Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!
why: This posting is showcasing some creative love with a new shaped card and shaped tag for HQFSCAT #7! HQFSCAT is code for Heart's Quest For Shaped Cards and Tags challenge blog. The theme is always anything goes on shaped cards and/or shaped tags. The only shape not allowed is a standard 4-corner/90 degrees rectangle. I've taken time to create a candle-topped cupcake shaped birthday card plus embellishing a dog-ear tag, adding ribbons, etc.
