Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: This posting's focus is on 2 design team PRS #5 projects for June. The theme is easy: use paper and/or scissors. For the first project, I've decorated a tag by fussy cutting the paper leaves and added 2 colors of cording that I cut. For the second project, I did suns and summery blue sky stenciled and ink focal for a friendship card.
when: #5 for Paper-Rocks-Scissors Challenges starts on June 2, 2025 and lasts for the month of June
what: Project #1 = Friendship tag in green and gold
how-to notes for #1 =
1. paper/cardstock: green with gold foil chevron tag (came without cording) = part of a mixed design set purchased over a year ago = Maggie Holmes (?)
2. clear iridescent gems for "HI" = part of a large sheet/pack = Crafter's Square
3. lime green butterfly (didn't come dotted) part of 3 colors pack = Crafter's Square
4. paper + scissors to cut leaves: green tonal specialty paper/scraps = stash box
5. gold foil embossed pansy-shape flower sticker = part of a multi-design pack = Crafter's Square
6. enamel dots = Freckled Fawn
7. light brown retractable marker pen = Zebra Clickarts (for butterfly's dots)
8. scissors to cut: two colors of cording (light green and yellow) = came in different multi-packs = also Crafter's Square

C. The Neglected Stuff; new on June 1; theme is the title; use something over a year old; My tag base came out of a set of mixed tags that either have green, gold foil, white or a combination of those; I've had them over a year; this particular one got pulled out of the packaging and not used...other stuff got on top...then when I picked up a stack to sort and put away, viola'...I'll embellish for a DT project!
