Loving HQCB #34 DT card Congratulation Occasion with hearts for 14 July 2023

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! For this encouragement card I did a stash quest for a stencil word to use for a neutral based congratulations that scale/size would fit the 4" x 6.75". And then used others stencils to create a little scene to combine the required hearts (or love) aspect of HQCB themes. 

WHAT: Heart's Quest challenge blog #34; theme is congratulations plus use heart/love (at least 1)

WHEN: July 14-27, 2023

SHOW and TELL:

1. at least 5 different stencils from my stash were used

2. old cardstock and paper (dot) scraps were from stash

3. traced stencils were outlined with markers and then filled with colored pencils

4. inked edges for papers; some squiggly marker lines to frame the stenciled scene

**Note: By mid-August, my DT commitments will go from 12 down to 8. I was recruited by an elementary district's assistant superintendent to fill in this year for 7th grade math. Then next year, hopefully I can switch to an exploratory/elective class for the middle schoolers. There are 4 challenge blogs that I own (HQCB, FQCB, FQGS, TFATU), 2 that I co-own (AACB and CBCB) and 2 that I manage (MTTC and MTTCC).
