Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S and I own 13 crafting challenge blogs! Otherwise I'm a wife, sister, daughter, cousin, niece, aunt & great-aunt, classmate, friend, honorary grandmother, etc. The best one for 6 years now is being the pet mom for Mister Bennett! We rescued Mr. B. when he was about 10 years old. We just found out a few days ago that his dog mom, Trixie had passed. That was sad to hear. We were told that she was only 1-2 years older and was from her 2nd or 3rd litter!
why: One of my 13 crafting challenge blogs is HQFSCAT or Heart's Quest for Shaped Cards and Tags. It's an anything goes theme for those formats and the only shape not allowed is a standard rectangle. Altered variations are allowed.
when: HQFSCAT #19 starts on August 2, 2026 and ends on September 20, 2026.
what: Project #1: hexagon-shaped card
1. kraft cardstock folded then measured and cut (additional 1/4" on each bottom edge that have been folded for tabs to help card stand) = Colorbok
2. yellow paper (from multicolor paper pack) = Colorbok (fussy/decorative cut)
3. zig-zag decorative scissors = Wescott
4. alphabet stencil ruler = for sentiment = very old product found at my mom's house during the past 1-2 years...just had to bring it to my home! Estimating that it and others are 40-50 years old!
5. blue, brown, bright pink and green markers = Jot
6. washi tape in two tones = not sure/either Crafter's Square or Pen + Gear
7. layered die-cut printed cardstock stick-ons/stickers = old Crafter's Square

***Pin-spirational's August 1st challenge theme is the color combo of Jade and Peach. So my shaped tag would fit there. I'm a DT member so I can't share but my readers can make note to check it out.
