In this video, I'm showing you some illustrated journal pages I've been testing out, decorating December in my new Midori 1D1P journal, and playing around with ink-filled markers. We'll talk about the gorgeous Point of View journal layout I've been experimenting with (two days per page with those perfect little frames for drawing daily moments), get my 2026 Midori ready with some Cat Collage Club stickers, and I'll show you how fountain pen inks look when you fill empty markers with them – including my newest addition, Sailor Ink Studio 273. Whether you're journaling along with me or just here for the company while you create, I'm so glad you're here.

About This Video

In this video I’m doing three of my favorite things: testing an illustrated journaling layout, cozy-setting up December in my Midori 1D1P, and playing with ink-filled markers. First I share the “Point of View” style pages I’ve been experimenting with—two days per page, with these perfectly sized little frames that basically beg you to draw tiny daily moments. If you like documenting life in small, doable bites (without needing a whole art project every day), this layout is such a sweet spot. Then I move into my December setup in my new Midori 1D1P and start getting my 2026 Midori ready too—of course with Cat Collage Club stickers because I can’t resist a good cat moment. I talk through how I decorate, what I’m aiming for in a weekly spread, and how I keep things functional while still feeling warm and illustrated. Finally, I swatch and test fountain pen inks inside empty markers, including my newest love, Sailor Ink Studio 273. It’s a really satisfying way to get big, juicy color down fast—plus it’s just fun to see your inks behave in a totally different format.
