• 10 reasons why you should use stickers in your Bullet Journal

    Traditionally Bullet Journals consist of two things…a journal and something to write with. But if you search for Bullet Journal inspiration on Pinterest you will soon see that Bullet Journal layouts range from simple to highly artistic creations. If you are artistic and/or have lots of time…those elaborate pages are easy. If not…then they can become stressful. So what’s a girl to do who wants beautiful artistic layouts in her Bullet Journal but who also wants the process to be…

  • Plant stickers are a girls best friend especially if you don’t have green thumb!

    When it comes to plants…I LOVE them. The only problem is that I have a black thumb…so for the safety of plants I’m better off just drawing them. Unless they are fake plants. I’m very good at dusting them! Plant stickers are a great way to decorate your planner or Bullet Journal layouts and can be used to create a glorious full layout or as singular embellishments in a minimal style theme. Also stickers can help jumpstart your own doodling.…

  • Memory Keeping in a Travelers Notebook + cute photography themed stickers

    When I was a scrapbooker, I would spend a LOT of time creating the perfect scrapbook layout. I laboured over whether I needed more embellishments or did I keep the white space for maximum oomph. Did I have one focus photo or lots? And don’t even get me started on choosing the right paper…I’d be lost down that rabbit hole for hours. Fast forward a few years and my memory keeping has been pared down to a super simplistic form.…

  • How to create Bullet Journal Pages you love…or at least like!

    While I’m an avid doodler, I prefer to create minimal journal pages and then add more doodles and embellishments when the mood strikes or I have time. I find that I’m usually happier with how these pages turn out because by the time I return to the page to play with it, there is less pressure to create a perfect page. I don’t know about you but if I set out to create a super awesome cover page for a…

  • How to resize printable stickers to suit any planner or Bullet Journal

    You have found the perfect stickers for your planner. The only problem is that they are way too large to use. You could forget about them and look through another 10,000 listings on Etsy to try and find something similar but suitably sized or you could get the ones you like and resize them. Resizing sounds more complicated than it actually is. Once you have mastered resizing, it will take you no time at all to resize and print your…

  • Bullet Journal Inspiration – Favorite Books List

    So I decided to create a favorite books list in my journal. I drew my shelf and then started listing my books. Apparently the ONLY books that stick in my mind are all historical ones. I have read lots of good book but unless I checked my Goodreads accounts and the ratings I gave the books, I wouldn’t have a clue what they were. At least by name. Does that make me a history super nerd? Or perhaps I remember…

  • Daily Layout Ideas for Bullet Journals (with mood tracker)

    Of all the types of spreads that you can use in your journal or planner, I do love a daily spread. I’m the type of girl that needs a daily to do list that I can check off, a space for appointments or events and room for notes. I’d love to move to a weekly spread but for now…I need more room than one little column will give me.  Above is a recent layout I created for my travelers notebook.…

  • Celebrate February with a flower freebie!

    So I have a thing for flowers…despite the fact that I’m terrible in the garden and I generally don’t like to receive flowers. I love seeing flowers in the wild or in a gorgeous garden (that someone else has tended).  I love looking through garden books especially vintage ones with hand drawn illustrations. And I love drawing them. As a recovering perfectionist I like that flowers don’t have to be perfect because they almost never are in nature. There is…
