favorite bullet journal spreads so far... | 2019

Hey guys, I haven't really been posting much about my bullet journal this year. I really felt like my spreads have been pretty minimal, and not overly elaborate. There have been some spreads and layouts that I've really enjoyed this year!

I thought I would make this post to share with you some of my favorites so far!

So in February I created a very "yellow" spread! While technically what I did was extremely minimal, I added lots of different stickers and washi tapes! The markers I'm using in this are a mix of the Tombow Brush Pens and the Crayola Super Tips! I recently got myself a Crayola 50 marker set, and I love them! There are so many different colors, and I'm honestly so in love.

This spread took me less than 15 minutes to make, so it's super easy, especially people who don't really have the time to take too much time on their spreads.

This spread is extremely similar to the one in February, but I added a blogging schedule to the bottom of it! I kind of liked this layout, I just felt like the bottom blogging schedule needed a bit more space! I think my favorite thing about this spread was the plant stickers! I used them throughout the month, and it just brought so much color! I loved them.

The stickers and washi tape are both from Ali Express, and I'm using some Crayola SuperTips Markers!

On the left hand side you can see that I have my march memories, with the same washi tape and plant stickers from the spread beforehand.

I really wanted to show you guys that I've been working on my brush letter/fake brush lettering. This is the first year that I created Monthly introduction spreads. I write the name of the month, the year, and a quote that resonates with me that month.

While I'm not especially proud of how I wrote out April, I can see the improvement from January til now (almost May).

In May, I completely changed the layout! Instead of making these big calenders, I made a small one, and then underneath I started writing out my plans for the month. I think I like this better. I don't have the smallest handwriting, and so this actually makes much more sense to me.

This is the first month that I added a significant amount of my own doodles. I've had a little bit more time on my hands, and so I thought it would be cute to add this!

On the right hand side, I brought back my blogging schedule. Since I have a very hectic May, I have to be very organized with my blog posts! I already have a lot of them pre-planned, so I can write them before I go on vacation and for days I'm planning on being busy!

So for May, I also changed my weekly spreads! They're now divided into lil' squared sections. I also have a mini tracker at the end of the week. I have a few things I have to make sure that I do a few times a week, and so this was great for me! I can't wait to see how it helps me next month!

I also created lil' doodles on the edges of the pages, which I love.

I think it's super cool to see how my spreads change throughout the year. Some changes are super minimal, and some are just completely different! Do you change your spreads a lot throughout the year or do you tend to keep them the same? Let me know!

    I really want to start bullet journalling - it's such a great idea. I'm just not sure where to start if I'm honest - I guess I just need to buy a journal and give it a go! Yours is lovely - will definitely use these spreads for inspiration!

    I’m loving the spring vibes! Totes cute 💕 I like bullet journaling I use to do it a lot back at uni, I enjoy turning my book into a doodle spot while organising my week’s events, it was always so calming and gave me time to think of the things I may be forgetting. I think you’re fab at decorating and I like the different stationery you've been using hun! 🖊✂️📒
