They say everything is created twice—first in the mind, and then in reality.
This couldn’t be truer for the latest project that blossomed in my little creative world at Craftlogically Me—a customized resin art sketchbook that’s now etched forever in my heart. What started as a simple resin diary evolved into a full-blown celebration of love, creativity, and childhood dreams. I call it a heartfelt journey where resin met imagination, stickers met joy, and creativity met purpose.
Let me take you through this magical experience.
When Craft Meets Heart: The Story Behind the Sketchbook
It all began when a loving mother, Sai Latha, who is also an inspiring entrepreneur in the gifting space, reached out to me with a special request. She wanted to gift something meaningful to her 8-year-old son, Avyukt, on a special day—something more than just a typical diary. Her son loves sketching, and that love needed to be honored in the most beautiful, personalized way.
That’s when the idea struck—why not create a custom sketchbook using resin art, where every page would inspire little Avyukt to draw, imagine, and create?We decided to replace regular diary pages with high-quality sketchbook paper, custom punched to fit perfectly into the handcrafted resin cover. This wasn’t just going to be a book; it was going to be a creative companion.
Resin Art Is Like Life – It Happens in Layers
Resin art has always been a metaphor for life for me. It’s all about patience, layers, and trust in the process. You pour, wait, pour again—and slowly, something stunning emerges.
The same process applied here. The cover of the diary had to reflect something joyful, bright, and childlike—while still being an object of lasting beauty. Resin, being a medium that captures shine, depth, and vibrancy, was perfect for this project.I used multiple layers of epoxy resin to build a strong, glossy, and dreamy front and back cover. Space-themed elements, kid-friendly colors, and cartoon-inspired stickers (yes, even Gadha stickers!) found their way into the art. Each layer captured the spirit of adventure and youthful curiosity.
The Joy of Designing Stickers with Cricut Joy
Alongside the resin cover, I had the most fun designing custom stickers using my Cricut Joy. It’s an absolute delight to work with this tool. There’s something incredibly therapeutic about feeding in a blank sheet and watching it transform into sheets of adorable, expressive stickers—tiny yet powerful pieces of art.
Every strip of stickers carved out from the sheet brought a smile to my face. Each one carried a word, a symbol, or a design that was meant to uplift, inspire, or spark joy.
“Art is therapy. Craft is meditation.” These aren’t just words to me—they’re truths that I live by. Making these stickers, with encouraging phrases and playful doodles, was both a joyful experience and a mindful one. It felt like I was weaving tiny pockets of love into the sketchbook.
Personal Touches Make Gifting Extra Special
Personalization is the soul of handmade gifting.
To make the sketchbook extra special for little Avyukt, I created a custom bookmark with his name, a thoughtful little add-on that would make him feel truly seen and celebrated. When you’re eight, even your name printed on a small object can mean the world—it’s magic.
And it wasn’t just about the name. I infused the entire book with playful illustrations, positive messages, and handpicked design elements that would resonate with a child full of dreams.Because every time he opens the sketchbook, I want him to feel the warmth of his mother’s love, the energy of creativity, and the joy of being uniquely himself.
Why Resin Diaries Are More Than Just Stationery
To many, a resin diary might just be a fancy notebook. But to me—and to the people I craft for—it’s so much more.
It’s a keepsake. A piece of functional art. A vessel of thoughts, drawings, feelings, and stories.
Each handcrafted resin diary is created with purpose. It’s one-of-a-kind, not just because of the materials used, but because of the intention behind it. Whether it’s a birthday gift, a self-love journal, or in this case, a child’s first sketchbook—it carries soul.And that’s what Craftlogically Me is all about. It’s not just about crafting products. It’s about crafting moments, memories, and meaning.
Art is the Soul Speaking
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe a handcrafted gift is worth even more.
To hold something that was made just for you, with layers of resin, splashes of color, strokes of love, and sprinkles of imagination—that’s not just a gift. That’s an emotion.
As the founder of Craftlogically Me, I feel humbled and grateful to bring stories like Avyukth’s sketchbook to life. To know that a little boy will now sketch his dreams on pages chosen by his mother, held together by a cover made with care—fills my heart with the kind of joy only art can give.
If you’re looking to gift something meaningful, magical, and made with soul—I’m just a message away.
With love and glitter,
