MTTC #500 Theme is Numbers DT inspiration card for 27 January 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart's excited this week about 4 inches of snow coming, celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary, and reaching this #500 theme for My Time To Craft!!!

Oo-la-la!!! At MTTC, I've picked the first 2 themes of the year (welcome baby and snowman) as well as 'administratively' designated this #500 theme to be Numbers. I just couldn't imagine us not doing something celebratory for our 500th competition in blogland! 

It happens to have worked out that my/our 27th anniversary is on the 27th of January and that's also our launch date! Wow! Easy-peasy card idea for me! 

This card is ultra feminine but my husband will just place it on the piano so I might as well have something very pretty to look at! :)

b. the floral collage cardstock cut with decorative scissors started as a 4" x 6" panel = My Mind's Eye

c. the light gray mat cardstock = The Paper Studio

d. the rest are stash items

Krafty Chicks Week 4 All Occasion Guest DT inspiration

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart is bittersweet with this posting! This is my last week of honor as Guest Chick DT for Krafty Chicks challenge blog! Week 4 theme at KC is "All Occasion" #648. 

I chose to use my roll of washi tape petals that can be added to in order to build up as large of a flower that you want. That started the card. Then pearl gems/dots added. Some pink glitter glue was thinned out with white glue and applied to the edges to not only hold them down but add some pink to define the blue and white petals against the turquoise cardstock. 

Encouragement card=

Some vendor notes:

a. washi tape petals (I think is Pen + Gear)

b. the black 'diamond' glitter tape (I think is Scotch brand...old item in my stash)

c. the Scripture verse was cut with a circle stencil/traced, colored, and then applied to the small silver doily = Colorful Prayer Cards by Crown Jewelz in Ohio (bought at Dollar Tree)

d. the other items are old stash items

THICC #132 for DT inspiration on 24 January 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Heart For Creativity Blog! My heart's excited to share another 2023 Christmas card! Yes, I create Christmas cards all throughout the year! It helps since I send to lots of relatives and family friends on both my side and my husband's. 

This one was a whimsical make with the nutcracker paper that was recycled from gift wrap for a 2022 Christmas gift from my brother's family! Yes! I'm frugal yet I look for great design as well as colors that catch my eye! This one caught both with the bold color tones and I didn't have anything with nutcrackers in my Christmas supplies!

The Holly and The Ivy Christmas Challenge Blog design team inspiration:

#132 starts January 24, 2023 and ends on February 6th.

Some design notes:

1. items from TGSB/LALGSB's January kit; mini kit = lavender base card (Studio G), nutcracker wrapping paper panel, the speckled specialty paper, gold snowflakes (Paper Wishes)

2. added red and white buffalo plaid cardstock (The Paper Studio), red paper, quote printed on Google Doc, gold metallic ink pad, black ink pad
