HQCB Love Theme #3 to show love for a male friend or relative starts 14 May 2022

Heart's Quest Challenge Blog is in search of projects that indicate love for a special guy in your life.

With a grateful heart let's learn more about this new quest.

 HQCB's Love Theme #3 has 2 requirements:

(1) use the word love (another language equivalent or a verb tense like loves, loved, or loving are acceptable)

 AND

(2) a male figure/image (any age of boy/man; can be doing something; can be photo, digital image, stamp, etc.)

Love Theme #3 starts May 14, 2022 and ends on May 27th with times of 12:30am CST/Chicago or 6:30am UK for both dates. If you live in other time zones, please adjust accordingly. I've given you these two to help you figure that out. 

This competition period, the very talented Jeannette Cloyd has agreed to be a Guest Designer. Here is a bit of info about her life and creative endeavors:

Hello. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be a guest designer for Becca’s Heart’s Quest Love Theme #3 challenge. First, I’m excited because it allows me to support my friend with her challenge blog. Second, I’m excited about the theme – love and men. What a great way to get me out of my creative box since I rarely make masculine cards. Third (I had to have three; it’s my favorite number), it’s always exciting to take a piece of paper, a stamp or two, and some ink… and see what happens. Most evenings after my son has gone to bed and my husband is lounging in his recliner with a good book, you’ll find me in my Play Room doing just that – playing with paper, stamps, and ink. You’ll find my cards on my blog – cre8tiveplay.com – as well as on Facebook (Jeanette Cloyd) and on Instagram (jeanettecloyd).

Isn't this fantastic for LOVE THEME #3?!!?!!! Such a charming card!!

This is my inspiration project #1 that will be going to my cousin's son who is battling cancer. His cancer diagnosis and birth of his first son/child came about the same time 15 months ago. I want to send this to him to encourage him to grow older with his son and have those times with his little boy on his lap.
