My planner system stopped working for me — so it was time for a change. 😊

In this video, I’m making my new Life Journal from scratch, step by step — from turning a simple paper bag into a fabric-covered journal, to creating and sewing the signatures, adding my new Studio Collection papers and finally starting to fill it with pieces of my life.

Less structure, fewer rules and a lot more freedom. ❤️
