Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity, a personal crafting blog!
who: I'm Becca S, owner of this blog and 13 crafting challenge blogs! YES! My hobby of paper/hybrid crafting has become a super power hobby during the past 2-3 years! I started fine arts piano lessons when I was 6 years old and practical arts skills of sewing, cooking and baking when I was 9 years old. My parents were very supportive and even our grandmothers for my sister and I to try diverse crafts/hobbies. My sister did a lot better at crocheting than I did. I did better with sewing even in spite of being left-handed!! (Everything is designed for right-handed folks!!! grrrrr! :))
where: These cards are for Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenges Blog. The blog link will be located after my closing.
when: #4 in 2026 starts April 4, 2026 and ends on April 30th.
why: Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenges Blog is my rename for the former "The Fairy and The Unicorn" which had been owned by at least 2 previous individuals. The theme has always been anything goes fantasy. I just felt the blog title only wanted 2 kinds of fantasy creatures. I've been owner plus a design team member for several years.
