HQCB #40 Halloween Holiday with heart/love theme REMINDER

 Quick Post Reminder for HQCB #40

The midway point for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's #40 theme has arrived.

Theme #40 is Halloween theme with heart/love==>

2 parts:

1. Halloween (image or sentiment) 

AND

2. at least 1 of these: heart shape, the word 'heart', and/or the word 'love'

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

<3  **  <3  **  <3

more design inspiration from owner Becca:

 card #1=

[required #40 theme elements:

Halloween element= pumpkin, the word 'Halloween' in the doodled text sentiment; lots of autumn elements since I live in the Northern Hemisphere and that's what season we have for October 31;

AND

heart/love= the word 'loving' used for text plus 3 little doodled black hearts]

.I like how most of these old stash items were used to create terrific fun encouragement cards. These are for 2 young adult nieces who are working at a summer camp, one as a counselor and the other is a full-time year round employee. 

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

Halloween occasion projects with heart/love included are due by 12:30am October 27, 2023.
