I was kindly sent one of the pre-made journals created by @NinaFickettDesigns for her Keep-It-Spicy journal challenge for 2026. You can learn more about this challenge from Nina. But, basically, there are monthly prompts/inspirations. This month, we were to draw inspiration by starting with an art supply we haven’t used in a while. I couldn’t pick just one, and I let myself play with one of the supplies in a few ways.
