In this video, I’m creating a soft and whimsical autumn art journal spread using the beautiful Maremi’s Small Art. This collage ephemera book is filled with dreamy woodland illustrations, delicate backgrounds, and perfectly coordinated elements designed especially for art journaling.

For this spread, I selected characters, forest animals, and textured background pieces directly from the book and layered them to build a magical “Forest Whispers” composition. The rich autumn palette — warm reds, earthy browns, muted greens — makes it so easy to create a cohesive page.

In this process video, you’ll see:
• How I choose and fussy-cut elements from the book
• Building depth with soft blended backgrounds
• Combining collage ephemera with stenciling
• Creating balance in a small-format journal

If you love whimsical woodland themes and ready-to-use ephemera that sparks storytelling instantly, this book is such a beautiful addition to your craft space.

Let me know in the comments — would you create a full mini album using this collection?
