FQCB Theme #11 Anything Farm Country Goes Challenge

 Howdy! Welcome to the farm--farm and rural country life topics are the creativity themes for FarmQuest Challenge Blog! 

Theme #11 for August 28-September 13, 2022

is a new theme type for us to try since FQCB started in late March 2022. I'm thinking to put this in the schedule once every 3 months. If you would like this to be offered every 2 weeks, comment on this posting or place a note in your FQCB listing in your blog post for me to read. 

I'm calling it Anything Farm Country Goes.

Your project(s) must reflect farm/rural country topics. Possible categories are: farming/ranching, farmers markets/produce stands, orchards, gardens, camping, hiking, dirt or gravel roads, pond/lake life, fishing, covered bridges, quaint country church scenes, hayrides, sleigh rides, hay baling or other planting or harvesting farm topics, clothing/fabric/patterns like denim, plaid, gingham, straw hats, jeans, overalls, etc.

FQCB owner Becca S has a denim with faux straw/mesh card project:

Peachy tan specialty paper 6" square base with a 5" x 7" kraft patterned cardstock background with a 4" x 6" denim patterned paper on top. Straw-looking mesh, a sentiment tag, some amber heart gems, 2 layered leaf die-cut stickers, and 1 sunflower textured sticker are the embellishments. Most of those have an autumn season connection. 

 also has 2 Garden Harvest topic card projects to share:

Card base is the light yellow topped with kraft brown. I love the striped ribbon that I purchased several years ago! The textured foil leaves add shine. The wood laser die-cut came painted orange, so I just handwrote "Grateful" onto it. 3 amber gold crystal gems are the last embellishments.

and

Card base is the aqua topped with the dark brown wood siding cardstock by Fancy Pants Designs' Lake Life paper pad. A pumpkin shaped doily becomes the large backdrop focal. 2 die-cut ephemera from Simple Stories (flower trio and scooter), along with a orange glitter wood laser die-cut pumpkin and a sentiment posy complete this country harvest card.

(for card #2: I only had a scooter die-cut to use but would have enjoyed showing a golf cart. My hubs and I are able to share my mom's and it's a nice way to ride out around her farm or for us to bring to our little 1400 people community!!! We've got 2 town friends that live about 2 blocks away that stop by on their wheelchair-type motorized scooters. Another 2 town friends living about 3 blocks north of us ride their bikes by quite a bit in the spring and fall.)
