Love Me Do theme challenge starting at MTTC blog

Welcome! I'm Becca S of Becca's Heart for Creativity and today's blog post features a design team commitment for My Time To Craft challenge blog. For the next fortnight, the theme is focused on love, so we are looking for Valentine's or wedding occasion paper-crafted creations.

My "Love Me Do" card=

February 7th-20th, 2020 is the timeframe for this particular challenge. So use the blog link to get all the details at MTTC's posting. Plus check out what the rest of the design team crew has crafted to help inspire you with this theme.

My husband and I recently celebrated our #24th anniversary and I started singing snippets of various songs that use the word love. He thought I was being too corny. But I was trying to insert a bit of romance to my un-romantic hubby...tee-hee!..."love me tender, love me true"..."love is a many splendid thing"...(or is it splendored?)…"truly, hopelessly in love with you"....

I'm not sure why the bottom heart is dark when it's a lavender foil. See the 2nd photo from the top for the more realistic colors of both foil hearts. "& me" is written on the bottom heart.

Masculine Theme February 2020 Challenge at APTS blog

Greetings from the USA heartland and Becca's Heart for Creativity!

For this inspirational card for my resident designer commitment with A Place To Start challenge blog is a masculine birthday card that will be sent to either my oldest nephew or nephew-in-law who both have upcoming February birthdays. Since it has a travel theme I will probably send it to the N-I-L, who enjoys vacationing on his off-time (an ER doc).

Didn't these elements come together to make an interesting guy's birthday card?!!?!!! The ship image was an insert of a frame about traveling, but due to the base dimension of 5"x 7", the frame couldn't be used but this perfect insert could be by itself. It's propped up a bit with foam squares. This ship oval was stamped (from Hampton Arts) and edge inked. Brenda Walton's Around the World Frame & Journaling Pad (2011) including acetate designs is available by K & Company. A few weeks ago, one of my sweet fellow church members & a very crafty gal herself gifted this to me, so I'm excited to start using a blessing!

February 2020's masculine theme challenge for APTS blog starts Monday, February 3rd=

more pics:

another vendor credit to Martha Stewart Crafts for the "Happy Birthday" ribbon; it's been in my stash for several years. This is my 2nd card in 4 days that I've used it so there's not much left on the spool. (Another good feeling when you can finish up a product that's been buried in amongst other ribbons and cording within larger stockpile!) :)

Anything Goes Theme for 1 Feb 2020 at TCCC Blog

Welcome to my blog, Becca's Heart for Creativity! This blog post features my birthday design team card project for The Crafter's Café Challenge Blog. For the next fortnight the theme of the challenge is anything goes. There are 2 prize sponsors SheepSki Designs and Twistoon, which my Suitcases image is from Twistoon.

(The skin color of the girl was colored with a light brown so I don't know what happened with the scanning to cause it to look gray....bizarre.)

To see the other Twistoon images used by DT crew or the ones from SheepSki you will need to use the TCCC blog link that will be posted a few lines below.
