below: my KJV Bible purchased in 2024 with which I did some Bible verse highlighting with my mother off and on during the last 5 months before she entered a long-term care facility. I decided that for January 2025, I would restart with the addition of a monthly planner to write a summary thought for each verse. In the Bible, I box the verse and use a peach crayon to highlight it and then either in the top margin or bottom margin, I will date it. 

and pic 3 below = this shows some of the additions made from the start of January until almost mid-January. Decorative snowflake tape added for a top border. An "important" text sticker added next to the January 1st box. A bottom white and silver mirror foil decorative tape was added.

Loving this AACB #80 DT inspiration card using 3 stamps for 10 March 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting is to share my contribution to Ally's Angels which is an anything goes theme competition challenge blog

when: #80 starts March 10 and lasts for almost a full month

what: I've discovered lately that my stamp collection has been neglected and I need to purposely start using them! So here's "A Trio of Roses"= 

notes:

1. pink cardstock base and white cardstock panel = Neenah

2. pink threads specialty paper = stash

3. three stamps from set by Creative Devotion/American Crafts

4. rose stamp was used 3 times, the lines came stacked liked that to be used whatever direction you want and I thought to make them look like stems; 'love' is just 1 of 3 words included in the set; there is also a laurel wreath, a heart, a bundle of dash marks.

5. roses were colored with a combination of markers and colored pencils; the letters of love were also filled with a soft pink colored pencil; and the white stamped panel was outlined with a red marker
