Setting Up My July Creative Journal from Scratch // plan. create. grow.

In this video, I chat you through a few stages of my creative process: 02:45 planning my CREATIVE CAPSULE: 06:45 my STARTING POINT aka "home base" 08:22 LET THE PAGE EVOLVE / TAKE CREATIVE RISKS 14:29 LETTING MY PAGES TELL (ALL) THE STORIES: Taking time to reflect on what works / doesn't work allows for growth as a creative, and it's a step I usually cover in my planner flip through's. ✨ Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel!
