Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!
why: This posting showcases my newest owner/DT contribution for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog. #70 is anything goes with white-pink- and/or purple hearts. I decided to do all 3 colors; mostly purple, but pink and bits of white on white cardstock.
when: HQCB #70 starts January 28 and ends on February 27, 2025; at the start of #69 on December 28, I made a move to change HQCB from 2 offset challenges per 30 days to 1 offset month-long challenge.
