August *Spoilers
Theme reveal:
“Apples & Ink”
Wander through the woods to the old “Forest Study”. Unlock the door with your special key and enter a world of curiosity and slowing down to pay attention and learn. A place full of old books, curious collections, feathers tucked between pages, and the quiet feeling that there's always one more wonderful thing waiting to be discovered. Think elevated “back to school” vibes from a bygone era & permission to slow down & notice. Plaid, Crows, and you guessed it: apples and ink.
Click play on the audio below to hear the behind the scenes inspiration for this kit.
Bonus Prompts:
🌿NOTICE:
1. Find five beautiful things you would have walked past a year ago.
2. Spend ten quiet minutes looking out a single window. What changes?
3. Follow a crow with your eyes until it disappears.
4. Find something old. Imagine the stories it could tell.
5. Collect three words that deserve to be used more often.
6. Pick up something from the ground that catches your eye. Why this and not the hundred things around it?
✒️ CREATE
1. Make a collage using only scraps smaller than your thumb.
2. Use the black-and-white die cuts to create your own cabinet of curiosities.
3. Tear instead of cutting.
4. Let one ink splatter decide where your page begins.
5. Make something that doesn't match your usual style.
6. Leave one tiny secret on your page for your future self to discover.

The Feather
