Loving some appreciation cards for my #45 HS reunion

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting is a showcase of three different thank you appreciation cards that I've made for my other planning committee members for our #45 high school class reunion!!! Crazy!! Sometimes it seems that long ago and then other days, it only feels like it's been half of that time. Now hair styles, eye glasses, clothing are all easy giveaways to the time period...1980!!! 

when: in late May 2025 it was officially 45 years ago that we graduated from a small eastern IL school district! Our reunion weekend is July 18-19, 2025. 

------------------------

what: Project #1 = one of the planning committee members is hosting us Saturday night in his deluxe machine shed!

2022 May 20 MTTC #482 Theme is Thank You

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! A terrific occasion greeting card to have available is a thank you appreciation card. That's the theme for My Time To Craft challenge blog competition #482. For my design team commitment for MTTC I have created 2 cards. Both have most of their supplies coming from the TGSB April 2022 kit that I put together Easter weekend. My planning and prep intentions were to have enough supplies to make several cards and a possible TN spread for commitments ranging in a 4-6 week span. Already this weekend I've made 5 cards!!! 

The planning and prep time for the kit took longer of course than what it typically does for 1 or 2 cards but once it got made, I've been able to get cards made quickly. Yea! Win-win!! 

MTTC's #482 starts May 20, 2022 and ends on June 2, 2022. Times for both dates are the same so figure accordingly to wherever you are in the world (6am UK or 12am Central Time USA/Chicago). 

Thank You floral with gingham card:

Design and vendor notes worth mentioning are:

A. Embellishments and pink cardstock for the sentiment strip were not in the TGSB April 2022 kit. The stamper for "thank you", floral paper scrap, the blue gingham paper was cut to fit, the ribbon, and the flat base blue cardstock were.

B. Blue gingham paper (Hot Off The Press/Paper Wishes website)

C. Papers were edged using a blue ink pad 

Green and blue geometric thank you card:

Design notes for card #2:

All items for this card were from my kit made Easter weekend for TGSB April 2022 except for the green cardstock scrap, the little planner strip sticker with the heart (the heart was white so I filled with dark blue marker and then topped with a lighter blue glitter paint pen), and the navy blue glitter decorative tape. I like the analogous color scheme of this card. 

Both cards are slimline style: 4" x 7" and each use the sentiment 'thank you' but with different stamps. Fairly simple and easy to put together with not a whole lot of fuss. I wanted the patterned papers/cardstocks to not get covered up. Now to get ready for the mail....

MTTC challenge blog DT project for 8 Jan 2021 with Thank You theme

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart has made a decision to do my best to include either heart-shape or word 'love' or 'heart' for every card I make in 2021. 2020 wasn't too overly filled with trauma and drama as compared to the previous 2-3 years prior but with all the government restrictions affecting shopping, eating out, and school attendance related to Covid-19, I believe all my friends and family need a little visual reminder that they are loved this year.

My Time to Craft (MTTC) challenge blog is starting the new year with the theme "Thank You". That's a good one following a week or so of receiving Christmas gifts. MTTC's challenges are for 2 weeks/fortnight, so #448 =January 8-21. The next fortnight challenge starts on January 22. Make sure to participate! Use the link listed below to take you to MTTC blog site and learn about guidelines for submissions and to see what the other DT members have made.

Sketch layout comparisons (refer to 2010 card photo further down in this posting)= brackets and bracketed-frames replace the decorative punching and stenciled flourishes; yellow (sunflower) paper doily holes and texture replace the decorative edging on the lavender focal paper; sentiment is in same location; 

MTTC link= http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/01/challenge-448-thank-you.html

************************************

My personal creative challenge this year is to take a card layout from 2010 or 2011 to copy-cat in 2021. This card was downloaded by me on 3/23/2010 for my sister's anniversary. I used lots of tools and techniques like decorative-edged scissors, decorative punch, stencils for heart and flourishes, date stamper, and word-processing for the sentiment:

A 2nd personal creative challenge in 2021 is to include a heart-shape and/or word(s) 'heart' or 'love' on every card I make this year. After a stressful 2020, all my friends and family need visual reminders that they are loved by me. 

My Thank You card shown up above has some little hearts made with marker and then topped with glitter paint pens.

Countdown Theme for no 159 at Scrapping 4 fun Challenges Blog

Welcome to my blog, Becca's Heart for Creativity! This post features my design team project for S4fC blog=

#159 Countdown Theme= include these 5 elements on your project

5. digital image or stamp
4. cardstock
3. gems
2. embellishments
1. ribbon or lace (I'm using washi tape, instead.)

I've created 2 different thank you cards using "Air Fairy" from Fabrika Fantasy:

Above: card 1 has all five elements: digi image, pink cardstock and white CS, little white pearl gems on the white butterflies, additional butterflies and pink glitter hearts, and a strip of washi tape through the middle separating the 2 patterned papers.

Below: card 2 has 4 of the 5 elements; this one is missing the gems; I thought it didn't need any additional fussiness since the image has lots of lines and curves as do the patterned papers, foil butterflies, and washi tape strips.

Get all the details @ S4fC blog link= https://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/2020/01/challenge-159-count-down-challenge.html

Winter or Spring Theme for no 158 at Scrapping 4 fun Challenge Blog

Since I've selected a winter digital image from prize sponsor Bugaboo to feature, it is obvious that I'm using the winter theme option! #158 is the next fortnight challenge for S4fC blog. My card utilizes a Christmas gift (blue snowflake computer stationery) and a trimmed down panel from a Hallmark Expressions (tm) notecard.

It's a cutie:

Isn't this digital image just the sweetest?!!?!!! I've used a white paint pen to outline the outside edge as well as highlight the centers of the snowflakes on the stationery paper, the penguins, the little snow piles, and add some tiny snow dots in the 'air'. A silver glitter paint pen was used on the highlight areas of the ornaments and for the snowflakes that were part of the image. A gold paint pen was used to accent some parts of the owl, the penguin's beak, the girl's bangs and freckles!

And I used the white paint pen to partially outline the 'thanks' cardstock section.

With requesting to use all of the digital images of DDD's Holiday Hoopla Ribbons and Laces, it was nigh on impossible to keep to our CAS theme for this new fortnight challenge!!!!

Happy Autumn Thanksgiving Card for 2019

About a month ago, I started making this Thanksgiving card with the base, background and copper trim. And then life took over and the unfinished card just kept laying to the side of my dining table (aka craft table).

The wooden pumpkin came painted with orange, so I decided to use red-orange marker to color in the natural wood maple leaves. Gold metallic paint pen was used to write "happy" and "autumn". A white paint pen was used to add a charming face to the pumpkin. Voila!

Inside sentiment states "Enjoy the autumn season!"
