Each month, I PLAN ahead - I select a crafty capsule to use throughout the month so that when I have time to sit down and CREATE, many of the decisions are already made and I can just grab and go.

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!
