Welcome to Becca's Love and Country Creativity blog!
why: This posting showcases my new design team/owner projects for #12/December at HQFSCAT or Heart's Quest for Shaped Cards and Tags, a challenges blog for crafting bloggers. Anything Goes on a shaped card and/or shaped tag is the theme every month! For December, instead of holiday for the round card, I'm using some old stickers and old cardstock that's been in my stash for years! For a shaped tag project, I brought out a hearts within hearts wood laser cut and inked it with wintry colors and added some stamped + inked + glitter glued stars!!!
when: #12 starts December 2 and ends on December 31, 2025
