Do you go to sleep with making on your mind?!
I swear that creating is on my mind day and night. It’s what keeps me going. It feeds my soul. It calms me. It drives me.
And how about this… making beautiful watercolor paintings with my Garden Chronicles Magicals from @lindysgang and one of the stamps from the Fine Ferns Stamp Set from @ardencreativestudio
Finished off with a stamp from the Everyday Notes Stamp Set from @ardencreativestudio It anchored the piece and finished it off perfectly
Simple as that!

And I wanted to give it a try in my @ardencreativestudio journal!
Super simple and a fun way to mix up your journal. I used the Hidden Creek PET Tape along with some of the butterfly lasers from the Field Notes Collection [both from @ardencreativestudio ] and I backed it with clear cellophane tape

![Creative time ✅ #mixedmediajournal #artjournal #watercolorjournal
Ten minutes, I said. Twenty minutes later, I was still going — and honestly, worth it.
A little stamping with archival ink, a sprinkle of @lindysgang Garden Chronicles Magicals for a magical painted background, then layered @ardencreativestudio Garden Chronicles Rubons and a sentiment from the Garden Chronicles Sticker Book.
Simple as that.

![Creative journaling with PET tape and rubons #bujo #junkjournal #journaling #journal #creativity
PET tape is doing 90% of the work here and Im not sorry about it.
I laid down a few strips of @ardencreativestudio Ledger PET tape right and some filmstrip PET right over that, and just like that — instant dimension, that soft frosted-glass look, zero extra steps. A few rubons later and it all came together. Its the kind of shortcut that feels like cheating but is actually just... good supplies doing their job.
Junk journalers, you already know this combo builds texture fast. Bullet journalers — this is your sign that a decorated spread doesnt have to mean an hour of drawing. Rubon, tape, done.
Go raid your stash — I promise the tape is worth digging for.

![Don’t just stop at one layer! Mixed media art journaling process #mixedmediajournal #artjournal
Most people stop after the first layer... and thats exactly why they miss the magic.
The real transformation happens when you keep building.
For this art journal page, I layered inks, rub-ons, and ephemera from the Garden Chronicles Collection designed for @ardencreativestudio until every detail worked together. The result is bright, textured, colorful, and full of little surprises.
Sometimes the best pages arent planned—theyre discovered one layer at a time.
Simple as that!
