Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello, from north central Illinois in the USA heartland! The "Midwest". I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old craft artisan and blogger that is a design team member for Deanne's Paper Rocks Scissors challenges blog.
where: Paper Rocks Scissors #19. The blog post link and image badge are located at the bottom of my posting.
when: PRS #19 launches on August 2, 2026 and goes for the rest of the month. My blog post will be published after 1 pm central time zone on Aug 2nd.
why: The theme of PRS is always 'anything paper and/or scissors' goes. I always try to use both each time I create a design team project. I tend to go 'old school' methods anyway. I've got paper cutters and punches even die-cut/embossing plates machines but only use 2 shape punches a couple of times each month!
what: my PRS #19 project is School/office themed thinking of you
how-to and/or vendor notes: (a) kraft cardstock + 5 papers; (b) scissors used to cut measured plaid paper and bright blue paper; not shown: scissors were used to cut dual-sided adhesive tape strips for the papers
1. small kraft card base (fold on left side) w/ matching envelope = from pack by Crafter's Square
2. not shown = white thin cardstock under the bright blue paper panel/focal = Jot
3. Purple and Aqua Plaid print paper panel (apprx. 4" x 5") = Recollections
4. bright blue paper panel = Colorbok
5. white, purple and aqua punched paper pieces = multicolor paper pad by Hello Hobby from Walmart
6. navy blue puffy letters and numbers = American Crafts
7. puffy purple heart sticker = multicolor pack of puffy hearts = Hello Hobby from Walmart
8. black stamp pad/ink = Hero Arts
9. 'thinking of you' clear stamp = from a mixed expressions stamp pack = Crafter's Square
10. office supplies little ephemera and vellum ephemera = Poppy & Pear's Bea Valint package of mixed paper ephemera and vellum ephemera
