Surprise! We've got a Guest Designer for this reminder post! The very talented Deanne Clarke-Saunders has created a terrific theme project for FQCB. Here's her profile to learn a bit about her and where to find her crafting endeavors:

My name is Deanne Saunders. My hubby and I live in Paradise,
Newfoundland Canada. I was an elementary teacher for 23 years but retired early. I am now an Early Childhood Educator (couldn’t stay away from the kiddies!!). I have always enjoyed playing with paper, scissors, glue, and ESPECIALLY crayons and pencil crayons, ever since I’ve been a small child. I just couldn’t stop playing, so I continued by scrapbooking and card-making! I love it!!! My hubby calls me a paper hoarder. He just MAY be right, but I’d never tell him that!!! A man doesn’t need to know he’s right!!! Haha!

Cheerio isn't it?!!!?? Deanne's card is so sweet!!! (yes, I have to pun, too.) Clever sentiment because it certainly is a cheery card filled with cherries!!! Brilliant!!

A new inspiration project for this theme from FQCB owner, Becca, is "Preserve the moment" card:

Both of my parents grew up on farms and so did most of my grands and ancestors. As a child in the 1960s it seemed like fabric for kitchen curtains was always some color of checked gingham like the red and yellow version cardstocks on the card. Even picnic blankets or tablecloths always seemed to be red and white gingham! So even though the 1st theme used gingham or plaid, I wanted to bring some back for this card. The red gingham also helps to be a repeat color for the cherries seen on the small journaling card and the 2 red enamel dots that are acting as faux cherries. Gingham papers are from Hot Off The Press available from Paper Wishes website. The journaling card and small portion of a border sticker are from the Spring Market collection by Webster Pages. The basket and bird are wood shapes from the Bluebells and Buttercups collection by Craft Consortium and purchased through Paper Wishes website. And the enamel dots are also part of the Bluebells and Buttercups collection. A dark reddish brown cardstock serves as the base.
