Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys
Happy Sunday! We're officially in the heart of summer — and I've been thinking about something.
Is there a creative tool you've been meaning to learn? Maybe it's Cricut. Maybe it's Canva, Procreate, or a technique you've seen someone use and thought, "I'd love to try that someday."
Summer is the perfect time to finally make that happen. So this week I'm sharing a simple plan to help you do it — plus a free event coming in July that was built for exactly this. 🎉
THIS WEEK'S CREATIVE READ
How to Actually Use Summer to Learn a New Creative Skill (Without It Feeling Like Homework)
Summer has this wonderful quality of feeling more spacious — and it's one of the best times to finally pick up that creative skill you've been putting off. But there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it. The wrong way? Treating it like a course you have to finish. The right way? Making it feel like play.
In this week's post, I'm sharing a simple 5-step plan for making real creative progress this summer — whether you want to finally figure out Cricut, explore Procreate, or get comfortable in Canva — without the pressure or the overwhelm.
💡 Learning a new creative skill doesn't have to feel like homework. The secret is starting small, staying curious, and giving yourself permission to just play.
📅 July 21–23, 2026 | 💻 100% Virtual | 🎟 Free to Attend
Remember that tool you've been meaning to try? This is the event for it. The Creative Tech Summer Retreat is three days of hands-on workshops to help makers like you get comfortable with the modern tools that take your projects further — taught by people who use them every single day.
23 expert makers. 3 themed days. Sessions released fresh each morning — so you can watch, pause, and create on your own schedule:
Day 1 — Digital Design & Drawing. Procreate, Illustrator & Canva: stickers, patterns, brushes, invitations.
Day 2 — Cricut, Cutting Machines & Paper Crafts. Vinyl, card making, layered designs, personalization.
Day 3 — Sell, Scale & AI Tools. Turn your creativity into income with AI and sellable digital products.
No credit card needed · Instant confirmation email
This is your sign to finally try the thing. Read the post, then come play with us in July — I'd love to see what you make. ☀️
Warmly, Destini
