Mason Jar Lemonade Mug thinking of you card

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!

who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy former teacher! On August 12th, I drove almost 2 hours in the rain (and then return trip) to meet 2 childhood friends for lunch at a super cool bar/grill restaurant in Champaign, IL. We all met in kindergarten so many years ago!! I always enjoy our get-togethers!

where: this card is a non-design team related commitment; just for fun

when:  made on August 16, 2026 and blog/linked on Aug 18th. 

why: Occasionally, I need to stop and spend time creating a project for other owners' challenge(s).

1. white cardstock base (folded on most of left side) = Georgia-Pacific

2. Canary Yellow alcohol marker = Arteza

3. red dual-tip marker = Art Skills

4. alphabet stencil ruler = not sure of vendor; this was found at my mom's house; I believe the set are at least 40-50 years old!!!!

5. mason jar mug with straw image = Super Coloring Pages website; free printable; sized to 2 per page; **note: the straw was a bendy style but I thought durability-wise, I better edit and make it a straight straw**
