Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S, an artsy-craftsy mish-mesh style paper-crafter and sometimes digital 'dabber' who loves colorful palettes, mixing of patterns and blending old with new including recycled products!
where: Christmas or not Bingo Challenges is one of my owned crafting challenge blogs. The blog post and bingo board will be shared at the bottom of the posting.
when: #20 for ConBC starts July 1 and ends August 15, 2026.
why: I'm connected to this challenge blog when it was first created by Leslie T, being part of her original design team and becoming her back-up co-owner. When she decided to switch her focus to be more centered on company product teams, she asked me first if I wanted to be sole owner and I quickly said yes. I love that there are 5 columns of choices and you can creatively select which of the elements to use (or use all 5!).
