My Heart's Quest Pretty in Pink #1 DT mostly pink cards on 15 Sept 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!

who: Hello! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy former FACS (home economics) and also Early Childhood teacher! For my wedding dress, I took 2 patterns and merged them together. I altered the sleeve length and also the bow/bustle at my back waist area. The pew markers and most of the other decorations were put together by me. A brother-in-law of my husband's created an arch, painted it gold and scroll-saw the letters of our names to have on boards that he placed on the support bar connecting the sides together. It was a unique feature for our ceremony. That was 30.5 years ago already!!! <3

where: Heart's Quest Pretty In Pink is a brand new crafting challenge blog and the blog link will be shared near the bottom of this post. I've started this since Creations in Pink owned by another crafting blogger was closed in August 2026.  

when: #1 starts September 15 until October 12, 2026. 

why: Since mid-March to August 12, 2026, I was on the design team for CIP, helping to provide inspirational cards featuring mostly pinks. And I knew that past entry levels were pretty good back prior to 2025. So I'll give it a try and see how it goes. 

what: Project #1= Arched focal card with friendship quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

how: This card has several ranges of pinks + pinkish/lavender in the plaid, a small bit of light blue and darker blue and bits of green. Neutrals of white, black and gray.

1. pastel pink cardstock top-folded to dimensions of 4.25" wide & 5.5" high = Colorbok

2. friendship quote was found on page 23 in a gift book called "Friendship Is A Gift" = Clever Factory

3. gray colored pencil = Marvy Uchida/stash box

4. gray retractable non-smudge marker pen = Zebra Clickart

5. plaid print paper = Recollections

6. flower stickers = Antique Garden sticker book by K & Company
