Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: this posting shares my personal details about my first official challenge design team projects for HQLQCB or Heart's Quest Lovable Quotables Challenges Blog. The theme is easy = anything goes quotes or anything quotable. The first project is inside home scene with 'home's dictionary definition for a sentiment/text.
The second project is my 30th anniversary card for my hubby that has a quote by Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote about Sherlock & Holmes but also had these romantic words included on my card.
And there is a third project: a quick Bible verse index card album type bullet journaling as my 2nd verse to write out that has my "Word of the Year". I've picked "conquer" or "overcome"/overcometh to explore throughout this year. I've used my childhood first Bible, King James Version, to copy the words of the verse.
