Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: The purpose of this posting is to share my next owner/DT inspiration projects for Christmas or not Bingo Challenges. #16 bingo board has wonderful variety from column to column. It was hard to select just 1 (since the rest of the team is always so ultra fabulous)!!! And the other DT members and Guest DTs focused on using I, N and O so I didn't want to leave out columns B or G and created one for each of those.
when: ConBC #16 starts November 1 and ends on December 15, 2025 (then we take a 2 week break between challenges and will return on January 1, 2026)
what: Project #1 = Column B (appreciation, yellow & gold, free, weave)
how-to & vendor notes for #1 using Column B=
1. Thanksgiving/Appreciation = "so very thankful" vellum from Farmstead Harvest by American Crafts
2. yellow & gold = two little yellow enamel hearts by Fancy Pants Designs; harvest gold tones in the flowers and dotted print paper by Simple Stories from an old card kit; also metallic gold decorative tapes (unsure on the vendor; it's been in my stash for several years)
3. free = the different products like enamels, vellum, die-cut ephemera, etc.
4. weave = strips of the gold metallic decorative tape were applied in a partial weave overlapping/some over and some under sections; (again, I'm unsure of the vendor since it's been removed from packaging and been in my washi tape collection in stash for years)
5. did not use textured paste! = I would like to try this. Haven't yet but would sometime.
a. brown marker pen for outlining around yellow cardstock = Zebra Clickart
b. yellow cardstock panel = Pen + Gear
c. kraft cardstock base panel = Colorbok

and
what: Project #2 = column G (New Year, metallics, free, sentiment focus)
how-to & vendor notes for #2 =
21. New Year = 2026 is included in the sentiment; also the sentiment choice is motivational which lends to creating goals/resolutions
22. metallics = embossed puffy pieces are stickers from 2 different sets = Crafter's Square
23. free = brown geometric print paper is 1/4 of 12" square sheet called Dots & Lines Six by Reminisce; I liked the vertical marks and browns to go with the vertical/soaring of the hot air balloons; light gray linen paper (stash); blue copy paper (Colorbok); deckle-edge scissors (Fiskars); black ink pad for edging (Hero Arts)
24. didn't use smooshing or dabbing!
25. sentiment as focus = I created a Google Doc; font size is at 45!; due to low printer ink toner, I went over the lettering with a black Sharpie
