Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! -- from America's heartland!
why: This posting showcases my next 2 design team inspiration projects for P-R-S that debuted in February 2025. It's super easy to link up--just use paper and/or scissors...journaling, mixed media, scrapbook layouts, tags, bookmarks, party invites, etc.
when: #2 anything goes using paper and/or scissors theme at Paper-Rocks-Scissors starts on March 2, 2025 and lasts the whole month
what: Project #1: Made in Spain postcard from unnamed year and blank reverse side was bought at the little antique resale shop in my small community!!! This image is Greco's recreation of Toledo {new to me}
notes for #1: paper items are: blue cardstock, floral napkin panel, and postcard cardstock; scissors used for dual-sided adhesive tape strips for adhering, cutting the string, trim cuts at top and bottom edges of the postcard
1. light blue 6" square cardstock = Art Skills
2. napkin = ?/received in a junk journaling swap
3. string = old stash item
4. paper towel (not shown) was used to absorb extra ink from inking/dyeing the string
5. Royal Blue alcohol marker = Arteza (for the string)
6. large blue crystal gem = from a mix size and color set = Crafter's Square
7. postcard origins = ?/bought in 2024 at Donn's Antiques and More store; says it was made in Spain; I live in Illinois!!!!
and
what: Project #2: dog-eared tag
notes for #2: "You're a beauty" tag combines 4 companies' products
Paper usage= tag; 3 die-cut ephemera; coated paper stickers (sentiment, green heart and the lily pad flower)
Scissors usage = cut ribbon and cording
21. dog-eared topped tag = multi-design pack of tags = Heidi Swapp 2014

Note: both the square card and the dog-ear topped tag could be linked to HQFSCAT or Heart's Quest For Shaped Cards and Tags. However I own the challenge blog so I can't link up as a participant but if my readers have shaped-structured cards or tags, they can. HQFSCAT #3 anything goes on a shaped card or shaped tag theme runs March 2-31, 2025.
