Bullet journal recommendations - part I

Image
I am very glad to have you back in my little creative corner. I thought instead of showing something of my own work, I could let's have a look, shall we? (Note: all these pictures were taken off of their Instagram accounts and therefore all rights belong to them).  Plant Based Bride Elizabeth is a Canadian Bujotuber (Youtuber that share bullet journal content) and she is probably my very favourite one. She shares bullet journal plan with me videos, book reviews, watercolour tutorials and content about veganism and sustainability. She is a very kind person and if you're lucky, she might even respond to your comments on Youtube or Instagram. I would describe her bujo stile like that: although she is not a professional artist, she achieves incredible artwork with the use of simple methods and tricks (which she can explain to us in a very understandable way). She mainly uses watercolour, gel pens and fineliners.   Amanda Rach Lee Amanda might be the best known Bujotuber among...

October Setup & Updates

Image
Welcome back! It has been a while. Here are some updates for you: I have tried out many different things this year: planners, new spreads and setups. The spreads that I am about to show you are the ones that have been working quite well for me. I also started a seperate journal to keep track of my period, movies and series I've watched. I only update that one, when I have the time and feel like it (and that takes a lot of pressure out for me, because I don't have to come back to it every day).  cover page It is hard to actually define the theme for this month. The vibe I was going for was something calm since I am starting university this month and it is a lot of change and stress. I found the picture on the right page a while ago in a magazine and it did fit perfectly well in here. On the left page I glued in some tea-stained paper, which I also used in the rest of this setup. I saw a very similar drawing on Pinterest and got inspired for this one. You can find all my inspirat...

October 2019 Setup

Image
Hellou everyone! I was planning to post this setup a long while ago but well it's only coming now. Also, if you haven't noticed (which is kind of hard since you're already here) I have completely changed the layout of my blog and I am so pleased with it! I hope you enjoy it as well. Okay here's my setup: Calendar and autumn bucket list I couldn't really decide for a theme in October so I decided to go all cliché and do an autumn inspired one since I hadn't done one before. I decided to not do a cover page because I really wanted to finish the year in that notebook. Instead I just did a calendar and added an autumn bucket list in the empty space. I wanted to watch "Hocus Pocus" (which I couldn't because it was no longer available on my streaming service) and "Harry Potter" and do all kinds of cosy things. The layout itself is quite simple. I did an ombré header for the month and the word "autumn", added some coppe...

September Setup

Image
Hellou folks! I took a break to create some new content for you. But I was also in a hurry because I was creating a whole bujo for my brother as a present (and I had to do it in less than 3 weeks so that took up a lot of time). After I did that a friend of his also asked me to do one for him and that's what I´ve been doing these past weeks. But nevertheless I wanted to show you today my setup for September in which I changed up a lot of things. The reason for that was that I was just not using my bujo as much as I would want to and I had to go back to basics and find out what really works for me. My theme therefore was quite similar to my very first monthly Setup in September 2018 which was Mandalas. But this time it was more of a Pattern and Mandala theme with mainly two accent colours (neon pink and orange). It was easy to be very free and creative with it.                

August Setup

Image
So this post is going up a day later than expected but it's still within the week so you'll have two posts per week. For August I did a theme that I've been wanting to do for quite a while. The theme is travelling. I hope you'll enjoy it too! Spread 1: cover page

July Setup

Image
We are getting closer to being up-to-date folks (okay I won't say that word again I promise)! The next month I want to show you is July. I was quite busy in that month and even though it isn't as much my style, I just went with a more simplistic black and white theme.

June Setup

Image
Next up is June and I did something very different to anything I did before. I took a few of the magazines that were laying around and cut out some fashion pieces. And that was kind of my theme: Fashion in a scrapbook kind of way.

May Setup

Image
Good morning/evening/night! I am going to show you my May monthly setup because it was the first month of my current bujo and I want to show you the entire content of my bujo. Oh and if you're interested to see my last bujo just go ahead on my Instagram to see it. I will however post flipthrough videos of it anytime soon. So keep an eye open for that.  In May I decided to go with a book theme. "Looking from Alaska" was the first book of John Green and it is my absolute favourite of all books I have read from him and also one of my all time favourites. I kept it quite scrapbook-ish and my lead colour was yellow. Spread 1: Cover page

Bullet Journal Setup

Image
Hello everyone! I started bullet journaling about a year ago and I have learned a lot with it. For anyone who doesn't know what bullet journaling is: it is a system created by Ryder Carroll in which you create your own planner. Since you do it yourself, you can combine it with a lot of other things such a notebook, a health keeping diary, etc. If you want to know more about the original system, you can see this video made by Carroll himself or buy his amazing book (which I started reading a while ago too).  So just to clear things up: no I didn't invent the method myself and I am not using it in the original way (even though I am currently trying to find out what works best for me). I think the first thing that comes to mind is: why do a planner if you can buy one and spare the time creating it? Well that is a good question. For me personally it was a great way to explore my creativity and get a lot better at drawing. But the bullet journal (bujo) also allows the customisa...
