Each theme has it’s own flip-through video, below which I list the stationery used and my inspiration for the theme.
Make sure you check out my review of the Caran d’Ache notebook, a journal designed for fountain pens. I chose to use this journal because it nicely fitted three months of bullet journaling and allows me to start the new year with a new journal.
October – New journal setup
Stickers printed from purchased graphics
Tombow dual brush pens
Staedtler markers
Pigma micron pens
Washi tape
Gelly Roll pens
Printed papers
I’ve owned this digital graphic set for a while, and to make the most of it, I decided to print it on sticker paper, fussy cut around each picture and use it as a theme. I found a hand lettering font that suited a robot theme, drew a few of my own robots and I like it all so much I might have to do it again sometime!
October – Sad girls
Washi tape
Posca paint pen (black)
Chameleon pens
Hybrid gel grip pen
PET stickers
Archer & Olive coloured notepad paper
VersaMagic chalk ink
Rub-ons
Alphabet stamps (daily log)
Tombow dual-brush pens
I wanted a spooky theme for October but didn’t want to go all the way with a Halloween theme, so I chose a range of purple colours and focused on some stickers of sad girls. Added to that I cut black cats out of washi tape.
November – Under the sea
Sticker book
Chameleon pens
Van Dieman’s fountain pen ink
Tombow dual brush pens
My sister gifted me this sticker book and really wanted to see me use it in my bullet journal. I had been struggling to work out how to use it, because a lot of the stickers were either on large circles or large tags, but I ended up fussy cutting a lot of the images and then I could make it work. The stickers were a range of shells, fish and other sea life and vegetation, and included decorative strips of sticker paper, so I edged my pages and did a few cool tabs with them.
December – Bin chickens
Prismacolor pencils
VersaMagic chalk ink
Alphabet stamps
Washi tape
PET tape
Gelly Roll pens
Pigma Micron pen
Stickers by Linou’s Pots
I’m a bit over doing themes that suit the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere, so I went with a truly summery/beachy theme for December that brought Christmas in via a santa hat. I dedicated the month to the Australian white ibis, affectionately known as the Bin Chicken in Australia, where it even appears in advertising. Don’t ask me why I chose this bird! I think I just wanted an Australian bird that I could represent with it’s ‘shirt’ off, which kind of didn’t work anyway, but I still love the theme!
