November Journal Spreads

I love comic books! It started as a mild interest as a child watching X-Men and Batman cartoons on Fox Kids when I was growing up. Then of course the movies in the the early 2000s kicked it incomic to a hobby. When I started working full-time, I started collecting trade paperbacks. And here we are. It's 2020 and I'm drawing on my interest in comics to create a bullet journal theme. 


Now, here's the confession- this isn't my first comic book theme I've created in a journal. I started 2019 with the same idea. I used different spreads and drew-- well, attempted to draw the animated versions of my favorite DC Comics heroines. I didn't like the way it turned out so here's a different approach! I do like this one a lot more. 
Let's walk through it!
When It comes to my monthly pages, I tend to stick pretty close to the same format. 

Cover Page
Monthly Calendar and task list
Gratitude 
Habit Tracker 
Weeklies
Social Media Tracker 
Monthly Review

Monthly Calendar Spread and Task List
I reference this page a lot. I used it to schedule events, appointments, meetings, and tasks. I'm a vey visual person and like having a page to visualize the whole month. I also include a "recommended" section to record books, music, and movies/tv that is recommended to me. 
 
 


Gratitude and Habit Tracker
I like to record the highlights of each day on this page. Reminds me to focus on the positives when it's so hard to do that sometimes. I don't always include a habit tracker, but I've been slacking on my personal goals lately so I've decided to include one this month.




Weeklies
Weeklies are the bulk of my journal pages. I record tasks and events here. I even include fun things I want to remember This is great for deadlines and things that need to be done by a certain time. I change up the type of layout I use monthly. Lately, I like having a separate place on my weeklies for events that I can glance at quickly.







Social Media Tracker and Monthly Review
The social media tracker has been so helpful for scheduling posts for the business page. I think this will be the last month I include it until our next vinyl release though. An absolute essential page for me is the monthly review I love recording highlights and accomplishments along with the media I consume. Especially fun to reference through when preparing the end of the year review!





Supplies: Sharpie Art pen (black), Crayola Supertips (red, blue, yellow), Happy planner stickers, Super hero stickers from Dollar Tree

Christmas Craftiness 2011

Image
I wanted to wait until after Christmas to post what I've made/purchased for the amazing people in my life. I just love the gift tags made from tag rims and scrapbook paper. I used stick on letters for some of the names and I hand wrote the others. Then, I "laminated" them with packaging tape. All the gentlemen in my family are extremely gifted. They either draw or write and they all have creative tendencies (I guess it's in the genes!). I put together mini sketchbooks for them so they can be creative while they are out and about. I used those ever so handy rub-on letters to spell out the words: idea, draw, notes, sketch, and create on the covers (which is just painted cardboard). For the ladies, I assembled these adorable button brooches and hairpins. Cute! As far as bought gifts go, I went the Fair Trade route. I wanted to give gifts that were either hand made or impacted the rest of the world in some way. I stumbled upon STOP Start Cam

December 2020 Bullet Journal Spreads

Image
Hello December! I don't know about you, but I'm excited to start the last month of 2020. It's been a tough year for everyone and we've finally made it. I don't typically get super into Christmas, but after how hard the past 10 months have been I've decided to make the little things count. I've decked the halls and hung the stockings. Doing anything I can to make it a season full of sweet memories! With that mindset, I decided to make a scrapbook style bullet journal theme. I'd never done a theme using scrap paper before so this was quite a different experience. Without further ado... Overall, this was a fun theme to make and I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I especially love the "Christmas Memories" page to record special moments with the ones I love. I'll be posting a 2021 Bullet Journal set up soon. I'm so excited to show off my new notebook! Be on the look out for that in the next few weeks.

Mother's Day Appreciation

Recently, I was sent this beautiful message from my brother thanking me for the influence and impact I've had on him. It inspired me to think about the women that have a great influence on me as well. To my mother, To transcribe the influence you've had on me would be impossible. I'm incredibly grateful for your love, guidance, and wisdom. You've encouraged me to form my own opinions even if they're in direct contradictions to your own. You've taught me that gentleness and kindness is a strength, not a weakness. From you, I've learned to be grateful for the little things. Thank you for all the pep talks, advice, and weekend trips. Your influence is a huge part of the woman I am today. I strive to be as warm and nurturing as you. I love you, mom! To Jennifer,  You've been an immeasurable impact in my personal and work life. Thank you for seeing my potential and encouraging my talents. Thank you for all the opportunities for growth
