Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: I'm Becca S, an artsy-craftsy blogger! About 2 years ago I was on Deanne's design team for the expanded Halloween and other occasions challenge blog. Then participation waned. So she's bringing it back on October 1st...just in time for 2026 Halloween. I like to do 'softer' Halloween with things that are cute, silly, maybe a tad weird such as this wild n wacky designed pumpkin!!!
where: HCAYR or Halloween Crafts All Year Round (direct blog link is shared towards the bottom)
when: October 1, 2026 for #1; personal blog not published until evening of Oct 3rd
why: As mentioned in my introduction, I was on Deanne's design team before and I want to support her efforts as much as I'm able. In fact I still have some Halloween print/patterned papers and ephemera in storage in my craft studio that I'm going to have to go treasure hunting for!
what: Have a Wild N Wacky Halloween

This is a very fancy pumpkin, imagine finding it in your garden, if it was real so pretty..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in with our challenge at Little Red Wagon, hope you will play again..
Luv CHRISSYxx
I know! Who wouldn't want a decorated pumpkin like this in your garden or front porch or even on your dining room table???! Thanks for stopping by!!!
DeleteOh, what an expressive pumpkin! It’s a fantastic idea to decorate the individual segments with different patterned papers. It looks incredibly interesting, and I really like it. I also really love the different colored half-pearls you used—they’re a real eye-catching detail.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work—thanks for participating in our current "Everybody Art Challenge."
Hugs, Uschi
It is expressive!!! Sort of like how I dressed for teaching or church back in my 20s-30s-40s!! Scarf, brooch, earrings, sometimes an added necklace or two to accessorize my outfit!!! Thanks for stopping by, Uschi!!!
