My Paper Rock Scissors Challenges #21 design team card

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

who: Hello! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy craftsy blogger. This stenciled card is my PRS #21 design team inspiration project for the anything goes using paper and/or scissors. 

where: Paper Rock Scissors is a crafting challenge blog owned by Deanne. The #21 blog post link will be shared at the bottom of this posting of mine

when: #21 starts on October 2, 2026 and goes for the month. 

why: Deanne generously gives much of her time and creativity to be on several of my challenge blogs' teams. I've helped her with a few past challenges she's opened and currently help her with two of her five. I try to participate in the other three each month. 

what: "Have A Cozy Day!" card


how:

1. papers used =

a. white cardstock A2 size base; folded on left side = from pack w/ white envelope = Crafter's Square

Another Scripture Writing Journal Page + Word of Year Journal Card blogged on 25 Feb 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This project showcases 2 different Bible Study/Journaling personal projects' next installments made on February 24 and blogged on February 25. Through the Christian Card Makers Women's Fellowship group in Facebook, I use the Scripture Writing Plan(s) shared by the group administrator. Since I didn't get this started in January, I've been using February days to go back to the January verses. Most days have more verses/passages given but I've edited because of playing 'catch-up'. 

In January, I started doing index card type journal pages/entries for my 2026 Word of the Year (from the Bible). Because I'm at 8.5+ years since a major medical event and just under 1.5 years since my mom passed, I felt the synonyms of 'overcome' and 'conquer' were the best for my 2026 spiritual journey. January's pages 1 and 2 used 'overcometh' and for February pages 3 and 4 using conquers, conquered and conquerors. 

when: projects completed on Tuesday February 24 and blogged on Wednesday February 25, 2026. 

what: Project #1 = Scripture Writing Plan January 2026 days 11-12



how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. journal with light tone lined sheets = Crownz Jewelz from Ashland, OH; bought at Dollar Tree store
