October Bullet Journal Walk Through

So, I made my first Bullet Journal plan with me/walk through video for the month of October, and of course, I had to go with a spooky theme.

If you would like to join me and see how I set up my BuJo this month, take a look at the video below.



I look forward to seeing all of your spooky spreads this month :)

Which Bullet Journal?

Making the decision to purchase your first bullet journal notebook can be daunting, especially with so many brands on the market. 

  • How do you know which one will suit your needs best? 
  • What are the unique features of each book? 
  • How will you know if the paper will suit your requirements? 

So many questions and, unless you live near a store that stocks all the notebooks, you can't just pop in and feel them all or test out the paper before you buy. So I have taken 5 of the best and, most popular notebooks, and put together a thorough comparison video where I walk you through of all of the features of each book. There are even pen and watercolour swatches, so you can see for yourself just how much ghosting you are going get on those pages. 



I have also created a table below, for you to easily refer back to, to see the stats, highlights and drawbacks of each particular book. 

I hope this helps you in making an informed decision of which is the right book for you. 

If there are any other products you would like to see me review, leave me a comment. 

Until next time

Getting Arty in your Bullet Journal

I decided to make a series of video tutorials on ways to get arty in your bullet journal. For the first Video in this series, I show you how you can use Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to create simple, yet effective borders for your spreads.



Distress ink is easy to use and also very versatile. It also, most importantly, does not cause any ghosting or bleed through in your pages.

Join me and lets see what fun and unique designs we can create.

Hello.

Hi and welcome!

I'm guessing, being as you have found your way here, that you are either at the beginning of your journaling journey or, that you are already well on your way down that addictive path and, as obsessed with journaling as I am. Whichever it may be, I'm so glad to have you here.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. I'm Emma, I'm a 37 year old mother of three, an artist, writer and, lover of all manner of creative pursuits.

Here in my tiny space on the internet, I plan to share with you all manner of journaling related goodness. There will Bullet Journaling with layout ideas, tips on how you can include art in your BuJo, ways to make your Bujo work for you, and even free printable's to use in your Bujo. We will also cover Mixed Media art journaling with full video tutorials, product reviews, help on how to begin with art journaling and so many more things that I have planned in my head.  There will also be drawing and colouring tutorials and, maybe even a few free colouring pages for the colourists amongst you.

If you are not already familiar with my work you can follow me on Instagram or take a look at some of my tutorials over on my YouTube channel.

I look forward to you joining me on this creative exploration and hope we have lots of fun together along the way.
