Loving my CCC #103 agfc theme choice Giraffe DT project on 1 October 2025

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

why: This posting highlights my newest owner/DT inspiration project for Critter Crazy Challenges blog. I'm loving the mixed animal pop-up stickers that I bought at a local Dollar Tree store! YEP! This time I chose this cartoonish giraffe and placed him next to the maple (leaf) tree for fun. Fall season colors and plaids to add to the autumn flavor of this card. 

when: #103 begins October 1, 2025 and ends on October 25, 2025.

what: Project #1 = Autumn Arrival



how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. yellow cardstock base cut to 5" x 7" = Neenah; the focal panel is more than 3" square...more like 3" wide x 4.25" tall

2. reddish orange, pale green, brown plaid paper strip = Camping Plaid paper from Recollections

3. the other muted yellow plaid paper = SU

4. yellow and white check paper = ?/I think it's from an old paper pad by FPD; this paper with a reversible print was removed from the pad and has been in my recent stash pile this summer and now into September

5. puffy dot stickers = Recollections

6. alpha stickers = Freckled Fawn (old set; vowels are almost gone!)

7. maple leaf with gold foil veining sticker = ?/very old stash item; might be Heidi Swapp -------->> I chose this because with the scale of the giraffe compared to this sticker, it could look like a tree.

8. giraffe pop-up dimensional sticker = from a mixed animal package = Crafter's Square (Dollar Tree store)

  2. This is such a fun card, Becca! I do love that giraffe and kudos to you for getting him at the dollar tree. I love that! I picked up some little butterfly stickers that were really cute there the other day. Such a great place to get some bargains. I love how the giraffe matches the background paper too, so fun! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday too. We really appreciate your participation!
