August Bullet Journal Spread Ideas

Hey Sunflowers!

This month I had some unique spreads in my August bullet journal setup. Kinsley started swimming lessons so I of course had to create some spreads for her training. I also needed a gift tracker and bullet journal page ideas spread. I usually don’t include these in my monthlies but these pages RELLY helped! If you are wondering what is a bullet journal start here: How to Bullet Journal for Beginners. In this blog post you will get some inspiration for your own bullet journal, discover the bullet journal supplies I used and even get a change to sign up for free planner printables and free printable stickers!

August Bullet Journal Title Page

This month I went with a watermelon theme. Summer always makes think of watermelons. Okay I guess I would say the beach but watermelon is a close second! I’m using my tombow brush pens and crayola super tips for the colors. All supplies will be linked below. I broke out my stamp for the 2021 but let’s be honest, I could have done a better job. I didn’t want them to be aligned perfectly but this still doesn’t look amazing. Ither than that I am happy how this turned out. Adding the little seeds really pulls it all together.

Bullet Journal Calendar Page

I just bought a new bullet journal stencil, I used it for the calendar and tasks list. I don’t really use stencils but if I were to only have one this set would be the one! It is linked in the supplies list. The watermelon border was so simple to create.

Bullet Journal Habit Tracker

I like to track my prenatals, workouts, reading, printables, etc. I don’t always try to do these every day but habit trackers are my way of seeing how often I am doing certain things. I made a drop shadow with a large gap and I was able to write the habit inside. This was my first time doing this and I am loving it. This spread did not take long at all. Look at how easy the bottom border was.

Month at a Glance Bullet Journal

This month I created a vertical calendar so I had all the room to write each event. I like to have the day of the week in front of the date. I used a tombow small nibbed brush pen for the tittle and a micron to write the days and dates. I used washi tape on all sides of the seeds so I got a crisp line when I took it off. The important thing to do is make sure a bunch of the seeds are overlapping the washi tape that way there is a defined line.

Bullet Journal Page Ideas

This was inspired by the only Amanda Rach Lee! She had a page ideas spread and I realized I need one too! I added little rainbows with my Crayola Super Tips. a Simple way to copy the “Bujo” is to write it in normal capital letters in pencil and trace around it with a fine liner.

Gift Ideas Bullet Journal Page

Most people do this for Christmas but I was brewing some ideas and needed this page now! It will be nice to have this throughout the rest of the year. So many ideas are always popping in my head but never when I am at the store during Christmas time! This was my first time writing with this king of “f” I think it is pretty cool.

Swimming Lessons Spread Bullet Journal

What says summer more than swimming lessons for my little one! My husband thought this was “more for me than her”. He thought she was not going to learn anything but I proved him WRONG!!I Okay well actually Kinsley proved him wrong, that’s my girl. I will never regret paying for lessons at 6 months! She really did learn a lot and I learned a lot myself because they let me in the water with her so I got to learn what to do with her. I can’t wait until next year!

Swimming Lessons Spread Bullet Journal

The lessons were for 6 weeks 2 times a week. I wanted to write down all the exercises so we could keep practicing after. I know I won’t remember everything next year too so now I’ll always have this to look back on not only for the information but the memories! This is why I love bullet journaling so much. It is so practical and fun to look at.

Swimming Lessons Spread Bullet Journal

The final week of the swimming lessons! Look at my 6 month old swimming!! She really has learned so much. I can’t wait until next year. I made a ribbon in honor of her graduating. The design of these pages were so simple they only took me 5 minutes each.

I Stressed

It takes a lot of time to create a bullet journal. I started to feel over whelmed so I created printable planner stickers and pre-made bullet journal pages to help me and others out! I still get to create my own spreads but now I don’t spend countless hours, I just don’t have as much time as I used to, now I’m a mom! I have a ton of planner printables and printable stickers in my SHOP. I appreciate your support!
