In this video I’m sharing my full 2026 journal & sketchbook lineup—the whole ecosystem I’m building to document my life and grow my art practice without feeling boxed in. I walk you through every notebook I’m committing to, from a big Traveler’s Notebook reset (regular and passport size) to a pocket Commonplace Journal experiment, plus a vintage scrapbooking/junk journaling journal and my updated Leuchtturm1917 wallet planner situation. Along the way I share the practical “how” behind the lineup: how I’m making it actually happen in 2026, how I set up a clean monochrome black-and-white journal when I want something simple, and how I manage to fit three inserts inside a Traveler’s Notebook without it becoming a brick. Then I show you my sketchbook lineup (because I like having options for different moods and mediums), and I finish with a very satisfying HIMI gouache unboxing—48 colours—plus a quick swatch setup so I can start painting immediately. The big takeaway: a good lineup gives you a full range of creative possibilities, and it’s easier to stay consistent when every notebook has a clear job.
