If you have trouble starting art journal pages, you procrastinate because you’re afraid of messing up, or you don’t have a very active imagination, keep scrolling…

Let’s get real for a second.

If I were a fly on the wall in your home would I see:

Torn pages in the paper basket?

An open art journal with unfinished pages, or a brand new empty art journal...just waiting there while YouTube tutorials are on binge watching?

A watercolor set that you’d been dying to get but still...you haven’t used it?

A bunch of gorgeous magazine cut-outs piled up (and you’ve even fussy-cut them), however, your glue from last year still has safety cap on?

You sitting in your art corner, with a brush in one hand, mobile phone in the other scrolling through Pinterest like crazy while it’s obvious that brush ain’t going to work today?

I know you don’t want it to be this way. No creative ever does. But I'm a 100% sure you can do this. You've got all it takes, and I believe...

...You need guidance.

You see, when it comes to creative work, initial blocks are common and there isn’t a single creative that’s always inspired and ready to go. That person doesn’t exist.

These blocks are especially hard for beginners because they’re often afraid of messing up, they don’t have the experience. They need guidance.

That’s why you need a simple approach that won’t overwhelm you but give you guidelines on how to get started, how to compose your page, how to choose colors to make it all compelling and interesting.

You need something tangible to push you to take that brush to work already, use those fussy-cut images, and finally buy a new glue stick because you’ve used it all up.

INTRODUCING

Bucket of Inspiration Printables and Templates

An inspirational set of unique printables, mood boards and already done-for-you templates to guide your creative process, even if you still have “My page is never going to be that perfect” doubts hovering over you.

If you’ve been told to “just start”, “just splash some paint”, just “glue an image”, I can understand your frustration. When you’re beginning and somebody tells you to just start...I mean, what the heck. Right?

The Bucket of Inspiration goes beyond that. Instead of telling you to just start, it helps you figure out where to start, what next step to make in a simple, straightforward way using visual templates and ideas to boost your creativity.

This is a digital product.

Sound good, but...I’m not a skillful artist

Well, in that case...neither am I. No Picasso here, trust me. You don’t need any special skills to use this set and create gorgeous pages. You also don’t need a bunch of supplies. It’s designed so you wouldn’t be overwhelmed but inspired. 


If you keep on waiting for your skills to just show up one day, they won’t. You need to make art and make art and again...make art to develop those skills. So, forget about having the right skills. Anybody with any desire to make something creative can follow this book without any problems.

But there are so many free printables online, why do I need this?

The printables in this set are all unique,taken from my own drawings, paintings, and photographs. So, you won’t find them anywhere else. 


Moreover, it’s not just printables. The Bucket of Inspiration is more valuable for its templates and layouts that guide you through an art journal page process so you can make them easily, quickly and without any overwhelm.

When I use all the templates, what then? Will all my pages look the same?

Nope. You see, having a template helps you start your first steps, give you ideas. But you can always skip a step, add something on your own, and experiment with mixing and matching all the ideas. Every time you use a different element and a different color, or add something new, your pages become different and you can develop a style this way.

What if I don’t have a printer at home?

You don’t need to print out the whole book. You can only print the pages with printables. If you don’t have a printer, you can always ask a friend or take the book to the printer shop or a photo print shop. I’m sure most of them have this service. I do this all the time because I also don’t have a printer (true story).


Tip: print on a laser printer so your images won’t smudge when you use them with wet media.

Do I need many art supplies to use this set?

Nope. Just the basic ones like watercolor, acrylic paint, glue, pens, markers, and perhaps a stamp. If it happens that you don’t have a certain paint or a tool, just replace it with something else (eg. use acrylic paint instead of watercolors).

Will I get this in my mail?

No. This is a digital product (a pdf file) and once you purchase, you'll be able to download it right away to your computer.

If I don't like it, can I get a refund?

Due to the nature of digital products, this is non/refundable. All sales are final.

Slap that button below and let’s get you started using all those new supplies, forget the blank page terror and finally feel the joy of completing an art journal (so you can get a new one - yes, yes…) 

This is a digital product.
