Are you feeling overwhelmed ?

Does the World Feel Overwhelming Right Now? Guess What… It Is. ❤️

Does the world just seem pretty overwhelming today?

Guess what? It is.

There’s so much going on in the world, and then you add the stress of everyday life—work, family, responsibilities, errands, and all the little things that seem to pile up. Sometimes you just need to step away from all of it for a little while.

For me, that means creating.

So I decided to start working in my art journal one page a day.

And I’m keeping the goal really simple:

Have fun. Make something. That’s it.

Each little page is only about 4 x 6 inches, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. I don’t have to spend hours creating some masterpiece. I just sit down, look at the supplies scattered all over my desk (LOL!), and start playing.

And believe me, I have supplies! 😂

I love art supplies. I love trying new things. I love seeing what happens when you combine different mediums and techniques.

One day it might be colored pencils. Another day I might reach for acrylic markers, Copic markers, or watercolor. Sometimes I’ll layer things together just to see what happens.

And, of course, there are stamps!

I’m a paper crafter, after all. ❤️

I use stamps from all kinds of different companies, and I’m always discovering new ones that I absolutely fall in love with. I thought it would be fun to share some of the stamps and supplies I’m currently loving as I work through these little journal pages.

The best part about this project is that there are no rules.

I’m not trying to create something perfect.

I’m not trying to make every page Pinterest-worthy.

I’m simply giving myself permission to sit down, play with my supplies, and create something just because it makes me happy.

And honestly? I think we all need a little more of that.

Just Start Creating 🎨

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just stuck in the everyday routine, I want to encourage you to find something creative that makes you happy.

You don’t have to be an artist.

You don’t need expensive supplies.

You don’t need a fancy studio.

You don’t even need a lot of time.

Grab a piece of paper, a coloring book, some paint, a pencil, some stickers—whatever you have—and just start creating.

Give yourself 10 or 15 minutes where you don’t have to think about everything else.

Make a mess.

Try something new.

Make something ugly!

Make something beautiful!

Most importantly, have fun.

I truly believe that making art is good for us. It gives our brains a little break from all the noise and gives us something positive to focus on.

So I’m taking my own advice and creating one little page at a time.

I hope you’ll follow along with me and enjoy seeing what I come up with!

And if you’d like to watch me create these pages, come follow me on YouTube. I’d love to have you there!

Now go grab those art supplies you’ve been saving and START CREATING! ❤️🎨
