My featured FQCCCB #26 agcc theme DT card on 7 November 2025

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

why: This posting focuses on the newest owner/DT contribution project for FQCCCB or FarmQuest Country Christmas challenges blog! AGCC theme code means anything goes country Christmas referring to rural outdoors wintry weather and/or nature and/or activities and/or exterior holiday decorations. Just think of outside a house or church...ice skating on a pond, building a snow fort, a chickadee resting on a snowy branch of a pine tree, etc. 

when: #26 starts November 7, 2025 and ends on December 5, 2025. 

what: Project #1 = It's a Holly-ful Happy Christmas card!

how-to & vendor notes:

1. Bo Bunny = patterned dark greens & holly paper; also die-cut ephemera of the focal/label and the large sprig of holly and berries

2. Pen + Gear = solid green cardstock cut to be 1-2" larger than the focal sentiment label ephemera piece (that took awhile to measure but worth the shaped/unique card base

3. The Paper Studio = red and white buffalo check cardstock strip

4. Freckled Fawn = two colors of enamel dots from 2 different packs; they cover up dark green stars on the focal piece

5. Recollections = gold glitter foam star stickers

6. Crafter's Square = red pearl gems (part of a pack)

7. Hero Arts = black stamp pad for ink edging for all cardstocks/papers
