Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity: Loving my HQCB #73 anything goes with green and white hearts on 28 April 2025

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

why: this blog posting showcases my owner/DT commitment to HQCB or Heart's Quest Challenge Blog. This was my very first owned challenge blog! It doesn't have a huge following but the premise behind it is still something I strongly believe that crafting blog world needs. Heart shapes can easily be incorporated as photo mats, embellishments, in patterned papers or washi tape, etc. The marketplace is flooded with heart shape buttons, brads, gems and more. #73 is requiring green and/or white heart(s) along with your anything goes themed project.

when: #73 starts April 28 and ends May 27, 2025.

what:

how-to notes:

1. ivory cardstock panel = Neenah

2. green cardstock panel behind the 2 floral print papers = Pen + Gear

3. two floral print papers = old SU products

4. the leafy sticker and lacy scrollwork corner sticker = very old 2009!!!! Webster Pages 12" square sticker sheet; it's almost used up!!! four different size and colors/print stickers that are left
