Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
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 by spinning a wheel of prompts. I had some hiccups with it as you’ll see in the video. Feel free to use my prompts (Stitch, Wax, Pocket, Stickers, Eco-prints, and Safety envelope) if you want.
