Whether you’re journaling from a beach towel, your desk fan’s direct path, or your kid’s blanket fort (same), I’ve got some fun ideas to help you capture the season and make your journal pages feel like summer in paper form.

Ever find yourself stuck, wondering where your next big idea is hiding? Yeah, me too. Creativity can be a total mystery sometimes, like it’s playing hide-and-seek with your brain.

Journaling should not feel like another task on your to-do list.

That’s where one-line journaling comes in! It’s a simple, low-pressure way to stay connected with your thoughts and creativity without needing pages of prose.

This season of your life is worth remembering—not just the big moments, but the little, everyday ones too. The stuff that might seem ordinary now but will feel meaningful when you look back later.

We need a creative playground where we can create without judgment and without any pressure for it to look good. A place we can experiment. Here's where the creative art journal comes in. 

Ever get excited about an idea, then immediately doubt it? You’re not alone. Self-doubt can sneak in fast and shut down creativity before it starts. Today’s affirmation is a reminder: your ideas matter.

Welcome to the latest addition to the Hamletta Studios Blog—Studio Snippets! Think of this as your exclusive look into my humble little art studio. (Ok, full disclosure-- my "studio" is really just my laptop on the move along with my zillions of notebooks falling out of my backpack, as I juggle mom life at the same time.)
