 5th and ends on the 31st. 

SHOW and TELL:
