Note: I own FQHSKCB and FQGGCB which are food content related challenge blogs. For FarmQuest HomeStyle Kitchen think of it as anything food goes or even as anything kitchen goes. Dinnerware, glassware, recipes, aprons, spatulas, measuring cups, candy, cookies, cocoa, etc. are welcomed there anytime. For FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges think of it like a very popular Food Network cable TV show. There are 2 types of game challenges every 30-31 days with one based on store aisles of contents and the other based on alphabet foods such as H for honey, ham, hickory-smoked steak, hickory nuts, hazelnuts, etc. With the gingerbread cookie, candy canes, and peppermint swirl candies, if I didn't own FQHSKCB, I could link up. If FQGGCB was having C (candy canes) or G (gingerbread) or P (peppermints) alphabet letter foods, I could link up this card. OR if it was an odd aisle #7 which contains candy, nuts, and baking ingredients, I could share this card.

Loving this AACB #84 DT card with stamping for 15 July 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity Blog!

purpose: this posting shares my newest design team project for Ally's Angels Challenge Blog or AACB. After 2024 got started, I decided for the rest of the year, I would put to work unused or under-used stamps that I have. For July since many other competitions do a Christmas in July, I decided to go with a Dear Santa letter kind of idea for my DT card. AACB is always anything goes theme so I can have projects for different occasions depending on what I need for family or friends.

when: #84 anything goes theme competition starts July 15, 2024 and last for about 25 days or so (sorry for a few hours late in sharing; our power went out at midnight and came back on at 6:10am!!!!; lots of tree damage around time; had 2 tornadoes fairly close on 2 different sides of us; within 10 miles S/SW was the closest and then a few minutes later about 15-20 miles away a different one to the E/NE!!! Luckily we're okay with mostly tree branches and limbs down throughout the town of 1,400.)

what: Dear Santa From Rudolph Christmas card



notes:

1. Dear Santa stamp used on the green specialty paper, Rudolph/deer stamp used on the ivory paper and the 5 stickers = Busy Sidewalks stamp set and sticker book = Crate Paper/American Crafts

2. mint/sage green cardstock matting behind the sticker focal square = Neenah

3. cocoa brown ink pad = Lawn Fawn

4. black fine tip ink pen 

5. specialty papers and ivory paper bought in a scraps package = Crafter's Square

Use a household product theme for the March 2020 challenge at APTS blog

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog with a post that revolves around creative resourcefulness! What can you upcycle from something found in your house? Maybe it's not upcycling. Maybe it's repurposing. Whatever sparks your creativity in this, it might be difficult to outdo the rest of the design team crew of APTS blog!

For my resident designer (DT crew) inspiration project(s), I got the brainstorm about using the word "ultrabrite"/ultrabright for adjectives to make a friendship card and an encouragement/sympathy card=

Card #1= larger font size brand name from toothpaste packaging


Card #2= medium font size brand name from the same toothpaste packaging


APTS blog link for the new monthly challenge released Monday, March 2, 2020=

Anything Goes theme no 237 for TCCC blog

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! I'm Becca S who loves crafting for the artistry aspects and also the joy and de-stressing it allows me. If a week goes by without a little bit of creativity, I get a bit cranky!

The first of the month NEW challenge #237 for The Crafter's Café Challenge blog has an anything goes theme. So come on and get involved in your makerspace!!! Here's my adorable "pre-spring" card=


The mint/sage green is the card base. The tile-looking patterned paper is an oldie and I've just about used it all during the past year. The chevron stripe is a product of The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby. The mint green, soft yellow, and mid-gray cardstocks are all Astrobrights line by Neenah.




The prize sponsors for TCCC's #237 challenge are Scribbles Design (I'm using their flowerpot digi) and Dr. Digi's.

TCCC's link for #237= https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/03/237-anything-goes.html







And a cropped scan view=


Then some cell phone camera pics taken close-up to capture the sparkly glitter paint pens used to color the sweet digi=



Don't you think all the glitter makes the card extra special???!!!! It just looks so fabulous from different angles! I had to be very careful (especially being left-handed) to make sure I didn't smear any glitter paint pens or metallic pens. Something else that helped this card and digi image have pizazz was the yellow cardstock. Instead of using white the yellow just adds a sunshine-y ray of springtime to this card.
