TFATU January 2023 REMINDER card PLUS Collaboration with Double Trouble

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! It's a wonderful opportunity for The Fairy and The Unicorn challenge blog to collaborate with Double Trouble! D.T.C.B. has such an unique way to approach challenge themes and to do it in a way that supports another challenge blog! 

Our usual time table schedules are a bit offset but starting today, January 20 through the 31st, you can continue to link up Anything Fantasy Goes cards with us AND/OR add some type of stitching detail to your card to also qualify for Double Trouble. Your chances for prizes and recognition at Double Trouble increase if you do ours, too. 

This is for my reminder/special collaboration announcement post extra inspiration project is --


Design notes:

1. Pixie Dust Designs = 2 gnomes, gnome house, and the sentiment stamp

2. Hot Off The Press/Paper Wishes website = the checked gingham scraps in different colors
