My Featured FQGGCB #18 design team projects on 28 May 2025

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

why: This posting is a blend of country and love from the farmhouse, the country cottage, the ranch-house, the cabin, the backyard, etc. This card's image panel with cotton candy makes me think of fairgrounds and the s'mores makes me think of backyards and campground settings!

Making a Delivery at FarmQuest General Store for Challenge #2

 Hello! On this blog dedicated to love and country creativity, this posting is for country creativity!

I've made a deliver at FarmQuest General Store challenge blog for its 2nd challenge month!

Theme is always AFCG= anything farm country goes.

Competition is March 7-April 5, 2023 with start and end times set at 1am CST/Chicago or 7am UK for some references.

Bragging rights called "Top Shelf Picks" or "Tip-Top Shelf Picks" are possible. Each participant/customer/vendor can make 3 deliveries/submissions. 

The FQGS blog's sidebar has some suggested rural country topics for you to ponder. You can also visit the 'parent' blog, FarmQuest Challenge Blog that started almost a year ago and see what theme topics have been done there twice per month.

My Design Team inspiration project:

Campfire Daydreaming

[AFCG theme elements: campfire, log, sticks, buffalo plaid print cardstock]

Some vendor notes:

a. Campfire digital image was won = from LeAnn's World 101

b. stencil shape used for the shape of the image printed on kraft cardstock = Pebbles

c. cork text accent = 2014/Prima Marketing (new to me however; just received on Saturday morning's mail)

d. a variety of colored pencils and markers to color-fill the image; accents for a night sky were added by me as well as ground/horizon line in order to create an outdoor scene

e. navy blue and white buffalo plaid cardstock = The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby

f. wood paneling print cardstock strips = a recycled tissues box (yes!!!)

g. the green mottled thin cardstock strips/scraps = stash; maybe DCVW or Colorbok
