August Bullet Journal Set Up 2019

For my August bullet journal set up, I decided to do something a little different. I opted to print out one of my paintings to use as my cover page.

I think this might be my favourite spread yet! And, I think it will change how I set up my bullet journal going forward.

If you’d like to see my August bullet journal set up, keep reading. If you like the seascape I used in my journal, it is available as an art print in my Etsy shop.

• Leuchtturm A5 dotted notebook
• Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen (hard)
• Pigma micron fine line pen (No. 02)
• Pigma micron fine line pen (No. 05)
• White Sakura Gelly Roll pen

August Bullet Journal Monthly Spread

I was feeling a little uninspired as to what to draw for my cover page for August. Then, when I was working on my Etsy shop I had an idea.

I decided that one of my paintings would make a great cover image.

I printed it off using my office printer on regular inkjet paper (rather than as a fine art print that I sell in my shop). And, I glued it onto the left-hand page on a double-spread.

I then added the title ‘August’ using my Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen (hard) towards the centre top of the image. Towards the bottom centre, I added a calendar using my white Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

On the right-hand page, I created boxes for important dates, birthdays, goals and for blog ideas and to-dos. These are sized differently to give me the space I need for each.

For the box titles, I printed off my seascape again and cut out small rectangles from the sky. I glued these down and wrote the titles on them using my Pigma micron fine line pen (No. 05).

I titled everything else in my August bullet journal this way too.

August Bullet Journal Gratitude & Highlights page

This double-page spread has become a firm favourite of mine and it is so simple to do.

On the left side is my gratitude page where I write one line a day of gratitude. On the right is blank space for me to write down memories and highlights for August.

I have outlined the pages using my Pigma micron fine line pen (No. 02) and titled them using the watercolour print out.

August Bullet Journal Weekly Spread

I have kept the same weekly set up as last month. It is super simple and minimalistic.

I use one-page per week and split each page into two by drawing a line down the page 10 boxes in.

At the top-left of the page, I have a monthly calendar overview and highlight the week the spread correlates with.

Underneath this is space to write down to-dos and notes.

I have split the right-hand section of the page into 7 for each day of the week. Weekdays have 5 boxes worth of space to write in and weekend days have 3.

Again, all the titles have been created from cut-outs of my watercolour painting.

And, that’s it! I’d love to know what you think of my August bullet journal set up.
