Journal Love

Beautiful journals of every kind

[din0butch]

“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.

definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.

lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.

maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.

photos

take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.

illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.

newspaper clippings from the day.

tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.

postcards

records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.

rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.

count. there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.

mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.

collages

pressed leafs and flowers

your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.

recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.

stickers

comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

October Bullet Journal & Book Journal spreads 🎃

[galina]

Do you keep a commonplace book? It’s not entirely a journal or a scrapbook – it’s more a carefully curated notebook compiled of texts copied from anywhere and everywhere. It can contain anything as long as it affects the compiler. I’ve had this one since I was 16, it is reserved for my most favourite lines from poems, books, songs, films, etc.

09-05-18 Updating with a new content after ages, my bad. 😅 Hello everyone! Here is my bujo for the month of May, spread from last week. I’ve been into multi-tasking these past few weeks, studying while re-watching the sequel of Harry Potter and yes, i’m not so much into it (lol). It’s a shame for a 19-year-old like me to watch the whole story of HP and find it very amazing! I’m so amused with the story up to the character and cinematic! That is why my theme last week was inspired by the movie. :) I’ve been also planning to make another bujo like this but not right now coz finals week is approaching! I am currently studying Cell and Molecular Biology bec. we’ll be having our exam there this coming friday, so yep. I just updated everyone and now have to go back to studying. Hoping for everyone’s success for today! :D wish me luck studyblogger! 🙏🏻

Getting back into bullet journaling after a few months! 📒 I picked up this beautiful new journal at Barnes and Noble and just had to fill it with pretty things. 🍃🌿 So far I’m loving it; the cover is so pretty, it has gilded pages, a ribbon marker, and thick dot grid pages that don’t have any bleeding or ghosting! 🖋 I’ll try and post some pics of my spreads soon
