Focus on my FQGGCB #2 Even Aisles Theme Competition starts 28 June 2024

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

purpose: this posting continues my love for country living--farm to table movement, eating well, self-sustaining, foodies, etc. are topics that connect farmers and ranchers to all of us who consume products bought at our markets, restaurants, roadside stands, etc. 

when: #2 at FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges starts June 28 and ends early on July 13, 2024

what: from the even # aisles offered on the sidebar of the blog (closely aligns to Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games Show), I chose Aisle #2 cooking liquids for Project #1

Olive Oil (I'll love/olive you always/oil-ways) card

notes:

1. plaid cardstock base, text strip sticker, 2 round stickers = from The Simple Life by Simple Stories

2. olive and olive oil bottle clipart image = free for personal use = The Clipart Library website

3. the plant print cardstock is a recycled/upcycled tissue box side panel 

4. ivory/cream cardstock = Neenah

5. green dual-tip marker = Art Skills

what: Project #2 using aisle #8 (cereal) and #10 (milk/dairy)

notes:

11. SU papers = orange flowers, white with peach floral and stems, the lime green with white tulip print

12. Recycled = light gray with white geometric print cardstock circles were punched from tissue boxes

13. The Simple Life foam stickers by Simple Stories = two sentiment foam stickers

14. The Clipart Library website = free for personal use = clipart image was printed as black and white on white copy paper and then a variety of markers and colored pencils were used to color the table scene

15. Art Skills = black dual-tip marker to outline the clipart image

16. stash = brown marker to outline the background papers and punched cardstock circles

g. I Love Promarkers; current; any marker usage; both cards have markers used; on the Olive Oil card, I added green over the clipart gray on the face and neck of the bottle, to the olives, then pine green on the leaves of the olives in the clipart image, a brown line to create a surface for the items to be sitting on with a brown marker, and also a green dual-tip marker to add green to the corners of the ivory paper so there could be some contrast to the plaid base paper
