FQCB Theme #5 Herbs or Foliage AND Clay Pot or Vase starts 28 May 2022

     Welcome to FarmQuest! Howdy! If you're on a quest to see country rural living themed projects, your search ends here! 

This new competition starts May 28, 2022 and ends June 13, 2022. Start and end times are the same for both days= 12:30 am Central time USA/Chicago or 6:30 am UK; adjust accordingly wherever you are in the world. 

Theme #5 has a bit of flex with the combinations that you can come up with. This will be a fun competition to see the entries! The first options are herbs or foliage (leafy branches/stems) AND the second half options are clay pot or vase. You have to have 1 element from each half/side.

FarmQuest Challenge Blog had its first competition launched on March 28, 2022. The name FarmQuest was coined by my dad. He owned and did the majority of the work publishing an agricultural topic newspaper in Missouri during the late 1980s to early 1990s called FarmQuest. My sister and I wrote some of the lifestyle type articles. She focused on parenting and teaching themes and I did the home economics topics. I also spent about two years helping him on a limited part-time basis with word processing and some of the layout work. Dad did the sales and delivering copies to many farm equipment dealers around the state. After 3 or 4 months of issues, he started offering subscriptions so this became another task that I helped with. 

I like the word quest when it comes to paper-crafting because it's been my practice to have a search hunting for treasures in my stash!!

Inspiration card = Thinking of You--the simple things--herb and flower garden theme card:

Some design and vendor notes for #1 are: the white card base, the black gingham with amber strip, lily of valley cluster, the herbs, sage green tag, and the text strip are from Simple Stories card kit "Love Grows Here"; the yellow-green chevron stripe paper is from The Paper Studio; the analogous colored large dots patterned paper scrap (might be DCWV ?? or is it DCVW); silver mirror foil decorative tape was used to create the outer perimeter border; stamp for 'thinking of you' has been in stash a very long time. Kraft paper in background is just to block out scanner light. This time I have the clay pots AND the herbs (plant stakes and behind them).
