APRIL BULLET JOURNAL SETUP 💜 Cherry blossom theme bujo

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hi team! 💜 thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed today’s video 😄 to safeguard myself from having to “scramble” for a theme idea in May, I thought I’d see if you guys had any suggestions 😊 any themes you want to see me tackle?

[@Zahrah.M]

May is my birthday month and its gemstone is emerald, and since you like geometric shapes... it could work haha

[@irajainijworld7291]

I've 3 theme ideas that is love you to make especially the 1st one! 1. A tropical theme - you could have vibrant colours like yellow and green, pastel pink and then have tropical fruit doodles, beach doodles maybe even flamingos. 2. Sun theme - you can have different doodles of the Sun and maybe like rays of the Sun etc. 3. A sky/clouds theme - Gradient skies with watercolour (if you've gotten comfortable with watercolour) and then pretty clouds etc.

[@KendraReadsTomes]

It’s world turtle day 23rd of May and also it’s international dawn chorus the 1st May so a bird theme? Xx

[@happyplace9372]

Have u done a sushi 🍥🍣 theme b4? X

[@amandabradley1384]

It's autumn there. Maybe a cozy theme like coffee/tea?

[@VioletToadstool]

The stop-motion with the habit tracker labels was so cute

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜 trying to incorporate some more visual interest during my filming/editing!

[@willkroon3372]

My theme for april is centered around emo/punk music since the lead singers for panic at the disco, my chemical romance and fall out boy all celebrate their birthdays in april.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha that’s such a cool coincidence! They were my favourite bands in high school 😛💪💜

[@chrish4991]

My April theme is butterflies. May is books and blooms. June is Polaroids. July is the ocean and beach. August is tea. September is mason jars and baby’s breath. October is science specimens and anatomy. November is mushrooms. December’s theme is animals tracks in the snow.

[@Margot_Lazarus]

I'm doing a 60's inspired theme. I'm super excited for the mood tracker because it's a lava lamp

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh that sounds awesome 😄💜

[@tristins9644]

turned out great for someone who says they aren't always good at organic shapes! i love how artistic creation helps us question what we think we know are our limits

[@Volksfest]

My theme of for April is "it's all about balance"/ Ying Yang represented by Sun and rain which are creating a rainbow together. The weather elements fit perfect since we have nearly all seasons in Germany during April and I needed an reminder that bad things happen in life and need to happen in order to appreciate the good ones.

[@annamichelle3248]

My theme for April is floral- tropical flowers and butterflies.

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

My April theme is baking. It was a stick kit I’ve been sitting on for a long time that I decided to finally use.

[@BelieveMe0rNot]

For April, my theme is Autism Awareness, which is near and dear to my heart. For May, I think I am doing stained glass and Spirographs. I also get to start my new Archer and Olive journal in May. Thanks for all of your inspiration!

[@debra9916]

I love your color combination together with the craft paper. You spreads always look so pretty and clean. My April theme is Peppermint Patty from Peanuts.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! I haven’t seen anyone do a Peppermint Patty theme before 😦💜

[@amandabradley1384]

I've been wanting to do a cherry blossom theme for a long time but every time I doodle them, they just never look quite right. It would be awesome if you could make a quick cherry blossom doodle tutorial 😊

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

I love the cherry blossom wreaths! I'm trying some different things this month. Its only my 2nd month of bullet journaling, so I'm still finding what works for me. I did weekly habit tracking last month, but this month I decided to try a monthly version. I've also changed up from weekly spreads for my daily logs to a looser, write in the days as I have things to add (rolling daily?), style. I'm using an old notebook with a bunch of empty pages for now. If I find I still like it when the end of the year comes, I'll get a fresh journal for 2023.

[@prettypeach13]

My theme is butterflies!!! Specifically blue ones! Last month, I used only green for my spreads, so I decided to the same thing but with a couple more doodles!

My theme last month was so art-heavy, I wanted to chill and truly doodle this month. I decided on abstract floral blobs lol Should I not even feel like popping in a doodle, a nice color scheme is all I need to feel the month is tied together. I love your April - the typewriter font looks so nice against the craft paper tape.

[@verafernandes4913]

Thank you for your ALWAYS inspiring videos, I’ve made two April themes, for my journal florals, for the second rainbow and clouds, as a matter of fact today is cloudy and rainy, just waiting for the rainbow as it is spring season here in Connecticut.USA.

[@chaXolon]

I like this 😊 „Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.“ 🙃

[@JashiiCorrin]

I've since making this video found SO many more people doing the cherry blossom / sakura theme 😋💜 Go 'team florals' 💪

[@sophiahodgson85]

“Florals for Spring? How original...” ha ha ha ha!! I love that film! I’m using a cherry blossom 🌸 theme in my bullet journal as April is usually when the Cherry blossom viewing parties take place in Japan. Loving your spreads!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Woohoo, team florals! 💜🥳

[@rl9789]

My theme for April is vintage frames. Love the character of these type of frames. They say a picture can convey 1000 words, but these frames can shout over a picture. As for a May theme, I thought of 2 ideas. Moving (like moving from one residence to another - guess what I'm doing - Yuck! hate moving). The 2nd idea was buildings. I wonder about the different conversations buildings can have (i.e. - what a church would say to a hospital). Yep, go ahead & say it "You're weird." It's true......I am.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha it’s an interesting concept though; kinda like the whole “if these walls could speak” kinda thing 😄💜

[@bethandbeyond1]

I was feeling wildly uninspired as well. I ended up doing a scrapbook style Gilmore Girls theme with printables so I didn't have to draw anything. The scrapbook style is a big departure for me. It was fund once, but I don't think I could commit to it full time.

[@Anigmandra]

My theme is a typical april one. I did and easter and bunny theme. I like the Coverpage the most!

I was inspired by you and might do a nautical theme for April. But who knows. I still haven’t finished my February and March monthly spreads 😆

[@verafernandes4913]

As for my my weekly layout, I've included more categories based on my Jan - March usage. I'm including a Self-care checklist/tracker, water intake, meals and including achievable goals,, not adding vacuuming as yet for April, I'm not a fan because you start in one room, say the basement, them I'm on the third floor and so exhausted I can barely bring the vacuum back to the basement. I'm also including a health/mood tracker for health reasons. I love your dutch door layout but I'm just not there yet to cut my expensive pages from my journal. Thanks for the time taken to create your videos.

[@angelacollins8]

Love this theme and especially the kraft paper layers! 🌸 You and mochibujo have inspired me to try this next month! For April though, I was inspired by the Archer & Olive sub box and did a hot air balloon theme. Having fun working with stamps and acrylographs for the first time, too!

[@ravent3016]

Bucket list: How about try a new recipe, read a nonfiction/self-help book, try a new technique in art, write a poem or read a poetry book, take a walk in a new place, learn a song or a piece of music if you play an instrument, and write a letter to someone you love.

Thanks Emmi! It’s a shame when themes don’t turn out quite the way we wanted them 😅💜 but at least there were still pages you liked! 😄

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! Hoping it brings you those calming vibes! 🤞💜

[@wendybird.]

Hi Jess! I don't normally copy your layouts, however, I love learning from you each week. Your ideas often help me develop my own ideas as I go. Love that! This month though inspiration was not forthcoming so I decided to try your layout directly. I've never really drawn much in my journal, or anywhere really, before so I thought it would be fun. Would you consider showing us which numbered Tombow you are using for which part in future videos? It's normally pretty clear as the colors are generally different but this month was pink on pink. I know which ones you used - helpful link in the doobly-doo - but being artistically hampered as well as missing one color... I struggled a bit to figure out which one went where. It's great being part of your team

[@JashiiCorrin]

Good thoughts Wendy! Can certainly aim for that in future videos 😄💜 love having you as part of the team!

[@prettyllamaplans]

I've yet to film the process but it'll most likely come out on Friday.

[@CoffeeAndCatvrix]

Funny enough, my theme for this month is loosely related to your Bee theme from February! However, I've done the added bonus of adding in florals that bees love in gardens as well, so things like mint, foxglove, and lavender. Unfortunately my spreads aren't done yet though, because I've been away from my supplies whoops. XD

Wow! Truly...Wow!! I love this spread! It is so beautiful and all the different elements look simply amazing. You think your idea is typical? Well I have you beat. I’m thinking about doing a Peeps (bunnies) and jelly beans theme. Even though Easter will be over after the first week, I just want to do a pastel theme and thought Jelly Beans in a jar would make a cute mood tracker. A monumental change is happening at work so my brain feels a bit like a bowl of jello, so I don’t even know if I will be able to get a theme done properly and may just have to stick to the basics with lists with color and no doodles. Will just have to see if I have the energy to take the time to do it. Another great video though and thanks for sharing!

I drew a whack more cherry blossoms than you did, and I'm pretty sick of drawing them! Haha For May, I'm thinkiing of doing something Asian inspired (inspired by Amanda Rach Lee) in solidarity with the folks in that community in light of the recent increase in hate. We have a new Red Panda named, of all things, Sakura, so that might be perfect!!

[@huinismith]

Hello, Jess! As it is autumn here as well, this means the world will soon turn into a boring palette of muted colours (Why are winter clothes so dull?). I desperately need vibrant colours, so I decided that my theme for April would be mainly polka-dots and wavy lines. My inspiration for the palette (bright red, orange, lilac, pink) came from... the beads of my mask holder (facepalm)!

This video came at the perfect time! I need to use a cherry blossom kit i bought last year and wanted to do something similar but not exactly like mochi bujo's -- that monthly spread is definitely going to be included!! 2 questions - is there a reason you didn't include a master task list? And I remember you saying that having the dutch door of the productivity icons in the past caused you trouble, is there a reason you brought it back?

[@JashiiCorrin]

Previously I used the Dutch door for the icons but mainly had an issue when it went all the way to the top of the page 😛 just cause then I couldn’t see my titles and it bothered me, haha This time I’m using the Dutch door for a 2 lines a day and mood tracker section 😊 normally I like to have larger task lists on my weeklies rather than in my monthly set up.

Depends on which type of paper; the printer paper sections there’s not a lot of difference as that paper is much thinner than the Archer & Olive, while the craft paper tape I used is a bit thicker (not sure how thick though!) so there’s a bit of a ridge to pay attention to there 😊 sometimes I use brown paper bags instead with are less of an issue given thinness 😄

Probably a question that's been answered before. But, I never see smears on your black lines. Is that a super fast drying time? (If it's already answered In a video just point that way. 😉) I also did Spring, basically April Showers Bring May Flowers, for my theme. Happy Planning.
