Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity, a personal crafting blog!
who: I'm Becca S, a mish-mesh merger of old and new stash products using her mostly artsy-craftsy approach to papercrafting and hybrids with digital elements. I'm a wife, a dog-parent, sister, aunt, great aunt, honorary grandmother, former teacher and passionate blogger.
where: this is a non-design team project
when: Monday, April 13, 2026
why: It's Mondrian Monday!! I started this journaling notebook with famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian serving as my muse for geometric designs. That was 13 months ago and I'm now on my 35th notebook entry! Go to the bottom of the post to see some cropped painting photos of Piet Mondrian's paintings.
what: MMMJP #35 = reddish brown, reddish purples to blue purple to navy blues to a light blue plus gray-filled, black-filled and some areas left blank/white spaces
how:
1. journaling notebook; 80 sheets of peach grid/graph lines = bought at Dollar General store
2. brown and gray retractable marker pens; non-smudge = Zebra Clickart; brown was used for the circles and gray for the squares perimeters
3. mechanical pencil, dual-side tape roll for the large circles stenciling shapes and a small decorative tape roll for the small circles stenciling = stash
4. square stencil template = part of a box of basic shape stencils; --- Schaeffer teacher resource learning products
5. colored pencils = Marvy Uchida/ stash box
