Loving my HQCOLCB #6 June 2nd DT projects

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

why: This posting's purpose is to feature the #6 or June 2nd design team projects that I created for HQCOLCB. That's Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love Challenges Blog. The main themes are coded as BEWAS which are birthdays, engagements, weddings, anniversaries and sympathies. These are occasions that we celebrate for those we love! YES??? YES!! The optional theme is masculine. (In the USA, Father's Day is celebrated however some folks like me, their dad has passed. So we will just classify it as masculine. It can be a boy's birthday card, a get well card for a uncle, a graduation card for a grandson or nephew, etc.)
