Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: This posting showcases my newest design team (DT) inspiration project for Ally's Angels, a crafting challenge blog. The theme is always anything goes. For quite awhile for my AA design projects I've used old neglected stamps, maybe a few newer stamps and/or inked focal area or backgrounds. I'm going to continue this into 2026. New to me, first usages, for the plants/leaves & flowers frame stamp & the 'thinking of you' stamp from Bo Bunny are used for #101's focal!
when: #101 starts on December 15, 2025 and ends on January 12, 2026!!!
what: Project #1 =
how-to &/or vendor notes for #1 =
1. lime green bright CS panels with center focal 4" square and the base at 5.75" square = Astrobrights/Neenah
2. plant frame stamp & t.o.y. stamp are 2 of 4 stamps = Willow and Sage set/collection by Bo Bunny 2021 = just received; new to me/1st time to use both stamps
