D: Drawing

My friend Bail Ansari – founder of Just One More Project – and I did the CUTEST collaboration.

She used my gingerbread family drawings from our Happy Creators Collective tutorial, and created adorable keepsakes you can actually hold in your hands. Or add to your Christmas tree 😊🎄.

That's what I call real "multimedia", haha.

From idea > to drawing > to little ornaments 🥰

(I've also designed some fabric with these cuties!)

To learn how to draw your own version of these gingerbread cuties, join us at the Happy Creators Collective and get instant access to our entire tutorial library!

R: Resource

This week, I've been playing around with glitter textures for a project ✨

Here is a little sneak peek 👇, hehe.

I found some excellent (and completely free!) glitter textures at Unsplash.

If you haven't head of Unsplash, it's an awesome resources for quality royalty-free images!

​Here is gold glitter on Unsplash for any of your sparkly projects 🤩.

A: Affirmation

I've faced with more decisions to make in the past few weeks than in the past few years 😅.

I am talking about... BIG decisions.

The kind that affect years to come.

Do I take the safe route?
Do I take the bold route?

I WANT to go for the bold... but what if I don't have what it takes?

In my heart, I KNOW that I've got this. Yet my mind worries.

So this metaphor 👇 has been my affirmation this week:

W: Wonder

I already had 3 friends ask me, "Have you planned out your 2026?"

(Spoiler: yes, but veeery loosely 😆)

My plan is to simplify, focus, and... publish a weekly YouTube video 😁.

I am thinking more about what I will STOP doing next year, than what to add into the mix.

So here is this week's question to wonder about:

Have a beautiful week! ❤️

Warm regards,
Tatyana
