Autumn Cottage Bullet Journal Theme | SEPTEMBER 2023 PLAN WITH ME

[@suzisaintjames]

My birthday is September 2nd! Sisters! However, I was never 30. I would only confess to be 29 for at least 6 or 7 years... After that I didn't give my age. 😇. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵 USA. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

[@suzisaintjames]

39:10 some thing that goes well in the space to the right of your tabs is your monthly to do list... Just as you said, putting the trackers on the left keeps them in view all month long, putting the task list to the right keeps you on the path that you designed at the beginning of the month. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@suzisaintjames]

Regarding the blender marker... You can always use the blender to get a good result and then a bit of color on top to saturate the color to bring back the intensity you desire. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@Karen_Tries]

I love that you do different types of bujo themes, it’s so relatable to draw when you feel like it and collage when you aren’t up for drawing too much! ❤

[@balletbookworm]

Oh no, I can pick your journaling style out of a lineup any time! It's so distinctive in the way you layer the paper, stickers, and other ephemera, even if you're not using your own stickers or drawing. Me watching this video: *takes notes on the washi tape you're using bc I have a lot of these and now I know which sets to dig out for my September setup lol* 🍁🍁🍁

[@fijaystudio]

Once, a long time ago, my Dad said (unprompted) that even though he was 68, he still felt 17(!) inside. I'm nearly as old as he was when he said that, now. You have a very interesting planning style, unique. All the collaging and your use of a limited palette is very effective. For age I'm afraid I'm even worse than Dad, and feel 14 sometimes! But mostly I feel 65

[@Rachierooh]

Soooo beautifil, the cover page. Your quote is so true. I am in my 50s and still feel 18 !! As i like to say, " growing old is compulsory, growing up isn't." I still act like a big kid and am just as goofy as i was at 18!!! 🍁xxx

[@rosagapi]

I was constantly drawing cute girls like yours till my early twenties and somehow I was ashamed of it. I can't tell why though... Then I stopped... But now I understand why I wait until I'm alone and cozy to watch your videos: they speak to my inner child That wishes not to be talked laudly and still wants to draw cute girls with not one single worries in their lives. Even when you draw goddesses, they appear to be serene, and not worried at all about being a Sun goddess!!!

[@alet7430]

🍁 Absolutely love that it’s almost fall. Can’t wait for the more coziness and more inside time. In the Netherlands we have the same, when it’s like summer you have to go outside and enjoy those few weeks of good weather as long as it lasts 😂 BTW, really like that you make different kind of bujo themes, because bujo is a creative outlet for yourself ❤ And i always recognize your art by your handlettering and your stickers/drawings regardless of its a heavy draw theme or more of a collage theme ❤

[@brendabignall9926]

🍁 Love your September theme! I love fall colors too! I like that you did all your spreads ahead of time. I hope it helps you in September! Love that you're doing an advent calendar! I did a version with the 12 days of Christmas for my co-workers one year. It was so much fun. They got things like paper clips, sticky notes, candy and pennies. They all enjoyed the fun of it. Love, Hugs & Sparkles! ❤️🫂✨🌻🍂🍁🌾🍃🏵️🌼🌲

[@scarletwillowwood489]

Omg so excited for an advent calendar!!! My only request is that it’s mainly stickers and washi, and maybe a bit of ephemera. Im okay paying a bit more for stuff I’ll use, rather than half of the days being scissors and rulers and stuff. 🍁

[@sarahbodmer5462]

Lizzies Letters who created Mailtober is super lovely and it would be so cool if you joined! Would love to see lots of creations from you :)

[@moonjournal1612]

I love the kind of weather you have at your place, for me its living hell here, because its only summer and extreme temperature for most of the year and then winter is only at the end of the year and the start of the year, barely three to four months and since it's my favorite season I am literally starved every year more than the previous years and since I love rain so much, it barely rains here either so for me you are the luckiest person I can think of 🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@nikkimiascott9950]

Wow these spreads are so gorgeous! Autumn is my favourite season too! 🍂🍁🍄 I sometimes do Inktober which you can do in a variety of ways. I did a standard drawing one and a Zentangle version.

[@gurkmeja2021]

My goodness, I love all your bujo spreads 👍👍🌟👍👍 Gorgeous pages! We also have number of the weeks in Sweden, but I keep forgetting them 😊 Hope you had a nice birthday! 🍁 /Ditte 🤓

[@misskymbo]

I've never seen the dutch doors idea and this video has really inspired me to try this out in my next month's layout! 🍁

[@wendywilltrout]

I love Autumn too and this is one of my favorite setups this year so far! Thank your for the continued inspiration! 🍁🍂🍄

[@elisacurbelo5594]

I love the fall🍁vibes! It's winter changing into spring here in Uruguay, but my brain is still aligned with the Northern Hemisphere. I don't think I will ever adapt to living in the Southern Hemisphere. Once again a beautiful spread.

[@nan7022]

Happy Birthday, Hedda! Awesome theme and spread, as always! 😍 Hey I see nothing wrong with using fall colors for September - November, if you're feeling it. Perhaps you might like to vary the treatment of said colors with each month, or perhaps alter the saturation (or desaturation) of the color palette as the months progress. Re a drawing project, I'm sure others have suggested Inktober to you, but also there are numerous other similar themed/prompted drawing challenges which happen in October/November, which many participants post on Instagram. I've done Inktober in the past, and it's fun, but tbh I don't have enough free time this year to do a drawing every day. So I'll just use that month to focus on a particular drawing project, at my own pace. 🙂

[@jeanrobinson6584]

Lovely as always Hedda…. I too love autumn and cosy vibes. Happy birthday to you ….. I am 71 but my mind still thinks I am 30… my body on the other hand thinks I’m about …… errrr….. 50ish….😀 which is all good! 🥹🍁

[@ThorneyRose]

I’m in my late fifties (have 6 children) and I still feel 12 some days. Also I’ve discovered you never stop wanting your mum to make the bad things go away.

[@vanessabenini7952]

I'm glad you used the stickers I sent you by mail🍁

[@lizking2988]

I dont think you talked too much about getting older at all, I think its awesome to talk about that. I always thought that by thirty I'd be figured out and an adult, and Im almost there and am always figuring it out as I go. There is no right way to do it, just figure things out.

[@Meu_universodepapel]

I'm turning 30 this year too and is strange and exciting at the same time! 🎉😂

[@OldWhistler7743]

Beautiful artwork. Re age…remember the Men in Black film where the jeweller was killed and his cat had the planet on it’s collar? The jeweller was taken for autopsy and when opened up they found a little alien inside working the controls of the body. That’s being old. There is a part of us which is still young, inside an ever aging body. . 😀

[@danielvmayan4508]

Hello - You are a wonderful artist - and I really enjoyed your thoughts on getting older - an experience we all share! Staying creative and true to what you love whatever your age - what a great message to share! Thank you!

[@jaderaven34]

It is an amazing feeling leaving yours 20s behind. I mean, You do end up missing them a little. It's bittersweet

[@christygetscrafty]

Happy Birthday, Hedda! My birthday is also in September, so we are birthday buddies! Your girl drawing is incredible. This one might be my favorite yet. Just a little tip, I hope you don’t mind me sharing, but I’ve been coloring with Copic markers pretty much daily for over twelve years. The colorless blender is a bit of a misnomer. It is actually just pure alcohol, so it doesn’t help blend things, it actually pushes color away. It’s great for cleaning up mistakes or adding designs like polka dots to your images, but it’s terrible to blend colors together. I prefer the darkest to lightest method, so I lay down my darkest shade in the shadow areas, blend with a midtone, and then use my lightest shade for the highlight. Always overlapping the previous shade just a bit, but not going completely over the darker shades with the light because it will bleach it out. Please feel free to continue to do what works for you, but I just thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve learned over the years. My entire channel is devoted to Copic coloring greeting cards. Love what you do!

[@naru-hozon7131]

とっても絵がすてきです。私はあなたのjournalの真似は難しいけれどいつか出来るようになることを夢みます🍁🍁。 The picture is very nice. It's difficult to imitate your diary, but I dream of being able to do it someday.🍁🍁

[@lilli3593]

you have inspired me to start on my Sept spreads on this rainy day! September is my birthday month too!! 🍁🍁 i never noticed before that the girls you draw have never had glasses but as someone who wears them regularly i appreciate that you drew them for this spread 🤍

[@KellyAK]

Beautiful set up!! I love the collage look and the gorgeous autumn colours, I've been waiting to do this season's spreads all year 😂 🍁🍁

[@azerlindak]

Soo sooo pretttyyyy😍❤ I really love your scrapbooking style, and yes fall/autumn season always make me creative too😂

[@riverrain4031]

🍁 warm & cosy vibes

[@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks]

I'm so excited to watch this! Just seeing the thumbnail cheered me up on this dreary day.

[@thebrashbookshelf]

Beautiful 🍁🍁🍁 I like planning all my weeks at the start of the month too

[@TritopusJournal]

After a huge gap from creating, your video definitely gave me inspiration to get up and work on my bujo and other creativity. It was very cosy and and I love the collages and drawings. Even though mid November is the actual autumn (late autumn) with leaves falling off. 😂 but in Bangladesh, we have two autumns. We are heading to the autumn where there’s no rain and lovely sunny days with cottony clouds. So, this theme makes me more excited about the fall! 🍁

[@dinosaur2025]

What a gorgeous setup. Your bullet journal inspires me so much! Perfect to sit with a warm cup of coffee while the weather cools off here in Duluth, MN. 🍁

[@MeowMyselfandI]

Really really love this setup 🍁 the collages are so beautiful and I agree totally cohesive despite using a variety of stuff in them since they all have the same vibe and colours overall. Also, advent calendar 👀 Your stickers are always gorgeous so that's definitely something I'll be keeping an eye on

[@jeannewilliams4285]

I always look forward to your monthly journal set-up videos and this one was so good! The cover page is just beautiful! I love the girl drawing so much. Love all the fall aesthetic and the mushrooms and foxes. And I love your style! I think I could pick it out anywhere. Happy Birthday month! I hope it’s a great one! 🎉🍁 ❤

[@nelesnotes]

I love the set up, I love the video and I think you should always make nearly 50 minute long videos because it's so nice and chill watching them! Also I think that your style is definitely recognizable and pretty outstanding, just the way you collage, mix things, your lettering and drawings... ☺️✨ I get most creative in autumn as well, it's just such an inviting season for creativity 😊 And I hope you'll have a beautiful birthday 🎉🤗

[@PlanningWithNLT]

This is absolutely gorgeous 😍. I plan on doing neutral colors for September also…you’ve inspired me to try a collage type set up. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@SableCatDog]

Happy birthday for this month! I found it really interesting turning 30 - it was the first time I really felt like an adult. Your 20s feel like you've just stopped being a teen, in your 30s you can't tell yourself that any more 😂 Honestly, I'm 37 and my 30s have been the best years of my life! You're going to love it ❤ Your spreads are fabulous as always. Love that you did a girl with glasses, as a glasses wearer myself. Oh! I just got my latest order from your shop btw and the wax melts are GORGEOUS! I'll definitely be getting every set of those you do. Am I a Mochibujo groupie? Oops. I think I am 😂

[@bhanani5480]

I've tried to collage in my planners/journals but I've found out that I'm pretty rubbish at it, so this video has been really useful with collaging tips and I've enjoyed listening to your chatter (I'm at work and need something to listen to)

[@Beckymac365]

Taking notes for my November theme 📝

[@Kirsui]

You have definitely inspired me to try my hand at collaging an entire monthly setup, and adding in some drawings with alcohol based markers. This entire setup is stunningly beautiful. ❤

[@bookhuggah]

🍁🍁🍁🍁 Love this!!

[@loveleejournal1574]

🍁I love that setup sooo much! It’s giving me everything!😍🤎✨ You’re such a great artist hedda!!😘 Now I want to buy the cottage theme stickers from your shop to use them in my October spread!😅 They are gorgeous!!🙏🏽🍂

[@SarahTM2TS]

🍁 I'm a new subscriber to the channel, and your voice and style of filming kept my focus. The theme and layouts are absolutely beautiful. And an idea for a challenge is InkTober!

[@palomzdnss]

This setup is so beautiful! These past months I've been kind of ignoring my bullet journal because I just didn't feel motivated to use it, but since September is also my birthday month lately I started to think about going back and doing a setup, and watching your video just made me even more excited, thank you Hedda!🧡🍁

[@MarcelaChandía]

I loved your theme this month!!! OMG, every spread is so beautiful!!! 😍 I also have a bullet journal and a lot of stationery, but I'm so bad at doing collages 🥲 I also want to say that your words about age were deeply moving, I'm turning 46 in October and even if I'm not concerned with it sometimes it really feels as life is running out. Anyway, sorry for the long commentary, thank you for a wonderful video and happy birthday month!!! ❤🍁🍂

[@Deut1012]

Love how you layered things. And the calendar was great!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

All these spreads are GORGEOUS 🍁🍁🍁

[@jesshilton1977]

🍁🍁🍁Love this monthly spread so much!!!

[@stardust1308]

Hedda, this set up is beautiful ❤ I hope you will have an amazing birthday month. I must tell you that when I turned 30 three years ago, it was a strange feeling but now I am convinced that being in my 30s is the best time of my life 😄😊

[@pamelasmith7120]

🍁 This is just beautiful, I used dutch doors For September too, also my birth month :)

[@hinata0132]

🍁This set up is soo cute and creative. My goal one day but currently my journal is basic lol

[@pilesofthings]

maple lea 🍁 Was also journalling while watching. Beautiful spreads! 🥰

[@mooncraftbujo]

I'm so excited for a shop advent calendar!! I can't wait 😊

[@deboramissoorten6765]

🍁 What a wonderful September set up , a great way to get inside more and for me to support to enjoy shorter daylight more as it always feels a bit 'sad' at the start of autumn in a way , it looks as you have a real ephemera 'paradise' at hand 😊 🍀

[@bujobyfilo]

I'm drooling, everything looks so cute 🍁😍

[@karengamboa6524]

Happy Birthday Hedda - I hope you had a great day! I love your creativity!🎂🍾🎉

[@colleennewton7882]

Love this month Hedda, stunning. I’m not normally a collage person but you’ve inspired me to print my Fiona award and get sticking 🍁

[@PositiveThoughtsCA]

I loved this Hedda!! I think I'm going to try it out for October! since I already created my September and posted it on my channel already lol 🍁🍁🍁
