My Christmas or not Bingo Challenges #19 DT card for 1 May 2026

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

who: Hi! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy with a mish-mesh style who enjoys blogging about my creations and being an owner of many crafting challenge blogs. 

An interesting fact about one of my favorite sewing projects: I created and sewed my wedding dress!!! YES! In January we celebrated our 30th anniversary. I was still sewing the hem during the early hours of our wedding day! I spent about $200 to buy silk shantung fabric, some lace trim and a large lace applique for the bodice, 2 patterns (taking the bodice of 1 and the skirt and 'bustle' of the other to merge together), beads, a beaded headband and netting for my headpiece plus notions like thread, interfacing and a very long zipper.

Loving my AA #94 DT card and shaped tag with AG theme on 15 May 2025

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity Blog!

why: This post's purpose is to showcase a new DT inspiration card for #94 at AA or Ally's Angels. It's a challenge blog with anything goes theme each offset month. My choice this time was to punch the circle (sky/inked) then ink the front panel. Next was to stamp the sentiment within the circle. Lastly adding the embossed stickers and little hearts and dots to create a scene. That was describing steps for Project #1 Llama card. For #2, clear glue was used to adhere the little parachute guy to the chalkboard tag. Overnight dry time was needed. The tag came with the natural beige cording so I added red and black cording, added a bunch of little enamel dots to look like other stuff floating in the sky. Colorful alpha stickers arranged in a staggered order than completes the fun tag!
