Loving this Nativity Christmas card non-DT project on 26 August 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!

why: This is a non-DT contribution. I wanted to participate in some Christmas challenges before August ends. CCAYR's required song prompt for "O Holy Night" led me to look through my Christmas supplies and I decided to repurpose a box card image altering it into an arch shape.

when: Tuesday night, August 26, 2025

what: Project #1 = Nativity Christmas

how-to & vendor notes:

1. kraft paper for base = unmarked plastic sleeve packaging; don't remember where I got it...maybe an old Amazon order two years ago...???

2. white satin sheen specialty paper and the bronze/coppery threads specialty paper = part of a scrap pack = Crafter's Square

3. Nativity scene card front panel; did some measuring to trim sides and the bottom margin; around the top, the sentiment/song lyric was already in a semi-circle format so that's what led me to make it an arch-topped focal. = box card sold by Dollar General Stores

4. dark brown retractable marker pen = Zebra Clickart

5. little weathered triangle puffy accents, 'screws' and a little floral = all from a package of 'steam punk' kind of puffy stickers = Crafter's Square
