Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!
why: In this posting, I'm sharing my owner/design team inspiration projects for #28 at FarmQuest General Store challenge blog. #28 is always anything farm and/or country goes theme. For my projects, I picked a mercantile kind of collage cookbook page marker for my first project and tulips growing by a brick wall card for my second project.
when: #28 starts May 7, 2025 and ends on June 5, 2025 for an offset month-long challenge period.

2. Camping Plaid print paper = Recollections
3. layered looking ephemera = Strawberry Fields collection = Simple Stories
4. trimmed 'sugar' + recipe label ephemera = Farmers Market by Echo Park
5. puffy hearts (1 pink, 1 white) and lime green dot = different sets/packs by Freckled Fawn
