My Heart's Quest Lovable Quotables #3 anything goes quotes DT projects

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity, a personal crafting blog. 

who: I'm Becca S, aka Bexie, Rebexie, Rebecca, Aunt Becca, artisan crafter. Starting at age 6, my fine arts skills began for piano and then increased at age 10 for clarinet. Then my creative fine arts and practical home arts began at age 9 learning how to cook, bake and sew through 4-H Club. Later on, I did nature crafts, flower arranging, and other projects while being a member for 6+ years. 

where: the projects on this posting are for HQLQCB or Heart's Quest Lovable Quotables Challenges Blog.

when: April 5, 2026 starts our 3rd challenge session

why: This is my newest crafting challenge blog that I've started. I'm joined by online friend Deanne to be the inspirational design team for HQLQCB. (P.S. There is a DT CALL.) The theme will always be 'anything goes quotes'. 

what: Project #1: Quote by Benjamin Franklin; statesmen for USA thirteen colonies of Pennsylvania

 

how for Project #1:

1. specialty print paper with vintage floral design = from an old mixed scrap pack = Crafter's Square

2. royal blue paper = from multi-color paper pad = Hello Hobby/Walmart

3. light blue cardstock scrap = pastels pack by Neenah

4. vellum with phrase and quote = very old; don't remember the vendor; threw away the packaging many years ago; a bunch of these from 2 different sets have been in my stash box since about 2010!!!
