My MTTCC #107 Star shape base Christmas card project starts 28 Feb 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! -- from America's heartland!

Why: This posting focuses on my manager/DT commitment to the design team at My Time To Craft Christmas challenge blog; specifically #107. The theme for #107 was suggested by another DT member and is the last in our series of shaped-base Christmas cards. This time we require star-shape based Christmas topics. 

When: #107 starts February 28, 2025 and lasts for 13 days...and remember Feb 28 is the last day of the month; not the 30th or 31st. 

What: Star Light Wishes Christmas card

notes:

1. black cardstock = Neenah; scrap pieces left from a full sheet

2. bold blue cardstock = also Neenah/Astrobrights; also scraps leftover

3. deckle-edged decorative scissors used on the black

4. silver glitter with star embossing decorative tape = old stash item

5. silver glitter foam star and the clear little stars = Recollections

6. navy blue pearl gems (only 3 from a package) = Crafter's Square

7. "Star light" lettering stencils = came from different small stencil sheets from a Bible theme set that was still out on my craft table...I like using different font styles and sizes together on a card; I think it's similar to mixing prints like stripes and dots together! :)

8. "wishes" lettering = my cursive handwriting

9. black dual-tip marker = Art Skills

~~ interesting fact:

fine arts and practical arts for me started very young! Through 4-H Club at age nine-15 or 16, I started building my skills in cooking, baking, grilling, sewing, nature crafts, flower arranging, etc.

 Before that at age six, I started piano lessons but stalled around 7.5 years old then restarted from ages 9-17! Clarinet and bass clarinet lessons in the school bands started at age 10 -18. 

Card-making started in my mid-20s to late 20s and then around age 47, I discovered a message board swap group through Paper Wishes website that morphed into blogging around 2010!

~~fun thing we did recently: during our 3 hours each weekday of babysitting our honorary granddaughter, I try to get some music and movement time spent to help her cognitively but also with gross motor skills! Several times this week, she's asked 'Grampa' to dance and sing with her! And he did! <3

We do kids classics like If You're Happy and You Know It, Old MacDonald, B-I-N-G-O, etc. but I also introduce her to other genres and time periods like Monster Mash, Chuck Berry's Twist, ABBA's Dancing Queen, etc. Fun!

~~not so good life happenings: purchased a used Ford Focus in late fall 2024 (hub's decision) and it's needed a few things fixed but then in mid-January, the check engine light came on; got that checked and said it was the fuel sensor; $180; ok; bring it home and next morning, it won't start; $175 to have it towed back to the business that did the fuel sensor!!!! ugh....

I've asked the DT to do a couple of months of shaped cards with each member suggesting a specific item or common shape symbol . Tree was suggested by another DT member.
