Pin Like a Pro — BoardBooster Tutorial
Update: BoardBooster is no longer available to use for pinning. When it went off the market, I decided to try manual pinning like the good old days. And it has been awesome!

Illustrate a To-Do List (For Your Creative Life)
This week we’re going to create a to-do list for our creative lives. This works well for fighting creative slumps, if you’re trying to build more creative time in your life, or if you’re trying to form a new better-for-you habit. Personally, I decided I wanted to cut back on sweets so I chose to…

Pin Like a Pro – Mini Course
I don’t usually write about the business side of blogging here on Little Girl Designs but I do get questions about what methods I’ve used to grow this blog. Since Pinterest has been very helpful for me to get the word out about my blog and products, I thought I’d start a series called Pin…

Let’s take some time this week to organize a bit so we can really play with our creative stuff this year—instead of being overwhelmed by it!

My Bullet Journal Update
I started a bullet journal several years ago (my own super easy version, that is), and this is one of the ways I have set it up in the past. I love the flexibility of bullet journaling! On a whim last year, I pulled out a composition book and started using it as a bullet…

This year I’m going to learn to draw by practicing regularly every week. Want to join me? At the end of last year, I took some time to really review the year and think through goals for the next year. I’ve done this process before, but this year was a bit different as I went…

Give Your Art Away
Hello! Our prompt this week is to give your art away. It’s great to make things for yourself. And it’s fine to sell them too. (Of course, I support creative businesses since I am one!) That said, there’s also a place to give your art away. No strings attached. No guilt or expectations involved. Just…
