A Seasonal Guided Journal
for Your Creative Life

Can a journal change your life?
This one can!

The Studio Yearbook is a magical fill-in-the-blank journal that has helped thousands of people bring their creativity to life.

Season after season, creatives pour their hearts into their yearbook and discover themselves within its pages. They wake up to the magic of their everyday life. They name and claim their deepest priorities and start living in alignment with their hearts. They find inspiration, deepen their wisdom and learn to more fully express themselves as artists. Along the way, their Studio Yearbook becomes a deeply personal and precious reflection of their artistic soul.

The Studio Yearbook

a creative practice studio in a journal

The Studio Yearbook is a transformational creative practice in the form of a guided seasonal journal.

Practice is the heart of a creative life. It starts us on our journey and it accompanies us on every adventure. No matter where we are in our artistic unfolding, practice is our mainstay.

Creative practice is our way to…

  • find inspiration

  • strengthen our voice

  • develop our gifts

  • hear our intuition

  • gather our insight

  • discover our passions

  • open the creative flow

  • build trust in ourselves and with our art

  • forge our own path

So many things trigger friction with creative practice: not knowing where to start, not knowing what to do, being overwhelmed and working through all manner of resistance.

The guided approach of the Studio Yearbook helps you wend your way through these obstacles. With its fill-in-the-blank format, you know where to start and what to do. That structure is there to support you but not to limit you. The unofficial motto of the Studio Yearbook is, “Make it your own.”

As you fill your pages with your loves and inspirations, your dreams and celebrations, the art in your heart and the magic in your everyday, you will come to understand in concrete terms more about yourself and what you love. And when you complete your season, your Studio Yearbook will be there to remind you of who you are, providing vivid and personal proof of your deepening relationship to your creative life.

Let me show you the way...

I’m Jamie Ridler, the creator of the Studio Yearbook
and the founder of The School of Creative Magic.

For almost 20 years I have been coaching aspiring, emerging and established artists, and I have been creator all my life.

In the Studio Yearbook I share with you the exact creative practices that have nourished me and my students for decades.

Your Studio Yearbook Practices

The Studio Yearbook brings together powerful and proven creative practices that will awaken your artistic spirit. Day by day, this journal will guide you to a more inspired, aligned and vibrant artistic life.

In your Studio Yearbook, you will…

Capture Your Days: Open your awareness to the magic of everyday life by paying attention to the details of your days. The big, the small, the mundane, the beautiful – all of it has a home in your Studio Yearbook. A few sentences in this seasonal journal and you can hold onto precious memories of your life that you will treasure for years to come.

Gather Inspiration:  Having a fun and fertile inspiration practice can fuel your creative fire! Your yearbook supports you in strengthening your inspiration radar daily and gives you a home for all you discover. Stuck for an idea? Flip through your pages and revisit your collection! Over time, your Studio Yearbook becomes a rich and personal creative resource!

Create with Focus: When you align your life with your true desires, everything changes for the better. In your Studio Yearbook, you will discover the magic of working with Focus Areas. You will identify what matters most and then gently start planning your life around that! (Be prepared: this is a game-changer!)

Dream: Under the power and blessing of each full moon, you will call in your dreams. Intuition will be your guide as you create a monthly dreamboard in your Studio Yearbook, a dreamboard that expresses the deep desires of your creative soul.  With this as your true north, the path ahead becomes clear, making it easy to set priorities, make decisions and set about creating your heart’s desire.

Practice Gratitude: Lift your spirit each day with a moment of gratitude. This simple practice is a proven way to shift your energy as well as your perspective. Let this beloved ritual remind you of all that you hold dear.

Celebrate You: Life may not always give us the kudos we desire and deserve but we can learn to do this for ourselves. Acknowledging ourselves and celebrating our personal markers of success is motivating and fosters a sense of self-appreciation. Give yourself gold stars and honour all that you pour into your life and into your work.

Lifelong Learning: A creative life is one rich with growth and reflection. Your Studio Yearbook reminds you to draw the lessons out of each day and hold them close to your heart.  As you develop a practice of gathering your insights and learnings, they will grow deeper and stronger, eventually becoming a strong foundation of your personal wisdom.

Find Your Voice: Each Studio Yearbook starts out as the same fill-in-the-blank black and white journal. As you fill your yearbook with what’s in your heart, as you brave following your own instincts and truly making it your own, you will see yourself reflected in those pages. You will see your colours, your words, your choices, your dreams, your preferences and your desires. You will see that your Studio Yearbook could have been created by no one but you and you will know that the same is true of your creative work and your creative life.

Treasure Your Memories: At the end of the season, you’ll look back through your Studio Yearbook and be amazed by how it has captured this time of your life. Bit by bit, you will see that it has become a unique expression of you and of this moment in time. In years to come, you and your loved ones (if you choose to share) will look back on your Studio Yearbook and see an irreplaceable vision of you.

As artistic souls, we have a particular gift for partnering with that creative energy in order to bring ideas into being. Tap into this creative superpower with the Studio Yearbook.

Unfurl the magic that lives in your creative heart so that you can bring your inspirations, dreams and imaginings to life.

And I promise you, as you dance with that creative magic, you will come alive too!

It is so exciting to start something new – but it can be intimidating too. Sometimes we don’t know where to start or what to do!
