Food-wise there are text words for 'hot' and 'chocolate' plus black and dark brown swirl marks for liquid in the cup along with a gingerbread man cookie image.

There is a 4th challenge that is 'anything goes' theme (Ally's Angels) where I could share if I wasn't the owner. So I'll be linking up to other owners/managers challenges.

My Pin-spirational #334 DT project with red and pink color theme on 1 Feb 2026

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting spotlights my second design team project for Pin-spirational Challenges owned by artisan/blogger friend Deanne. The themes in 2026 are color combinations. Pin-spirational #334 color combo = red and pink. I've used more pink tones than reds but the reds are there in the dots of the scalloped border and outlining of the border and chain of hearts. There is a small spot in the watercolor swirled print CS that gets close to dark red just above the light pink heart on the right side. In person, there are neon pinks so the contrast of tones is greater. 

when: #334 starts on February 1, 2026 and ends on Feb 28; which is the last day in February this year (no leap year). 

what: Project #1 = "Love you always"



how-to & vendor notes for #1 = 

1. watercolor/swirl print CS = multicolor pack = Crafter's Square

2. the middle heart cut-out (and scalloped border) is actually a neon bright pink = Astrobrights/Neenah

3. the left and right heart cut-outs = Art Skills cardstock scraps

4. dots in the scalloped border = bright pink glitter glue = Art Skills

5. red and magenta markers for dotting in the scalloped border and just red for outlining of the border and the heart cut-outs

6. 'love you always' = part of a mixed expression clear stamps pack= unmarked bag = given in a kindness box

7. the pink peony flower stickers = Market Square sticker book by Maggie Holmes, 2021, American Crafts

8. two butterflies and three small pale pink flowers; stickers with white margins that were altered = Antique Garden sticker book by K & Company; 2021; American Crafts

9. Condensed Milk color alcohol marker to change the K & Co stickers' white margins to pale beige; I did this since the other stickers have clear margins; not as noticeable
