Setting Up My 2025 Hobonichi Cousin Creative Journal

Hello, sweet friend! ❤

Love the new intro graphic!

So pretty! I love the fabric cover. Do you have a cutting machine? I’m always impressed by your sticker albums. I can’t even seem to get things printed out. 😅 I’m taking notes from you because I would love to be more ready. Also love the cat “post-it!”

that fabric cover is soo cool!! what kind of glue do you use?

In love with how you decorated your Hobonichi!! Also will you consider selling your prints as stickers in the future?

The fabric covered cover looks great! Wow… now I’m thinking I might use fabric too. I’m so indecisive 🤦‍♀️

that sticker collage you did framing the page was gorgeous! i always love the color palettes you choose for your setups.

I love the fabric cover! What sticker book are you using? It must be so useful to have some pre-cut PET tape stickers for daily journaling!

so cute

hey maike! love your videos as usual! I love the fabric cover! Would be lovely to see a tutorial on how to do that!

Oh my gosh, the little cluster you have as your books header is so unbelievably cute! ❤ And I was (quite vigorously) urging you to use the cat in the chair and put her in the bottom corner, so I was glad to see that you "heard" me. 😂 Such a gorgeous book!

Please tell me you have a tutorial on how to do the fabric cover! Im not a fan of the yellow and actually have favric I need to use!!

what a calming video! i love the fabric you used to cover your journal and the animation at the start was very sweet. the sticker wreath turned out beautifully and i also loved the printed tracing paper 🤩 that was a great idea!

Please consider doing a video on how you covered your Cousin with fabric.

I do pick a word of the year and I usually take the class One Little Word from Ali Edwards to help me keep accountable of my word. It also creates an album or journal filled with prompts around the word.

I always use double sided tape for glassine! It sticks to the wax a lot better and is less noticeable. I like your character and a flower behind MO, because I have a thing for “a staggered two” 🤣. My mom and I always end up laughing and arguing because she’s normal and likes the balanced design group of three. So now when we spot a staggered two it’s like the slug bug game lol! I typically find it to be TOO placed to have three, but I do use it when it feels right! Anyways, as usual, your style is warm, happy, and inspiring! 💓

What a lovely process video!! I wanted to share that you can use a hair dryer on a low heat to warm up the stickers and they reposition easier, if you ever need to move them around. Thank you for sharing your process!!
