November Bullet Journal Set Up – Bright Colors & Falling Leaves
Despite failed attempts and soaked notebook pages recently, I was itching to create a November themed bullet journal layout with watercolor. So here’s November’s Bullet Journal set up & inspiration.
It’s been a while since I posted a Bullet Journal Set-Up post. Mostly because I haven’t felt that I had much to share. I’ve had some bad luck with notebooks lately, so I’ve had to scrap everything and restart multiple times. I feel like a notebook vagabond, a stationary hobo, glassy-eyed, stumbling from one journal sheath to another. Never lingering long, just enough to warm my fingers against the pages before moving on.
Have you been there? Either where inspiration never strikes or when you start creating, your medium doesn’t cooperate? Hopefully, my November Bullet Journal set up gets your creative brain working.
November Planner Inspiration
It was so warm in October that the leaves didn’t have a chance to lose their green and turn colors. The first week of the month was close to 100°F or 37°C all week long! With this in mind, I wanted to create fall colors and a fall attitude somewhere – so why not in November’s Bullet Journal?
In addition to bright colors, I decided to try out some new techniques I desperately want to try and share with you! So let’s dive into the leaf piles and experiments for November’s Bullet Journal Set Up.
Brightly colored falling leaves are a sure sign of fall to me, but something else speaks fall to me as well – and I’m not quite sure why. Finding the moon above the barren treetops and watching my foggy breath rise around me in the cool, still night speaks peace and reflection and reminds me of the transition from warm nights to cool crisp evenings. My welcome page doesn’t look cohesive, but to me, it’s all the elements of a perfect fall.
Want to Learn How I Created These Pages?
There are some parts of November’s Bullet Journal Set up that I want to explain further – such as cutting pages, flip-out pages, & the expanded monthly log. I’ll explain those in separate posts.
Highlights for November’s Bullet Journal Set-Up:
Monthly Log
Cut Pages
Flip-out Pages
Minimal Layouts
Watercolor + Bright Colors
Gratitude Wall – Inspired by this Month’s Instagram Challenge – Gratitude
Idea Tree – Find 150+ Ideas to Replace “Brain Dump” in your Planner
Hopefully, this provides some inspiration for a future spread for you. Minimal design, but bright colors and thick, black outlines give a whimsical look to all the fall & thanksgiving elements. Don’t get stuck thinking you have to create realistic views and doodles. NO! Not necessary! Sometimes blobs of color with a thick-black outline create the best story.
