Explore the world, one post at a time
It's my brother's birthday ๐๐๐๐ฟ and the absolute best way for me to kickstart the month and my art challenge (though the "Berry" prompt is clearly done I WILL draw them all, hopefully, so I'm not counting it) We had a great day but now I'm tired and sugar high idk what to even say โจ
To most of you this doesn't look that good of a portrait at all, but I am so proud of myself I could cry! (*cries*) I do not draw people! I don't even try to because I don't want to ruin my sketchbook, knowing I can't do it! But this time I tried, and honestly I can't believe I drew it! I literally wrote that quote first, thinking this spread would be a hot mess, but instead it turned out to be the one drawing I'm most proud of! I can't! I don't think you guys even get it!
These days..., I just can't survive without having a mint every so often. It's probably safe to say I'm Barkley's number 1 super fan right now ๐๐ถ๏ธ
Happy Easter you guys! โ๏ธ๐๐๐ค๐ฐ๐ฃ I'm way too happy with these spreads and I had an AMAZING day with my family and my fiancรฉ ansjsj, it was BLISSโข
Kind of old news, but I finally put together a spread with stuff from my little trip to Oslo a while back! Also not my favourite thing but I like the blues ๐ฉต๐๐๐โต๐ ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ
I'm back from my trip and will start posting as usual from today onwards (I mean, ...hopefully) and let's just start with some spring vibes because I'm obsessed with everything spring nowadays ๐๐ฟ๐๐ธ๐๐บโ๏ธ๐๐ฑ๐ป๐
I've been so busy recently (โ โกโ ย โ ฯโ ย โ โกโ )
(And by that I only mean I bought this mini stationary bike that I can keep in my room or in my studio and work out all the time (โ สโ แดโ สโ โฟโ ) and I also went ahead and bought all the yummy snacks that I hadn't had in ageeeesss and ate them all AND burned all the calories so easily โจ I'm just so happy with my choices rn and I had to document all of it, so here are my two lovely spreads (they even smell great ๐ซ )
๐A spread about how BOTH of my engagement rings were too big for meโจ
So yeah, my promise ring has always been way too big for me, I never wore it on my ring finger, but it didn't really matter because it was just a promise ring after all. I get engaged, my engagement ring is WAY TOO BIG, I can't wear it on any finger. It was custom made so idk how they messed up that badly, but also my hands are kinda smol IG so it's alright??? My fiancรฉ wanted to resize it but both families disagreed,... traditions and superstitions and all that stuff. They did have a solution, I won't go into detail really, but I didn't like it and my fiancรฉ got me another ring. The second one was also custom made, my fiancรฉ was told there was no way it would even fit me but he insisted it needed to be that small. Good thing he did because even with that,... the ring is still TOO BIG FOR MY RING FINGER, but I guess it's fine because I can just wear it how I'd wear my promise ring. Why haven't my fingers changed for the past FIVE years....who knows ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ but yeah that's the ๐ง ig.
๐๐บโค๏ธ Valentine's day spread โค๏ธ๐บ๐
Turned out a bit chaotic but it's a happy one.
(the necklace doesn't match so I put it under the cut hahah (โ โโ โขโ แดโ โขโ โโ ))
But I LOVE IT
It's like I'm not even trying to NOT bulk up this journal anymore ๐๐ฆข๐๐ฆข๐ (but like, ...this needed to be done, I'm experimenting before I start making my actual Valentine's Day card ๐)
Mina's Enchanted Drawing Challenge
Day 31 -Banner or Card
(Just two more prompts left I'm all over the place) (prompts under the cut)
๐ช ๐ช Colourful Carnival aesthetic ๐ช๐ช
Realised I never posted this one OTL (link under the cut if you haven't watched my video yet), but also I wanted to make a separate # for all these new big collages so they don't get lost with my other journaling posts and that's gonna be: โจโจ#scrapbooking with minaโจโจ
I have been obsessing over everything colourful for the past few days, and I just couldn't help myself going for a very bold and playful spread, and an equally colourful bookmark (finally). Hope you like them!!! ๐โจ๐๐ฉทโค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐
This planner's weeklies were off (I didn't appreciate the week starting on this page, I can't use it like this!) so I've started doing a kind of "doodle a day" challenge. Which ones do you guys like best?
My favourite is definitely that very fat bird ๐ฆ
Mina's Enchanted Drawing Challenge
Day 27- Candy wreath ๐ญ๐ฌ
It's been a while!! I still have five more prompts to complete before I finish my drawing challenge & will definitely try to draw them all this weekend โจ IF anyone wants to go back to a prompt or two before I make the final collage, please feel free to ๐๐ค
(Prompts under the cut)
Vintage/ spring vibes aesthetic
This was so fun to work on and the perfect excuse to use some of my pressed flowers. Did you manage to catch it in my video? I hope it was someone's favourite (โ โโ แดโ โโ โฟโ ) because honestly, it is mine. Pity I didn't film this ๐ค๐ฉท๐น
๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐ฉท Pink fairytale aesthetic ๐ฉท๐๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ
just wanted to post a close-up of this one too before I make another video tomorrow (hopefully)

๐ง๐งโโ๏ธ๐ด๐ Aladdin/ 1001 Nights/ Oriental aesthetic spread ๐๐ด๐ง๐งโโ๏ธ
I showed this for literally seconds in my video, and I just don't want people to miss it. Not my favourite compared to the other one but still, I like it. Lmk your thoughts (โ โโ โขโ แดโ โขโ โโ )
๐๐ฐ๐๐ฉทNot to be dramatic or anything, but I posted my favourite video so far and (for once!!) everything went well with this one. ๐ฉท๐๐ฐ๐
I hope you like it as much as I do! ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Ik I said I wasn't going to do any more scrapbooking on this journal because it's already bulking up way more than the first one at this point and I'm not even halfway there, but I had all of these stickers laying around and so much bleeding to cover up and I just~ (โ ็ฌโ ยบโ โฟโ ยบโ ็ฌโ ) Last time though!!!
Update because I couldn't leave it like that!!โจ
About time I decorated this journal's cover too. Now they look so cute together! ๐ฉต๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ฉท๐
So, I don't have anything to post until I start my drawing challenge ๐tomorrow๐ but then, ..why not show you my silly little egg themed habit tracker ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ everyone out there doing fancy themes like one can't just: ๐ณ๐ฅโจ ยฏโ \โ _โ สโ โฟโ สโ _โ /โ ยฏ
Finally starting a separate Scrapbook Journal (so my daily journal doesn't bulk up too much AND because I do love an A4 for scrapbooking instead of an A5 (โ โโ แดโ โโ โฟโ ).+Turning this into a small series, perhaps? ๐๐๐โจ๐ซง๐ธ๐๐?)
๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฉท Christmas wishlist spread (maybe I'll post it again if I draw some of the things?) ๐ฉท๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๏ธ๐
I went Christmas shopping the other day already and can't think of anything else other than going again, help me!
๐ฉต๐คโ๏ธ Old map spread today. Was planning on writing my entry on the map but I really liked adding all the symbols instead (โ โโ แดโ โโ โฟโ ) โ๏ธ๐ค๐ฉต
I want to go back to some of my inktober drawings that I don't think did justice to my vision and redraw them on my new journal starting with the map from day 29.
If there's anything in particular any of you guys would like to see redrawn, let me know in the comments or wherever.
๐ฉต๐ฉทโค๏ธ๐ 2 months difference! ๐โค๏ธ๐ฉท๐ฉต
๐ฉตโค๏ธ๐๐งก๐ Some slightly older collage spreads I still love.. (โ โงโ โฝโ โฆโ ) ๐๐งก๐โค๏ธ๐ฉต
