More Bible Journaling Two Ways series entries on 17 March 2026

  Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting showcases two different types of Bible journaling that I started in 2026. These forms of Bible studies have been done in the past. I'm still behind actual calendar time with the Scripture writing plan, working yet on January verses. And my chosen Word of the Year are two words that are synonyms: overcome and conquer. I've been alternating with the synonyms and Scripture containing those words. Two verses for overcome/overcometh and two for conquers/conquered/conquerors and now 1 verse for overcome.

2B. Papercraft Challenges; new on March 15; theme is joy of spring; Since I wrote my Word of the Year journal series card #5 today on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day), I chose light green tones of colored pencils for the large heart and used a green ink pen to do the title line, box highlight around 'overcome' and the page/card entry # in the bottom right corner. Green is the color for clover/shamrocks, part of the Irish flag, and is a color associated with growth/growing

My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page #32 on 16 March 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: My blog posting showcases my newest entry to my 1 year old journaling project: My Mondrian Mondays Journal Pages!! Mondrian is a famous Dutch artist known by most folks for his geometric composition paintings from the 1920s-1940s.  He also did some abstract geometric designs with nautical vibes and there are some landscapes and still lifes in his vast collection. I opted for a Monday feature and then I decided to alliterate with Mondrian coming to my thoughts. So over the past year, I've managed to get 31 completed and this page starts year 2 with #32!!

when: this blog post will be published on Monday March 16, 2026.
