How to Paint Your Own Illustrated Quote

Hey friends!
If you've been around me long enough, you'll know that I LOVE + thrive on positivity - just like you :)

Inspirational quotes are all over my studio, in my planners, sprinkled throughout my lovely newsletter...anywhere I can think to put one!!

Here's a quote that has hit me hard, recently, making me aware of how much time I spend on positive vs. negative thoughts. (There's also a tutorial for you!)

I challenge YOU to speak life, self-love, joy + abundance over yourself, first thing you do, EVERY morning.

Altered Mini Composition Booklets

Today, I'm starting off with a quick tutorial to how to make your own altered, mini booklets.
If you are like me, you feel that the design on those school composition books are just too plain Jane...not your style, at all.

Seriously, what is that faux-leopard-polka-dot-design called anyway?? Anyone?

I'm gonna show you how to jazz those babies up with some beautiful gelli prints + luscious colors. Follow me on the Helmar blog to see the full tutorial!
