HQCB #29 Theme is Mother Goose Day with heart/love and in collaboration with Double Trouble

 Announcing: Heart's Quest #29 Theme of Mother Goose Day is a collaboration with Double Trouble!

Mother Goose Day is May 1. So to honor this occasion, we'd like to see a nursery rhyme element on your card (for Double Trouble) and Heart's Quest signature added heart or love.

Suzanne of Double Trouble found this terrific resource list of nursery rhymes in case you want to refresh your knowledge on all things Mother Goose:

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

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

Our design team has crafted works of heart for Theme #28:

(on the blog's sidebar, there are DT member blog links for Becca and Diane and an Instagram link for Willa Jean, so make sure to visit and give them some commenting love!)

DT member Willa Jean

[Theme #28 required elements: for graduation= "way to go", "the journey begins", stars, photos of graduate; for heart/love= a total of 4 red heart shapes]

Willa Jean's layout said this project was one of her fastest to put together! The washi tape borders are a great choice because they repeat the colors of the paint stripes in the background of the grad pics! The yellow stars banners and photo mat help repeat the yellow/gold on the graduate's robe and cords! And then the dark blues of the background horizontal mat and tape borders are repeating the blues. She's balanced all the elements so that the main focus is on the graduate! Well done!

DT/owner Becca

[Theme #26 required elements: 'congratulations', cap, tassel, and scroll clipart; AND a gold heart puffy sticker and "heartfelt wishes of celebration"]

This card is for my nephew whose school colors are also blue and gold/yellow. His favorite colors though are orange and green. I've chosen this yellow with gold foil mortar lines for the front panel. Inside there is an orange and blue patterned cardstock and across from it is a navy blue. (See my personal paper-crafting blog for pics of the inside.) 

and

DT member Diane

[Theme #26 required elements: 2023; kdg for kindergarten; little girl in cap and gown; 2 rolled scrolls; AND a little pink heart shape on top of the cap]

Diane's card is super cute and certainly will be a treasure keepsake for the little girl recipient! Her die-cuts have just made this card really special!! The large scroll was made using her Silhouette's Design Store and the darling little girl graduate is from Mo's Digital Pencil. Her amazing resources have come together fabulously!

For more design inspiration, I've made some tags.

One is for my mom and the other is for my great aunt, who lives across the street from me!

My mom is 83-84 years old and my auntie is a few years older at almost 92!

and

If you haven't participated 3 times, then please start a stash quest and get some Mother's Day occasion projects started!

We accept more than cards--tags, bookmarks, scrapbook layouts, TN pages or spreads, ATCs, etc.

I'm okay with recognizing any mother or mother figure in your life: a new mom, a lady who is a grandma for the 1st time or the 12th time, etc. One of my high school classmates just became a great grandma for the 1st time!! I'm like how can this be! But she started early. :) She's thrilled to be a great grandma and I'm waiting to see her 4 generation snapshots.

Who do you want to craft for with HQCB #27??
