MTTC challenge blog 05 Feb 2021 theme of love

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart really wants to have the majority of my 2021 cards to contain heart(s) shapes and/or the word heart or love. One of my focus words for this year is renewal because after a year of restrictions during a pandemic, we all can use some renewal in thoughts, words, and deeds.

Today for the students who I'm their substitute teacher during their regular teacher's maternity leave, I surprised them with Burger King Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches. YES! Wallet-wise, I just needed a dozen. And what I didn't know at the time until I looked at the receipt later was that the manager only charged me for 8 of them!! Anyway, I shared a little love with food for these 5th graders! They later completed their 2nd day/2nd subject MAP Testing, so they got a little extra fuel in their tanks before being academically assessed in all things Reading related. And yes, 10-11 year olds can be very polite and appreciative. They were so stunned!!! :)

With Valentine's Day celebrated on the 14th, having a theme of love is timely appropriate. 

My Time to Craft challenge blog's design team commitment is why I've created this card. 

Participation time for this theme at MTTC will be 2/5/21 to 2/18/21. The next theme will begin on the 19th. So make sure where you are in the world that you check on the blog site to make sure there's time left to link up your project.
