Best Wishes from HQFCB (was TFATU) with #5 in 2024 May DT Unicorn Project

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting showcases my owner/DT commitment to Heart's Quest Fantasy  challenge blog that I took control of about 15 months ago. It was known as The Fairy and The Unicorn. It accepts more than fairies and unicorns, so I felt a broad title terminology was needed plus getting it within the 'heart's quest' family of blogs. 

when: first Saturday of the month, May 4, 2024 is the launch date for #5 in 2024 for HQFCB (TFATU)

what: Project #1= Unicorn(s) are the May 2024 fantasy focus option

notes: somewhere in a far off land, there might be swans, rabbits, birds, and unicorns all enjoying their local exotic flora

and

PROJECT #2: my anything goes fantasy choice is = dragon

notes: design choices -- metal plating was selected to repeat the supposed metal helmet and sword of the knight's in the image; the hilly scene was picked to be the location where these 2 faithful companions do their roaming; star print paper and wood stars were my ideas to go with the metal and also vaguely suggest a 'badge' that this little knight would want to pin to his uniform

8. Knight and Dragon digital image from "Little Dudes" series by Polkadoodles

9. digital image printed on light green cardstock = Neenah

10. wood stars (2 sizes); from assortment of plain ones = Crafter's Closet

==============================

other places to share/link are:

A. Simply Create Too challenge blog; open until Jan 31; theme is warm and cozy; MY card is about being able to enjoy outdoor furniture, so it has to be warm enough to be outside and the cozy part comes from the cushions, canopy protection from the sun, and a radio to curl up on that glider, or stretch out and take a nap....

B. Cut It Up; current/started Jan 26; theme using at least 1 die-cut is 'this makes me happy'; MY card is about relaxing outdoors when it's warm; this makes me happy; my husband and I have a very small home under 1,000 square feet but are fortunate to have 2 different size decks/porch at each exterior door with enough space to have an outdoor table and 4 chairs to enjoy nice Midwest USA weather; on this afternoons and evenings these 2 locations are where we prefer to eat our meals; and I wish we had a glider!
