Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S as known in the crafting challenge blog. Becca is short for Rebecca. I'm honorary Grandma Becca to a little girl we've babysat for and I'm Aunt Becca to my 4 adult nieces and 2 nephews. Now there are 1 great nephew and 2 great nieces who call me Aunt Becca. My husband's nieces and nephews included 4 who were/are older than me!!! Marrying a guy 12-13 years older and who was kid #6 of 7, he became an uncle when he was about 7-8 years old. It just makes gatherings fun!
where: Pin-spirational #341 = look at the bottom of the post for the post link and image prompt that has inspired my card
when: #341 starts September 1, 2026 and stays open for the month.
why: this post features my newest design team card for Pin-spirational, a crafting challenge blog owned by blogger friend Deanne.
