Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artisan crafting blogger and former teacher. May has always been a busy month for celebrating moms and grandmothers and then many family birthdays including my sister who is just over 11 months younger than me! Only 21 days shy of a calendar year between us!!!!
She did better in crocheting whereas for me, completing a Granny square was always a triumph! Even with the difficulties of being left-handed, I am the better sewer/sewist. :)
where: this post is for my newest DT member commitment for Deanne's Paper-Rocks-Scissors;
when: #16 launches on May 2, 2026
why: #16 theme is anything goes using paper &/or scissors
what: "Just a note" small card; this might be sent to 1 of 2 cousins of my dad that are still living (the oldest is 99 and the other is maybe 91-92); I've been trying to mail them a holiday or seasonal card every 4-6 weeks to help cheer them on.
and
inside view:
how: cardstocks/papers = solid green + spring plant print CS + white index card
scissors = to cut all CS/paper after measured + to cut cording
1. pastel green CS (is not quite half of a full sheet) = Colorbok pastel CS pad
2. spring plant print CS panel cut to about 3.75" x 3" = Breathe & Bloom-07 by P13; made in Poland, 2025; acquired through Office Supply website
3. Walnut/brown mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn
4. yellow cording = Crafter's Square (sold in 3 color set)
5. the partial notecard = Jot
6. the green print washi tape = Farmstead Harvest washi tape set by American Crafts
