Not fully satisfied with cover, but I'm proud that it turned out as well as it did! It was fun (and surprisingly easy) to make book cloth and having hardbound covers is pretty sweet. I think it'll go better next time, now that I know what I'm doing.
Inside the front cover we have some marbled-pattern scrapbook pages for end paper and a page for blank sticky notes.
The end paper was one of the things I was looking forward to the most, because it seemed like it'd be a cool place for decoration and stickers.
And I was right! I'll eventually get more on here, but I didn't want to rush the process. I love how this looks though.
The DQB2 stickers are from @vidramon's store. Excellent as always! Thank you, Vi!
After that, we have the usual several pages of colored card stock for grouping sticky notes onto and the 60 pages of pen & ink sketchbook paper.
Then we hit the actual planner pages! Like usual, they're tiered with navigation dates in the lower and upper margins. Every page has a piece of art and prompts for art, self care/de-stressing, and personal growth.
A new thing I trying in this planner is that all the planner pages are removable and re-insertable (kind of like an arc binder)
The reason is to be able to put the current day in the sketchbook section. That way I can have expanded space for journaling and I'll have a dated system for sketches and notes. I'm aiming for a journal/commonplace book type of deal, but with a planner that actually allows me to plan.
The back of the planner pages has a page for journaling
I was going through some of my old planner formats and came across the "Today I Am" mood tracker which I like better than the RPG Status type mood tracker that I've been using lately. So that's back in.
Also a BGM space to write whatever I'm listening to that day. I think it's cool to look back on that.
After the daily planner, we've got monthly calendars with fields for goals, things I'm looking forward to, and upcoming things with unclear dates.
Anyway! It's done. I'm glad. I swear for my own sanity that I won't wait until last minute next time. Yay.
