My Heart's Quest Challenge #82 DT awahg theme + opt of gold heart projects

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: this posting showcases the newest design team projects for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #82. Back in December 2025, the main theme was switched to 'anything with a heart goes' and then color-specific heart(s) for the option. For AWAHG my choice was pairing a small puffy heart sticker with an old mini card image plus scrap cuts of cardstock (#1). And then I did a last minute (60-90 minutes before launch) to do the little pretty tag that I included a green heart gem that reinforces the text sticker that says "I ADORE you".  

For the heart color options, I decided to just focus on gold (gold glitter applied to wood die-cut/lasered heart) and have a yellow dominant spring card.  

when: #82 opens on January 28, 2026 and stays open until February 27, 2026. 

what: Project #1: AWAHG = little pale pink puffy heart sticker paired with 'love anchors the soul' mini card

how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. white CS base = Crafter's Square (from a A2 size pack)

2. teal blue CS scrap cut = Recollections

3. pale gray CS = Colorbok (scrap cut)

4. 'love anchors the soul' mini card = from a cut-a-part type designer sheet; this is OLD; maybe Webster's Pages 

5. magenta pink marker = stash box

6. pale pink puffy heart sticker = I think it's Freckled Fawn; could be Recollections

7. gray and white washi tape = one of the set/pack from Farmstead Harvest collection by American Crafts

where #1 will be linked:

1A. Word Art Wednesday; new on Jan 21; anything goes that is family-friendly and not contrary to the Bible; on project #1 the mini card's text varies from what I remember as 'hope anchors the soul';

1B. Word Power; open for 1 more day; theme is power/focus on words/text; all three projects have text but I've selected the 'love anchors the soul' mini card because it also has a large anchor image that to me is like it's a duplicate for the word 'anchor'. Also keeping embellishments only to the little puffy heart, the focus stays on that mini card
