My Critter Crazy Challenges #108 design team LION card on 1 March 2026

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

why: This posting showcases my newest design team/owner inspiration project for Critter Crazy Challenges, a crafting blog, that I assumed owner and administrator status about 13-14 months ago. This January completed my first year and we're just roaring along into my second! 

One just never knows how and where and what I see sparks my creative muse! For about a year I've not touched a set of children's animal masks except to give a tiger one to the little girl we were babysitting on weekday afternoons. I thought I would the use the masks for Critter Crazy before this, but apparently other animal images/products have also sparked my imagination. My March critter is a lion. 

The theme is always 'anything goes with a featured critter' or AGFC. 

when: Critter Crazy #108 starts March 1 and runs through until March 25, 2026. 

what: Project #1:

how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. yellow cardstock (CS) is not quite a full sheet; about 6.5" deep x 8" wide = Astrobrights/Neenah

2. lion mask = from a mixed animal children's mask set = sold by Dollar General Stores (I added the black marker accents on the ears plus the paper and ink triangles for eyes + whisker ink lines + stars.)

3. brown scrap CS = tucked into the eye openings = Colorbok

4. gold glitter stars = part of a mixed gold star design set of stickers = Recollections/Michaels Arts and Crafts

5. tall gold metallic 'HI' puffy lettering stickers = Thickers by American Crafts

8. black extra fine tip marker pen = Sharpie (for the whiskers)

9. black stamp pad = Hero Arts (to ink the yellow CS perimeter)

My Heart's Quest for Shaped Cards and Tags #3 (or #15) DT projects on 2 March 2026

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

why: This is my personal post for 1 new shaped creation for Heart's Quest For Shaped Cards and Tags #3 for 2026 (or #15 since we started). HQFSCAT is anything goes on shaped cards and/or shaped tags with the only shape not allowed being a standard rectangle. Variations on rectangles are accepted such as rounded corners, a wider diagonal cut that changes the degrees to something less than 90*; scallop-topped; dog-ear topped; border punch used across the bottom 2 corners; etc. 

I only had time to create 1 project this time for HQFSCAT! Thankfully a couple of other team members did 2 projects this time plus we had Guest DTs to help us have lots of inspirational samples. My personal life and husband's have been crazy. I had a head cold last week for 5-6 days but then discovered some weird swelling in my lower right leg on Saturday afternoon. So hubby took me to a small hospital ER only 25 miles from us. Unfortunately, a radiology tech wasn't on call but would be on Sunday, so I had to go back to find out that I have a Baker's cyst on the back of my knee. Luckily it's not a clot but an aggravation until my body absorbs the leaking lubricating fluid from my knee into other parts of my leg/body. Another lucky thing was that the same ER doc was still working Sun morning so that was reassuring that he was familiar with my case. But that took away from my weekend time to craft and be on the computer. Hubby failed his treadmill stress test last Tuesday and has to undergo a heart catherization/angiogram procedure in the morn/Wed/March 4. He is to expect stenting but we don't know what to expect until the cardiology interventionist gets going. He's first on the schedule. This is a different hospital but is the largest in the region and part of the same hospital system. This interventionist took care of Joe 6.5 years ago so he's familiar with Joe's extensive cardiac history. He's a walking miracle!! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers please. Lots of risks for Joe but his regular cardiologist says he needs to do it to get blood flow back into a section of his heart. 

when: #3 for 2026 (or #15 since HQFSCAT started) goes from March 2 to March 31, 2026.
