Get Started With Creative Journaling With The Mint Gardener

Hi everyone! We’re so excited to talk about the creative journal tools we are launching on 10/26.

Together with Sarah Simon from The Mint Gardener, we have curated a unique journal for people of all levels of creative experience. Whether you are a beginner in art unsure of where to start, a creative wanting to try out new mediums, or an art professional in need of a daily practice towards artistic freedom - this journal is for you!

Alongside the journal we are launching some tools to help you get started. Let's jump into it!

 The Creative Way

The Creative Way Journal, designed by Sarah Simon, is a 8x8 guided journal filled with 10 unique artist exercises designed to encourage inspiration, challenge your creativity, and foster community. 

Archer and Olive - The Creative Way Cover

The cover of this art notebook features a stunning embossed floral design inspired by Sarah’s art on a mint vegan leather cover. Containing our regular 160gsm paper, it handles most mediums so you can relax and create with ease as you work through each exercise!

Each artistic exercise found inside takes you on a creative journey that is ideal for beginners and experienced artists alike. If you’ve been lacking inspiration, want a new perspective on creative wellness, or wish to practice mindfulness through creativity, then this art workbook is made for you.
