In this cozy journal-with-me, I’m decorating my OURS Research Studio Journal using the Archer & Olive Kit Club theme “Reading with Friends.” This one is all about that warm, bookish vibe—perfect for layering cute ephemera, building a little scene, and letting the spread feel like a comfy reading nook on paper. I walk you through how I pull the pieces together, how I like to place my focal elements first, and then fill in with smaller details so it looks intentional but still relaxed and fun. I also share the super practical Kit Club timing notes so you don’t miss a design you love. Current subscribers are auto-billed $25 on the 1st, and you can usually see the theme a couple days before to decide if you want to cancel ahead of billing. New subscribers can hop in around the 5th at 9am CT, and that month’s design stays available until the 25th (this “Reading with Friends” kit is available until March 25, 2026). And yes—I’m using my favorite Kokuyo Gloo glue stick because it makes adhering all those layered bits feel easy and clean.
