Loving this HQCB #29 Theme of Mother Goose Day with heart/love and also collaboration with Double Trouble

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

Today's showcase is for some heart/love for Mother Goose Day, May 1st!

What: Heart's Quest challenge blog is collaborating with Double Trouble challenge blog using inspiration from Mother Goose or element from a nursery rhyme plus HQCB's signature heart/love inclusion. 

Theme: #29 of HQCB

My project: I chose "My Black Hen" nursery rhyme. 

There are 3 rhyming sets: (1) hickety, pickety; (2) hen, men; and (3) day, lay.

Nursery rhyme element(s): black hen image on the die-cut label (actually was red until it encountered my black marking pen!); and the 1st/main verse of the "My Black Hen"

Heart/love element(s): 1 large navy blue heart shape behind the rhyme and die-cut

SHOW:

Some notes:

1. red, white, and blue cardstocks = stash items; different vendors; also blue gems and blue ink pad

2. "hello" in black foil dazzle/sticker = Hot Off The Press through Paper Wishes website

3. hen label die-cut; Echo Park

4. "Easter" egg stickers were gifted to me as extras from a junk journaling swap partner; I used a permanent black marker to transform them to go along as an embellishment for the eggs laid by the black hen in the rhyme

5. rhyme was found at nurseryrhymesmg.com [Suzanne of Double Trouble came across a list of 111 laptime songs and rhymes that is a combination of Mother Goose and other childhood fingerplays and action songs and the link is included at HQCB and Double Trouble.]
