Featuring my FQCB #60 yard cutting equipment theme DT card for 14 Sept 2024

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

purpose: this blog post focuses on my newest contribution for FarmQuest Challenge Blog or FQCB. We've reached our 60th competition. Roughly 2 per offset month of 30-31 days so 30 months that we've been part of blogland!!! 2 1/2 years!!!

when: FQCB #60 is open for submissions from September 14-27, 2024

what: So thankful to Markey for helping us with yardwork (appreciation to a guy living about 2 blocks away)



notes:

a. sage green cardstock cut to 6" square = Neenah

b. green with white dot print = SU

c. bright yellow cardstock = Pen + Gear

d. light blue cardstock scrap = Neenah

e. 'so thankful' stamp = old Hampton Arts

f. clip art image is free for personal use at The ClipArt Library website

g. clip art image was printed on the bright yellow cardstock and green glitter paint pen applied to the grass, a section of the mower, socks, shirt collar, and cap (Crafter's Square)

h. the wood heart disc = also Crafter's Square; also had green glitter paint pen applied

i. thin string (old stash item) was colored with several shades of green markers then coiled and adhered under the sentiment and wood heart

j. green paper = Pen + Gear; cut into uneven top edge strip and then cut to look like grass blades; also some brown ink and more green glitter paint added to further 'ground' the lawnmower

**Note: FQCB's sister blog Heart's Quest #62 has a compatible theme badge and my FQCB card would also work over there because I'm using the lawnmower image, grass, grass green colors, and the green heart shape. **

other places to share/link are: 

A. Alphabet Challenge; current--wk 2 of 2; theme is L for landscape; MY appreciation card features a guy mowing his 'landscape'...yard

B. CAS on Friday; started Sept 13th; theme is CAS thank you; MY appreciation card says "so thankful"; the digi image takes up a small about, maybe 1/4th and the cloud sentiment is not quite another 1/4 so that leaves about 50% with just patterned paper without embellishments

C. Craft Rocket; current; theme is dots and/or stripes; MY appreciation card has a green with white dot patterned paper

D. Cardz 4 Galz; current; theme is Hip to be square (square based cards or square shapes on other bases); MY appreciation card base is 6" square and the dotted paper is about 5.5" square
