Best Wishes and Sweet Dreams with this TFATU reminder bonus inspiration card for 20 September 2023

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! I decided to do something non-seasonal for the anything goes fantasy theme challenge at TFATU. I chose to use a Cupid laser cut wood stick-on that I enhanced with neon-yellow and gold glitter paint pens. My first thoughts were to use pink, red or purple but since the floral photo collage had so many yellows and yellow-oranges, I went with a vivid yellow.

EDITED late on September 26: about 5.5 hours ago I posted a creative dare to see who would make a quick craft with the Heart's Quest theme and get it blogged or IG'ed before the deadline. OH, yes I did!!!

I did a 15 minute scrappy collage style bookmark with items located on my craft table. Here's what I came up with:

Right after I posted this to the HQ and FQ challenge blog fans group in FB, on my profile, and to 1 craft group, I needed to return to my mom's with this in my purse. She was surprised that I had it assembled in 15 minutes. 

*scrap cut of orange cardstock base

*some cocoa brown inked edges

*sticker butterfly and 2 short sections of washi tapes

*3 items to fussy cut from a collage print cardstock sheet

*little heart shape sketched in blue and yellow ink pens
