Making a Delivery for FQGS main post AFCG theme starting 7 December 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! This is 1 of 2 personal paper-crafting blogs that I have to share inspiration projects made for most of the challenge blogs that I own and 1 that I co-own. I've been dabbling in arts and crafts since elementary school!!! For me I love the whole creative process of searching my stash supplies and then sorting until a vision develops for a theme or a combination bundled together. 

This card has an uncycled image from solicited mail received by my mom. She asked if I could use it! Sure, I'll use it!
