There’s something magical about letting go and letting the products guide your creativity.

In this short reel, I’m sharing how I created an A5 art journal page using the beautiful vintage-style elements from the Ciao Bella Codex Junk Journal & Ephemera Book.

It’s softer than some of my usual pages but still completely me — layered with collage, aged tones, and meaningful details.

💙 Let me know if you’ve ever had a product completely shift your style!
