My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page #26 on 10 Nov 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: I'm switching my MMMJP #26 personal series posting from another personal blog that I use for the bulk of my DT commitments. MMMJP is the acronym for My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page because of a journaling notebook of geometric/partial grid-graph paper designs loosely influenced by famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. I started the notebook back in March 2025 with several Mondays that have been missed due to travel or appointments. Autumn Splendor Stained Glass Geometric Design ===> 

when: #26 created and blogged on Monday, November 10, 2025.

what: Project #1 = Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass x Piet Mondrian geometric composition ===>

how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. pencil, ruler = more stash items to help create the block design

2. notebook with elastic band closure has 80 sheets of pale peach grid/graph paper = bought at Dollar General store

3. colored pencils from stash box = variety of vendors (Crazy Art, Crayola, Marvy Uchida) = aiming for an autumn season palette

4. black fine point marker = Sharpie

ConBC #16 picked 2 bingo columns DT projects on 1 Nov 2025

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: The purpose of this posting is to share my next owner/DT inspiration projects for Christmas or not Bingo Challenges. #16 bingo board has wonderful variety from column to column. It was hard to select just 1 (since the rest of the team is always so ultra fabulous)!!! And the other DT members and Guest DTs focused on using I, N and O so I didn't want to leave out columns B or G and created one for each of those. 

when: ConBC #16 starts November 1 and ends on December 15, 2025 (then we take a 2 week break between challenges and will return on January 1, 2026)

what: Project #1 = Column B (appreciation, yellow & gold, free, weave)

how-to & vendor notes for #1 using Column B=

1. Thanksgiving/Appreciation = "so very thankful" vellum from Farmstead Harvest by American Crafts

2. yellow & gold = two little yellow enamel hearts by Fancy Pants Designs; harvest gold tones in the flowers and dotted print paper by Simple Stories from an old card kit; also metallic gold decorative tapes (unsure on the vendor; it's been in my stash for several years)

3. free = the different products like enamels, vellum, die-cut ephemera, etc. 

4. weave = strips of the gold metallic decorative tape were applied in a partial weave overlapping/some over and some under sections; (again, I'm unsure of the vendor since it's been removed from packaging and been in my washi tape collection in stash for years)

5. did not use textured paste! = I would like to try this. Haven't yet but would sometime. 

a. brown marker pen for outlining around yellow cardstock = Zebra Clickart

b. yellow cardstock panel = Pen + Gear

c. kraft cardstock base panel = Colorbok

---------------------------------------

and

what: Project #2 = column G (New Year, metallics, free, sentiment focus)

how-to & vendor notes for #2 =

21. New Year = 2026 is included in the sentiment; also the sentiment choice is motivational which lends to creating goals/resolutions

22. metallics = embossed puffy pieces are stickers from 2 different sets = Crafter's Square

23. free = brown geometric print paper is 1/4 of 12" square sheet called Dots & Lines Six by Reminisce; I liked the vertical marks and browns to go with the vertical/soaring of the hot air balloons; light gray linen paper (stash); blue copy paper (Colorbok); deckle-edge scissors (Fiskars); black ink pad for edging (Hero Arts)

24. didn't use smooshing or dabbing!

25. sentiment as focus = I created a Google Doc; font size is at 45!; due to low printer ink toner, I went over the lettering with a black Sharpie
