Howdy! FarmQuest is happy to announce the Top 3 Picks for Theme #8!

Back to the business of who are Top 3. There were a whopping 10 entries and these talented crafters are appreciated for supporting FarmQuest. I hope everyone returns for Theme #9. 

By order of entry, the Top 3 Picks are: 

Entry #2 by Sarah T=

This little bunny with glasses is too adorable! And I think it is marvelous how Sarah paired it with the muted tones to contrast with the brighter hues used to color that cute bunny! It's a hoppy/happy card!!!

AND

Entry #3 by Melanie H=

Another adorable card with pets showing their patriotic support! Melanie was able to use both theme elements in this darling image! She even kept as CAS style. The embossed stars are a delightful touch that also serve to anchor/ground the wagon. This card is purr-fect! 

AND

Entry #7 by Asha K=

Asha K (Savyakala) submitted 2 entries. This one's humorous setting of a fox enjoying his beachside location brought a smile to my face! The soft muted tones work perfectly for this summer inspired card! It's certainly foxie with some moxie! :)

and for many challenges now I've had a goal for the challenge blog to get to 10 entries and you all did it for this Theme #8!!! The Inlinkz tool closed with 10. #10 was entered by Granmargaret (Margaret Ashby). As I promised many challenges ago, I will be sending a prize of 2 rolls of metallic micro-thin decorative tape to you through snail mail for having the 10th submission for this challenge! WOO-HOO!!!

Granmargaret's card followed a great sketch to feature 3 sweet little festive scenes. Two of the scenes have animals. There is a horse-drawn sleigh on the left and the cute puppies on the right. This card reminds us of warm cozy and sometimes furry moments of the holidays! 

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

Appreciatively, Becca S (FQCB owner)

This is what I shared back in April. So one set/card with 2 thin rolls will be mailed to the 10th submission artist. 

PS. Make sure to catch the release of Theme #9 in less than 1 hour!!!

 

 FarmQuest Challenge Blog Top 3 Picks for Theme #4

Theme #4 ended in the early hours of May 27th. 

The theme elements were: poultry AND wire/metal.

No ducks, geese, or turkeys but lots of hens, chicks, and roosters!

So many creative entries and very difficult to narrow it to 3. The crafters entries have demonstrated lots of techniques, technology, and products. 

In order of submission out of the 8 entries:

#2= Maria from Scrapeando paso el rato blog with her French chicken tag

#4= Leslie T from Love 2 Scrap 2 blog with her 2nd entry "Hey Girl Hey" diva card

and #7= Katrina B from Scrappy Horses blog with her bold mixed media card

And as promised in a previous challenge or so, whenever we got 5 or 10 entries I would give those numbered entries a prize. With this theme, we got to #8, so #5 was entered by:

Cari Scharping (If Animals Could Talk card)

so email your mailing address in order for me to get that in the mail for you, Cari S!

Theme #5 has begun so make sure to go to FarmQuest's home page and find the new challenge. 

Thanks everyone for supporting FarmQuest Challenge Blog!! 

I truly hope the momentum keeps going! If you know crafting friends who enjoy topics centered around gardening, farming, ranching, camping, hiking, pond/lake life, and more outdoor rural themes, make sure to refer them to FQCB.

Surprise Incentive Announcement for Theme #2

that ends at 12:30am CST/Chicago on April 27, 2022. 

As of a couple minutes ago, there have been 0 entries.

If I get 3 entries, whoever's project is entry #3, I will mail this prize to them:

This is a Hobby Lobby product with 25 heart shaped buttons with a red crystal surface and metal backing.

Will you be the 3rd entry before Theme #2 ends?

FQCB's Theme #2 is about a journey or destination that makes you think of a quiet time, solace, relaxation, etc. The theme has 2 requirements:

show a map image 

AND 

a path/walkway/road image.

In the original Theme #2 posting, I've given some brainstorming possibilities and also did that in the reminder post. The link to Theme #2 can be found here to help you read the details:

My heart needs some encouragement for this new crafting endeavor that I started on March 28. 2022.

In Theme #1 FQCB had 2 entries by 2 followers. 

I give thanks for those two crafters' support. 

To keep momentum going, I will give prizes in the April 28th start date for Theme #3 for whoever has entries #5 and #10. Help me reach these number goals. Got to start somewhere. Starting small and building does take time so if you have started following and/or participating yet, why not get your stash quest going and see what you can come up with for the current theme #2 that only has 2-ish days left!!!
