Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: This posting's purpose is to spotlight new design team/owner inspiration projects for FarmQuest Challenge Blog. FQCB's #79 theme is Snowy Mountains. On cards #1 & #2, I've used some new to me products from Snow Pine Lodge collection 2024 by Simple Stories. Images show the ski runs on the mountains as well as a tiny ephemera with jagged mountain tops. And then I've varied their looks with other ephemera and/or stickers and/or other patterned papers.
when: FQCB #79 starts December 28, 2025 and will end on January 27, 2026.
what: Project #1: Welcome to Snowy Mountains Ski Runs card
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
1. from Snow Pines Lodge collection 2024 by Simple Stories = plaid paper, welcome, ski run mountains, MC & HNY, red and pink plaid CS and 2 snowy tree stickers
2. white chalk writer = Crafter's Square (added to the green tone tops of the mountain peaks on the center focal and also the welcome ephemera; also across the top and sides of the pink CS strip)
