In this “Something Different | Keeping It Spicy” Art Journaling Challenge video, I’m inviting you into the year-long Keeping It Spicy journey—because I truly believe a fresh starting point is one of the easiest ways to keep your practice playful and moving. The whole idea is simple: every month in 2026 we use a new prompt (a new “starting place”) so you’re not stuck doing the same thing on repeat. It’s flexible and open-ended on purpose, so you can make it work whether you’re brand new to art journaling or you’ve been layering pages for years. I also share how you can join in with whatever you already have—use my DIY Journal Kit, grab a premade journal, or just open up the journal that’s sitting on your table right now. You’ll find the free Starting Ideas download linked, and throughout the series I’ll be mixing in art journaling process, mixed media tips, collage/junk journaling ideas, and the kind of encouragement we all need to keep showing up. If you’re craving variety, permission to experiment, and a slow creative process that still feels exciting, this challenge is for you.
