Muted olive greens and white hearts accent Willa Jean's layout to fulfill the Color Heart #10 required duo. I haven't traveled out to Virginia to find all the thousands of 'love' art installations/sculptures, but I've been enjoying seeing scrappers like Willa Jean document them! Her layout sketch makes use of lots of scraps to add patterns and colors yet still letting the photo be the featured element. Terrific! --Becca

Lori's cards are always adorable and this one is ready for a festive Christmas! She's added some red to the deep dark pine green, mossy green, brown and white hues of her card. The trio of hearts makes perfect little accents next to the cozy outfitted squirrels and fulfill the Color Heart #10 duo requirement. Too precious! --Becca

I decided to go with a very feminine and religious Christmas card with lots of mint green hearts and 1 white satin sheen heart (plus a plaid heart). Look closely at the plastic overlay that is printed with lots of mint green hearts that is backed with lime green cardstock and a 2nd backing of pink cardstock. I added a felt heart in mint green and a plastic cling mint green heart over the 1 white satin sheen heart. Just had to use this panel from the overlay sheet that I've had for about 4 years!!!--Becca

HQCB Love Theme #9 Top Pick for November 14-27, 2022

 Congratulations to the Top Pick of Heart's Quest

Love Theme #9 Challenge that featured 'love' and candy! 

HQCB's Love Theme #9 ended at 12:30am CT/Chicago or 6:30am UK on Sunday November 27, 2022.

 

The Top Pick is=

Granmargaret/Margaret A.

Her project shows how to combine the 2 requirements with Christmas holiday elements! Her expression "With Love at Christmas" completes the 'love' requirement half of the theme and all the candy canes complete the 2nd half of requirements.

It didn't have to be Christmas but that's what many of us crafters are currently focused on getting made as November 2022 is coming to a close!

DESIGN INSPIRATION

Willa's used a candy cane to accent her adorable animal stuffed stockings print paper!!! Too sweet! And her sentiment is perfect to incorporate the word 'love'. Great!

and

from DT member Lori S=

http://loriannie670.blogspot.com/2022/11/hearts-quest-challenge-blog-love-theme.html

Doesn't the blue make Lori's card unexpected and contemporary?!!!! Too cute! I love the wording for her sentiment that includes half of the theme requirement (love). The other half of the theme are all those candy canes. What a cheery Christmas card!

and

from owner Becca S=

Theme requirements are found in 2 peppermint candies and a gold text label 'love you'.
