Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: The purpose of this posting is sharing my newest owner/DT food theme projects for FQGGCB or FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges Blog. #26 starts January 27, 2026 and ends on February 26, 2026. The theme is always 'anything food goes' which includes beverages of any kind...milk, juice, wine, soda, coffee, etc. Includes pineapple and taco! I'm also trying to use lots of old scrap papers and CS, forgotten/neglected tools, and also embellishments this winter.
when: #26 time period is Jan 27-Feb 26, 2026.
what: Project #1: Sweetness of Pineapple!
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
1. bright yellow CS panel cut = approx 3.5" wide x 5" high = Crafter's Square (pack of 4 colors 12" square CS sheets)
2. green dual tip marker = Art Skills
3. lettering and side borders = very old 45 +/- Tupperware lowercase plastic stencil template; the exclamation mark is actually letter i upside down!!!
4. & 5. the green checked print CS= recycled tissue box packaging; punched with a 'ticket' shape = EK Success tool for the punch
6. three pineapple shaker pocket stickers = Jen Hadfield's "Chase Adventures" collection by American Crafts (these are so CUTE and when placed as a trio; they're making more impact, I think!)

1A. Make My Monday; new on Jan 26; theme of CAS; My pineapples card = layers are limited to the tight triad focal; no other embellishments; empty space at the top and also across most of the bottom

1B. Addicted to CAS; new on Jan 24; theme/code word of 'food'; both my projects have food but the pineapple card has the Clean and Simple look; 3 small pineapples arranged close together for the focal and stenciled sentiment keeps the layout minimal; no extra embellishments; there are empty spaces at the top and then again across the bottom
