FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge Blog

Competitions are always AGCC:

Anything Goes Country Christmas (and again by country, I mean rural/outdoors).

Competitions start and end at 12am CT/Chicago time. Competitions start on the 7th of a month and end on the following 5th.

Accepted formats are: cards, gift card holders, tags, and/or package toppers like those for treat bags. Think of this as paper-crafting items to give-away at holiday time. 

Keep your occasions/sentiments to expressions like warm wishes, cozy, winter wishes, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and others that fit for December and January like Boxing Day, St. Lucia Day, St. Nicholas Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa....

[#3 choice of format: card

AGCC elements: barn decorated with wreath and lights; snowy pine trees]

I love Lori's barn scene! The doodled outlining is a fun touch and makes me think of fence wire. Some shiplap styled white barn siding behind the barn scene is another great farmhouse touch. Too cute!

DT member Becca:

[#3 AGCC options: card format; wintery northern lights sky background, snowflakes, bear, holly, and wintery sentiments]

AND

DT member Nana Connie:

[#3 AGCC options: card format; pine tree branches with a pinecone]

Can't you smell the pine?!!! Nana Connie watercolor painted this image from Eureka Stamps! Farm-tastic! Outdoors glory! She went for giving it a classy look rather than rustic. Awesome! 

AND

DT member Deanne:

[AGCC format: card; elements lakeside home with snow;

Deanne's added chunky glitter to the roofline for some snowy glitz!] 

Deanne's enhanced a book illustration at the windows and along the roof edges! Don't you want to have this lakeside home?!!! The ducks flying overhead also helps reinforce the country setting. Outside the home is looks cold but the fireplace and the lights glowing in the window makes it look cozy and inviting!
