FQCB Theme #25 REMINDER post for Toads or Frogs or Mushrooms ending on 13 April 2023

 Howdy! Welcome to the farm, FarmQuest's Theme #25 Reminder Post!

FQCB #25 Theme is Toads and/or Frogs and/or Mushrooms/Toadstools. 

You must use at least 1 of any of these to qualify.

Competition started March 28 and ends April 13, 2023 at 12:30am CST/Chicago time.

--------------------------

More design inspiration from FQCB owner Becca:

My card for the reminder post was to use another designer cardstock print and it's reverse side from Craft Consortium's Into The Forest cardstock pad.

I'm so glad I bought this set about 6+/- months ago. Most of the time I've been hoarding it, however this Theme #25 has 'allowed' me to use it twice!

Inside sentiment: Happy Birthday

-------------------------

Don't forget that all entries here at FQCB can also be shared at FarmQuest General Store's always anything farm/country goes theme. FQGS #3 competition starts on April 7 and will be open until May 5th. (#2 just ended on April 5th. Be looking for a Top Shelf picks announcement sometime late on April 5th.

-------------------------------------

There's a DT Call announcement in the main launch posting for #25. FQCB needs someone possibly short-term for about 3 months. This could expand into long-term if wanted. I'd also like another individual to start as soon as possible for long-term. It would be great to have a crafter who likes to do non-card formats, since we accept other formats than just cards. 

See the main launch post or the blog sidebar to find how to contact me/Becca, the owner of FQCB.

FQCB Theme #25 is Toads and/or Frogs and/or Mushrooms (Toadstools) starting 28 March 2023 AND DT Call

 Howdy! Yee-haw! Welcome to the farm!--

FarmQuest Challenge Blog

Theme #25 requires Toads/Frogs and/or Mushrooms (Toadstools)

In the USA, mushrooms and toadstools get used interchangeably. Not sure about other parts of the world. You can have edible ones or poisonous ones (for human consumption)...don't think that matters for paper-crafting however!?!! Ha!

Competition starts at 12:30am CST or 6:30am UK on March 28, 2023 and ends at the same times on April 13, 2023.

Each participant can enter up to 3 new themed entries per challenge. Read the blog's side bar for the acceptable formats which gives readers lots of creative possibilities to share with us!

[theme #25 requirement(s): frogs]

What a super cute springtime pond life card! Perfect sentiment! Un-frog-ettable card, Dottie!!

DT member Diane:

[FQCB #25 element= mushrooms/toadstools]

Awesome image for this challenge, Diane!! The coloring is spectacular! Lots of details and shading! You've created terrific rural springtime woods/marsh finds on your card! 

DT member NanaConnie:

[theme #25 requirements: frog AND toad]

NanaConnie's card is such a delight! She says the image is a coloring page! She used Promarkers to color-fill the image! Her bowmaker helped make Toad very dapper! Two colors of burlap help to complete the charming encouragement card!

DT/owner Becca:

[theme #25 elements: mushrooms in both patterned cardstocks; the word 'fungi' for the pun sentiment]

My brain started going into high gear to come up with a clever sentiment and then EUREKA!!! I remembered that I could use "fungi" for 'fun guy'!!! Inside it is simply stamped with "Happy Birthday".
