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

purpose: this posting focuses on my challenge blog started back in January--FarmQuest HomeStyle Kitchen challenge blog that has a monthly anything food goes theme. That theme extends to anything related to preparing food, serving food, cleaning up, etc. So think kitchen, pantry, and produce market/grocery store.

what: Project #1= Colander on the kitchen table

notes:

A. all the die-cuts are from Simple Stories (2 different card kits)

B. the 2 tones of gray cardstock = Neenah

C. the kraft brown/cardboard look is recycled/upcycled packaging from fun size candy bar insert!!!! It had foldable sides that I removed and then used scissor blades to shave off the cuts to distress the edges

D. the choice of die-cuts was for it to look like a table or countertop and wall background; ----> gather + together =

E. song inspiration of an old church hymn called "We Gather Together"

F. black ink edging on gray cardstocks = Hero Arts ink pad
