Design Inspiration=

from DT member Dottie S (welcome back!):

https://somethingcraftybydottie.blogspot.com/

Dottie was able to include 2 of the 3 options: fish and rod/pole for equipment. She's made a fantastic fish themed card perfect for personalizing, and the occasion can be shown inside whether it's a masculine birthday, thinking of you, etc. Awesome!

\\//\/\/\**++\\///\\\\

From FQCB owner Becca S=

*Carta Bella for die-cut ephemera

*Lake Life paper pad by Fancy Pants Designs (2 cardstock prints are reverse sides of each other in the paper pad)

*several colors of cording stapled together for a faux fishing lure accent

I've incorporated all three: fish, boat, and rod & lures.

FQCB Reminder Theme #14 denim and/or burlap ends 27 October 2022

 This is a different reminder posting for FarmQuest.

Please use this blog link to go to my personal blog for FQCB and HQCB inspiration project (TN layout for a Scripture Writing Journal) to see how I combined their themes with a few others from blogland=

https://heartquestforloveandcountrycreativity.blogspot.com/2022/10/combining-current-hqcb-and-fqcb-themes.html

Enjoy!

And I managed to get a sweet appreciation tag made in about 30-40 minutes about an hour before this posting is to publish!!! Here's "Thankful"--

For this tag (or it could be used as a bookmark) I chose to use a small portion of burlap printed ribbon as an accent for the upper right corner. It adds texture and along with the cording, twine, and harvest colors, the outdoors country look definitely shows.

\\//\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\\/\\\\\/////\/\/\/\\/////\\\\
