First on the Fall Bullet Journal Theme Ideas: Leaves & Trees!
I can’t write about fall theme ideas in your bullet journal without mentioning fall foliage and all the leaves shapes.
It seems that nearly every year, I do a colored leaf-themed bullet journal in the Fall. I’m not mad, but I am surprised. Fall really is my favorite season! I went back through all of my journals to find fall 2018, and I have a gap between the end of one book, August 2018 and November 2018. Oh well! I guess I make up for it by having two in 2017.
September 2017 – Fall leaves weekly – still one of my favorite spreads, and it makes me want to use more colored pencils.
November 2017 – Aspen Forest Welcome Page
November 2019 – with bright colors and semi-dutch door feel on the monthly. Maybe I should try this again. I really like the effect.
September 2020 – Acrylic markers blended from green leaves to fall colors for a beautiful effect.
- Leaf Wreaths
- Leaves falling
- Leaf Piles
- Multi-Colored Leaves
- Quaking Aspen Forest
- Tree Branches
I feel like Forrest Gump. I could go on and on. By the way, if you like puns, ‘leaf’ is an excellent start to a pun-tastic fall bullet journal theme. I’ll just ‘leaf’ that idea right there. I’m sure you could blow me away with all your colorful puns. Don’t let these ideas dry up. I really should stop now.
Suppose you’re looking for more ideas for an autumn theme. Keep reading. I promise there are so many good ideas.
Second on the list for Fall Bullet Journal Theme Ideas: Apples!
Of course, you are free to choose your theme but remember you don’t have to include only images of apples. For instance, a few years ago, I created a bullet journal spread with signposts and apple buckets as though I was in an apple orchard.
- Apple Orchard
- Apples
- Apple Pie
- Candied Apples
- Caramel Apples
In fact, here are some apple-related brain dump page names. Because I love to name my brain dump pages something other than ‘brain dump.’
- Fill the Orchard / Fill the Bucket
- Orchard of Thoughts
- Apple Bucket
- No Bad Apples
- Ripe Thoughts
- Thoughts for the Picking

Fall Outdoor Fun Bullet Journal Inspiration
My family used to attend a local ‘witches night out’ around Halloween. We loved the crafts & food and witch costumes! They sponsored a fun run, as well! If you’re into running, look for any themed half-marathon or runs in your area and do them as a family.
- At the Farm/Barnyard
- Camping
- Cookouts
- Corn Maze
- County Fair Silhouette/Outlines
- County Fair Rides & Prizes
- Farmer’s Market
- Hay Bales
- Hot Air Balloons (found on my whimsical travel theme post)
- Pumpkin Patches (here’s a pumpkin themed weekly spread.) I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to create my page and then add doodles later. That’s essentially what I did with that spread – substitute the pumpkins for other doodles and change it out all year.
- Scarecrow (you could even go all out and do the Wizard of Oz!)
Night Sky
- Cabin in Woods with Smoke
- Full Moon
- Harvest Moon
- Moon Cycles
- Night Sky
- Stars
- Tree Silhouettes
- Witch across a moon
- Cat sitting on a fence in front of the moon
Moons and galaxies are some of my favorite things to paint outside of my bullet journal. I’ve seen a lot of moon phase layouts as well. Some use glistening glittery paint. Others are just outlines of each shape. Whatever you choose, I’m sure a moon theme would be spectacular.
Warm & Cozy Fall Bullet Journal Theme Ideas
- Candles
- Cooking
- Firewood
- Flannel
- Knitting
- Plaid
- Movie Nights
- Sweaters
- Tea Lights
- Warm & cozy
Enhance Your Fall Bullet Journal Theme – Fall Collections
Beyond The theme in your Bullet Journal for fall, here are some great ideas for collections to include during the fall months.
Clothing & Accessories
- Bag Wishlist
- Bags I have
- Clothing Size Lists for Family
- Coats I Own
- Fall Outfits
- Ideal Outfit
- Sweaters I Own (list colors/patterns)
Keeping a list of clothing items that you currently own sounds like a great way enhance the nostalgia when you flip back through your bullet journal. When you start including snapshots of your life, it brings a sense of who you are at that very moment and keeps that time as a memory. It’s not just about schedules and to-do lists. It’s recording a snippet of your life. At least, that’s how I use my creative planner.
Fall Self-Care Practices
- Bath Bombs to Try
- Self-Care List
- Favorite Shops
- Favorite Coffee Houses/Diners
- Things that Motivate You
I know during the fall, life gets busier, schedules take over, and sometimes self-care suffers. Make a list of what you do to make yourself happy in the fall and winter months. Make sure to carry this list through winter to help prevent feeling glum.
Food
- Bulk Cooking Ideas
- Fall recipes
- Favorite fall foods
- Hot Drinks to Try
- Restaurant Meal Menus
Here’s a post on recipe tracking – especially when you get a new fall recipe book!
Things to Do in the Fall:

Journaling
- Favorite Fall Memories
- Past Halloween Costumes for you or your kids
I love to keep a list of past fun in my book. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a list of all your kid’s yearly Halloween costumes? The thing with this type of list is that you don’t have to sit down and compile it all at once. Add to it as you remember or as Facebook memories remind you. I can’t believe that I’m going to thank Facebook for something, but here we go, thanks Facebook for the memories!
Sports
- Football dream team
- Football Tracker
- Soccer
I know I’m missing more sports-related trackers during the fall. What other fall sports would you track in your bullet journal?
Color Inspiration for your Fall Bullet Journal
- Oranges, reds, purples
- Tans, browns, and yellows
- Deep reds like burgundy
- Transitions from green to yellow to red and finally purple
I love the color of mulled cider and cinnamon. There are more than one reasons why I love fall, and the colors don’t disappoint. I adore the rich, vibrant colors associated with fall foliage and the autumn season.
From bright orange pumpkins to the deep rustic orange of mulled cider. Golden yellow, tan, and brown present their rich, flavorful hues during the fall months. Dark Reds like burgundy paired with dark purples lend comfort and a sense of warmth.
