Each month I upload my so-called ‘spread’ to share how I keep a bullet journal, or BuJo for short.
This month’s theme features the iconic illustrations by Fiep Westendorp for the popular Dutch children’s book ‘Jip and Janneke’ by Annie M. G. Schmidt.
March takes us into the Victorian era, with Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s novel. 🎩🐇
My theme for February is centered around illustrations of a classic story that follows a young prince and teaches us important life lessons along the way. ✨
My muse for this month is Miffy, a cute little bunny created by author and illustrator Dick Bruna.
Glitter, blue and gold, it all comes together to create a winter theme with a hint of royal vibes for December. ❄️ ✨
After the abundant theme of last month, I chose a more minimalist style for November, illustrated with rain related hand painted decorations. ☔
Thanks to travel plans and a Halloween party I’m helping to organise this October, I decided to do a spooky witchy theme this year. 🎃 🧙♀️
For September I chose a theme based on a nautical children’s room concept, in red and different shades of blue.
For this month’s decorations I made use of a colouring book to create a theme in black, white and gold.
I checked a few boxes off my wishlist by creating a vintage field journal theme with gold leaf details.
June marks the start of summer for me, so I wanted a theme that reminds me of that. The sweet freshness of citrus fruits fits the bill!
With May being my birthday month, I figured it was time to host a little party in my journal. 🎉
Spring has arrived and I’m celebrating with a pink theme full of cute animals, painted in watercolour.
Considering how happy and engaged I feel when I’m creating art, I decided to dedicate an entire month to it.
Ironically I chose to use exactly ZERO watercolours for my brand new watercolour bullet journal. Instead I chose to go with a minimalist theme.
I’ve been struggling with trying to decorate my journal in watercolour paint on cheap paper, so I bought a new journal.
The theme for August 2023 is Delftware (or: ‘Delft blue’ as it’s called in Dutch), which is a very traditional Dutch art style in blue monochrome.
July was the first month that I added a little quote to my title page. It’s a bit hard to read, but it says: “Even busy bees stop to smell the roses.”
New year, new journal, new me! The summer mood inspired me to make my first theme very cheerful and what better way to represent summer than strawberries?
I’m creating a bullet journal to track and document some things, as well as create opportunities for myself to be inspired to make art.
