Happy Sunday!
It’s a cold and damp here in Central Ontario this morning. It’s the perfect day to start Shaun’s cyclocross season. But it’s not so peaceful for others, and my heart and thoughts are with our community members on Canada’s East Coast who were hit by Hurricane Fiona last night.
It was a busy week this week in our content creating world. Here’s what I have in this week’s roundup…
Workshop on Wednesday!
I downloaded everything from the Year of Journaling package yesterday to start playing with and planning out the workshop.
I’m doing a live workshop next week sharing how I plan to use the whole package. It started as a bonus for the people who bought the bundle with my link, but I’ve decided to open it up to everyone who’s interested for the nominal fee of $27.
Note: The Year of Journaling content is NOT included in the workshop. If you don’t have it already, you can get that here – Year of Journaling for Personal Growth
The Votes are In
I asked the members of Coloring Patterns Monthly what they wanted for their members only coloring pack this month, and the winner is Zen-Style Fall Coloring Pages. Those will be ready for sale later today, and you have to be a monthly member in order to purchase.
There was also a lot of support for the idea of a monthly challenge, so I’ll be adding that as a Member’s Perk too in the coming days.
Plus our Live Q and A call is Wednesday, October 5. I’ll be answering questions, brainstorming some more ideas for using the patterns, and I’ve come up with a couple of new ways to use Repper that I’ll be sharing.

Creating Coloring Pages in Affinity Designer
The Creating a Coloring Book with Affinity Designer course from my friend Kerie Hinchliffe is a good one for you if you’re wanting to create your own images for your coloring books. I’ve gotten through the first module where she goes through where to find images, and what file types to look for. I’ve also got through pieces of the second module where she talks about the parts of Affinity Designer we’ll be using in the rest of the course. I really like how clearly Kerie explains everything and even though I’ve used Designer for a few things, I’m learning a lot in this course that’s going to help me with publishing my own coloring books down the road.

Bundles Extended to Monday, Noon!
There’s one thing I’ve learned since I participated in, and then hosted my own, bundle sales is that you can’t underestimate the power of a good collaboration. The Meet the Content Creators V2 is a really good example of that.
