[@SheMeetsPaper]

I love your theme for July. The colors, the boarderless art style, the 70s vibe… I’m all here for it

[@PlantBasedBride]

I think I’ll have to revisit that style at some point because I love it, too!

[@JuniperPineJournals]

Same! That was my fave too!

[@kimberlyhuffman3115]

Elizabeth - how far you've come from the person who would never(!) take scissors to any page of your bujo. The canoe/camping theme is my favorite!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha right? Always growing and evolving 😂

[@miranda4073]

omg i LOVED the nancy drew computer games back in the day! nancy going "it's locked!" is etched into my brain forever. the scariest one to me was message in a haunted mansion (i think?), my anxious self struggled with that one.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Omg you just unlocked a memory 😂 I can hear her voice saying “it’s locked” now, too! Mine started in an old theatre, I think? And there was a clue on the balcony and I couldn’t figure out how to get to it without Nancy falling to her death and the sound effects of her landing gave me nightmares so I stopped playing 😂

[@missflorathewriter9014]

@@PlantBasedBride checking off the to-dos, "CHECK" and walking up to a locked door, me and my sister like to quote "I need a key :(" x'D

[@PlantBasedBride]

@@missflorathewriter9014 ok now I seriously need to play the game I had again 😂 I need to figure out which one it was!

[@UnlimitedPocky123]

I still play them religiously

[@UnlimitedPocky123]

​@@PlantBasedBride I think the game you're talking about is The Final Scene

[@KatieDahl]

I love these flip-throughs so much. September was absolutely my favorite as well, the print outs turned out amazing in my journal as well so thank you for those!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh good, I’m glad! You’re so welcome ❤️ thanks for being a patron! 🥰

[@rileyroseinabox6754]

Not sure if you want to use those blank pages, but I love including a scrapbook of things I’ve done throughout the year for some of my pages so when I go back to the journal I can see everything i did that year. Since you traveled for example it might be fun to include photos/reflections/etc in those pages!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh that’s such a fun idea! I’ll have to try to find time to do that ❤️

[@solar1913]

While esthetically I think the September spread is the one I find more « perfect », the July one is the one that is more impactful to me? Maybe the combo of vacation/travel subject and the bold colours grab me in the feel😁and get me to daydream/escape more and I love to daydream of beautiful destinations

[@PlantBasedBride]

That’s so interesting! I’m really attached to that July theme, too. It was so fun to make 🥰

[@JulesIsWatchingStuff]

Great video as always ! I love your bujo and I must say there isn't one theme that I don't love in this journal. They are all gorgeous 😍.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰

[@BreezyRenee333]

September and October were my favorites ❤

[@AngelaCasselman]

9:29 my sister and I love playing the Nancy Drew games, my heart stopped when you said there will be more. I’m going to look it up ❤

[@suzisaintjames]

5:27 I don't have any hints to cut it closer, but this will make it less noticable. Glue all the little cut ends together. Then glue them to one side (which ever side they are more likely to fall). Then camouflage them with matching paint. The bump will still be there, but will be less noticable. Truth is, you don't want to cut so close to remove those ends and weaken the binding of your notebook. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@PlantBasedBride]

I’ll try this, thank you! Yeah my struggle is keeping the binding intact while cutting as close as possible ❤️

[@suzisaintjames]

@@PlantBasedBride gluing the cut ends down will keep that binding in place. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@anesseth1]

I love the postit note graveyard! I have so many graveyards people make fun if me. I am just getting into bujo so learning the ins and outs! Loved the walk thru

[@pine_and_pen]

October was hands down my favorite 😍 loved the dark vibes and the waterfall weeklies!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! Yes those weeklies turned out so cool. I need to do something similar again!

[@ChantelleArts]

what a gorgeous journal, I love the September theme ☺☺☺

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much!

[@akane-chaan]

I actively watch @Gab Smolders play through all the Nancy drew games and she is amazing and the games are very fun. I totally get what you mean about the October setup, it's brilliant!

[@PlantBasedBride]

I love her videos! I’ll have to watch her Nancy Drew play throughs ❤️

[@janalewis3030]

LOVE THE NANCY DREW GAMES! Yes, there is another coming out - Mystery of the Seven Keys. We're still waiting on a trailer and release date. I'm hoping it will be soon - they started putting out a bunch of puzzles for people to solve starting on 4/1/23, but they've slowed down a lot lately. Nancy Drew Walkthroughs did a lot with livestreaming when a new clue came out to solve the puzzle. (He's also from Canada, FYI). You can check those out. :)

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh that’s so fun! I haven’t played any other than the one I had at a kid that thoroughly freaked me out 😂 but I feel like I’d enjoy playing them as an adult!

[@elizabethmorris8639]

"It's Locked" literally can still hear those words 😂 I was never able to find out how to beat that one! Finally watched a full playthrough of it last year to find out the mystery

[@Lubbehobby]

Your work is so beautiful. Love watching your videos❤

[@ginny6485]

Waiting for the reading journal flip through 🥹🥹

[@PlantBasedBride]

I plan on making one at some point!

[@lynnemenard5910]

Post-It graveyard!!? 😮 Genius! I, too, have random pieces of paper (remnants, leftovers from envelopes, etc.) that I transcribe into my BuJo. But I much much prefer the Post-It option! TY, Elizabeth 😊

[@abbielynnjuett4031]

Favorite spreads are October, November, and December. I like seeing your used weeklies. I like knowing I am happy to know each week or day does not to be filled in to be successful. 💚💚💚

[@PlantBasedBride]

Every day is different, right? I feel like people aren’t as critical of themselves for missing a few days in a pre-made planner, for some reason, but it’s totally normal! ❤️

[@jessicarose966]

At 5:26 u asked any tips. Leave like 3/4 of the cut page and paste another one on top of it to hide the cute line

[@marielaliberte8219]

I really like the magpie theme!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! I feel like that one is an underdog haha

[@kellidanny87]

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

[@jordanpens]

The Nancy Drew games mentioned gave me nostalgia flashbacks, I loved playing those when I was younger. The August/Magpie theme is my personal favorite, but Corvidae is my favorite bird family so the bias was there from the beginning. The October spread was moody and atmospheric, giving me the impression of a dark academia mystery/classic novel. September's theme is just breathtaking, your linework is always stunning. July and September's quotes are my favorite. Thank you for the video, hope you have a great day!💜

[@PlantBasedBride]

I’m so pleasantly surprised that y’all know what I’m talking about! I had no idea how obscure they were/weren’t 😂 and thank you! I have a soft spot for the magpie theme, too. My mom loves birds (she studied ornithology in college) so often when I do a bird theme I’m sharing it with her every step of the way 🥰

[@meredithwoody2013]

I played those Nancy Drew games too!

[@FoxMonde]

Wow the first one is so pretty 🥰

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! ❤️

[@dani5165]

Something so fascinating to me is how all of us with adhd have such vastly different needs, and how it shows up in our journals!! I’m a list girl. I need a to do list every single day with the most basic stuff on it, but doing that in the morning while waiting for my medicine to kick in is almost a routine now. all the thoughts bouncing around just turn into a bullet point or dash. I’ve been using a filofax and making my own insert (i hate my handwriting so being able to choose a font is amazing) and having the bullet journal feel again is so liberating (After being in a hobonichi planner for a few months) I love seeing how real you are with your journal! I was wondering if you do long form journaling too, or if you try to have a space outside of your bullet journal (besides just post it’s lolll) Maybe its just me loving books being filled with handwriting, but i’ve found having a book for all those thoughts i put on post it’s has been so much more beneficial for my adhd (plus not feeling like i’m wasting all the paper if im not throwing it away since it’s in a book) and i use it to stim all the time by flipping back and forth in the pages constantly Just some other thoughts i’d had !! ❤❤

[@PlantBasedBride]

We’re definitely all different! And honestly my needs change a lot from day to day, and I have to keep myself entertained/interested by switching things up 😂

[@janineallott7482]

Thank you for the flip through. I am new to journalling and am absolutely in awe of your work. A quick question on the subject of cat hair ... surely any type of work (or even life) is not complete without it??? Please keep sharing your wonderful, creative self, so when I grow up (I'm only in my early fifties), I can hopefully become as good as you.

[@Kdmud]

I can’t pick one over another of your spreads, they are all so lovely! Thanks Elizabeth, I’m in the middle of packing our house and I just told my husband that I thought I might have stop my journaling until we move; your thoughts on that subject really made me feel better! Another wonderful video!🤩👏🏽🧚🏾‍♀️

[@PlantBasedBride]

I’m so glad I could help ease your mind! A move is so stressful and can be overwhelming. You gotta do what you gotta do! I found my moving journal super helpful while moving but I definitely didn’t use my BuJo as much close to move day ❤️ I hope it goes well!

[@Kdmud]

@@PlantBasedBride Thank you ☺️

[@janineallott7482]

Hi there. I hope you are well. I am just watching another KZbin video and came across an idea for dealing with the stubs left after cutting pages in towards the spine - covering the stubs with white washi tape. Now your page (at around 05:30) obviously has artwork/paint on it, but maybe you could cut, cover and then paint over. If you use that method, however, it would probably be better to use a masking tape, which has a stronger adhesive, enabling you to paint over it. Sorry if you have already thought of this/tried it and found it unworkable. Best wishes from a cold, wet Yorkshire that is clinging on to winter harder than a Yorkshireman holds onto his wallet!

[@sophhnavarro]

They are all so unique and beautiful in their own way but that July spread got me bad!

[@PlantBasedBride]

I love that one, too 🥰 I have to do another theme in that style at some point!

[@desireeclark1503]

My favorite spread is October because I like the spooky vibes.

[@PlantBasedBride]

I love a little spookiness/darkness, too ❤️

[@OnniesJournal]

When you get asked to watch a video by adorable cats you go and watch that video.... 😆 🐈‍⬛ Beautiful as always, Elizabeth!!!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha their power is unmatched 😂❤️

[@rhianabrooke]

I wish i had gotten one of the mushroom journals....

[@ArborParva]

I loved the Nancy Drew games as much as I loved this flipthrough

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw haha thank you, what a compliment! Which Nancy Drew game is your favourite? I kind of want to play them again now 😂

[@marilynbemis8706]

Nancy Drew games are elite and you’re cool if you’ve ever played them.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha I love this 😂 I have few cool points so I’ll take it 🤣

[@Secret413]

What do you do with all of you're old journals?

[@PlantBasedBride]

I keep them on a shelf in my office!

[@ShaunaStory]

Gab Smolders streams Nancy Drew games quite frequently. I haven't watched any of them yet, but I think PBB fans would dig her general vibe (she also has a very cute kitty!). kzbin.info/aero/PLGxV8JnoT5Qj9da_YGmdHgV_h-UHeEMiW

[@PlantBasedBride]

I love her videos! I hadn’t seen any Nancy Drew games on her channel but now I’m off to watch some 😂❤️
