My PRS #7 design team projects for August 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: this posting showcases my newest design team member contribution project to Paper-Rocks-Scissors owned by online artisan blogger friend Deanne. She started PRS in February 2025 and the main theme is anything goes using paper and/or scissors. I've used 4 papers and 1 cardstock/base plus scissors were used to cut the palm tree paper, flamingo paper and flourishes paper. A circle punch was used for the gold foil paper. Scissors were also used for the dual-sided tape adhesive strips but that's all on the bottom sides and isn't showing (thank goodness!). 

when: challenge month #7 starts August 2, 2025 and stays open all month. 

what: PROJECT #1 = thinking of you card
