FarmQuest Challenge #78 design team Christmas Tree Farm theme projects

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

why: This post showcases two new design team/owner inspiration projects for #78 Christmas Tree Farm theme at FarmQuest Challenge Blog. For the card, I used some old stash from Bella Blvd chipboard stickers for the main scene elements. On the tag, I went with a recent purchase from Dollar Tree because the ornament tag on this package topper project had caught my eye for this theme. My brain cells were thinking I could use for this #78 theme!!

when: #78 FQCB starts 28 November until 27 December 2025
