HQCOLCB Sneak Peek about EWA themes coming in 2024

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

Purpose: these wedding or anniversary cards shown are sneak peeks for what to expect for the "EWA" themes each month at the new HQCOLCB!!!!

When: Sneak Peek is being published on Thursday, November 23, 2023; an Introduction One Month Before post will be published on December 2, and the first competition will be released on January 2, 2024!!!

What: "EWA" is Engagements, Weddings, and Anniversaries; there will be an optional occasion theme of 'new pet' that you can also do for a celebration of love entry.

I've got 2 cards made with almost the same materials that could be used for weddings or anniversaries=

and

[both of these sentiment stamp fine print says "On Your Special Day"]

Notes:

1. Stampin' Up =for floral print 

2. Neenah =ivory cardstock

3. graphic heart stamp = Raisin Boat (purchased 3 years ago; maybe longer)

4. the sentiment stamp = Hampton Arts? (purchased maybe prior to 2015; red rubber with wood 

5. frame stamp = ? maybe Studio G (purchased possibly prior to 2018)

6. black ink pad = Hero Arts

7. Arteza Everblend Art Markers = colors to enhance the graphic heart stamp

E. Retro Rubber; still current; Tic=Tac-Toe board; I'm using the upper left to diagonal lower right (frame, patterned paper, and free space)= my frame is stamped, I have 2 patterned papers (reverse sides to each other), and the stamping serves as my freebie [see my notes section up above to see the age of my stamps--they've been in my stamps stash box for a very long time; I haven't used any of these for a long while!!!!]
