My Heart's Quest Fantasy #4 in 2026 design team projects on 4 April 2026

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

who: I'm Becca S, owner of this blog and 13 crafting challenge blogs! YES! My hobby of paper/hybrid crafting has become a super power hobby during the past 2-3 years! I started fine arts piano lessons when I was 6 years old and practical arts skills of sewing, cooking and baking when I was 9 years old. My parents were very supportive and even our grandmothers for my sister and I to try diverse crafts/hobbies. My sister did a lot better at crocheting than I did. I did better with sewing even in spite of being left-handed!! (Everything is designed for right-handed folks!!! grrrrr! :)) 

where: These cards are for Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenges Blog. The blog link will be located after my closing. 

when: #4 in 2026 starts April 4, 2026 and ends on April 30th. 

why: Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenges Blog is my rename for the former "The Fairy and The Unicorn" which had been owned by at least 2 previous individuals. The theme has always been anything goes fantasy. I just felt the blog title only wanted 2 kinds of fantasy creatures. I've been owner plus a design team member for several years.

~~ odd fact from February 2025 = 

During high school years, mostly junior and senior year, guys that had same PE time as I did in the girls group, started calling me "White Legs Morris" because of my very white pale skin! I've just never been able to tan by sunbathing. I did ask them to stop many times at first but it just fell on their 'deaf' ears....I just shrugged it off. Yes, I was irked but I didn't go to the principal of our very small high school and complain of harassment or bullying. Back in the late 1970s you just 'sucked it up' or you punched them in the face to get a person to shut up. I wasn't going to do that......I survived.

g. griffin = Once Upon A Time; started October 1; theme book inspiration is "The Gruffalo"; my card has the mythical 'griffin' creature ===> The mouse then describes the gruffalo's frightening features, such as "terrible tusks, terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws"; quote from the book and shared at Wikipedia; similarly, the griffin is a make believe creature with the face or partial face that resembles an eagle or hawk along with its wings on the body of a lion!!!!
