Dutch doors abound in this flip-through of a Notebook Therapy bullet journal!

Enjoy this flip-through of my latest bullet journal that I kept in a Notebook Therapy Tsuki notebook from October 2023 to February 2024.
There are different types of dutch door setups everywhere, papercrafts including pop-ups and slides that reveal secrets. There's painting with watercolours, painting with acryclics, using decorative papers, stamping, and just simple old colouring in.
I know you'll love looking at this journal flip-through, as much as I do 💛
The Notebook Therapy journal stood up to the punishment, so an A+ for durability.

Fabulous!! Love the Dutch door /layered spreads!!!❤

Thanks so much! 😊

This one looks really cohesive, it makes for a really nice flipthrough, I think 😊. About the January theme, I agree with you that it's one of your best! I think maybe the reason it didn't do as well is probably because you can't convey in a thumbnail how fun the little surprises at each new page were. I, for one, was very happy to see it again! And I'm very much looking forward to the new bullet journal, now.

Thank you, and yes it is hard to sell a dutch door in a thumbnail! I'm glad you enjoyed the flip-through 🧡

Love the "Girl in the Window" tab. How creative!

I’m so glad you like the girl in the window - it was one of my favourites in that journal.

That’s beautiful!

Thank you. I really love how this journal turned out 💙

[@helenemadsen1424]

OMG soo beautiful. It must take so much time to do. You are amazing 🌸☀️

[@theusefuljournal]

Thanks so much 😊 Some of them take a while, especially if there's lots of drawing as well, but I love doing it and it relaxes me (most of the time!).

This was so cute. I got inspired to create some similar spreads ❤ Hope you made your weight loss goal, and if not, that's okay. It took me 3 years to go from 103 to 65 and it was worth it!!

[@theusefuljournal]

I’ve been on a pause with my weight loss but I’m trying to get back on it. Congratulations on yours - great effort! I’m so glad you liked the layouts. I loved how this journal turned out ☺️

Thanks for sharing, your journal is beautiful! I've been looking for inspiration on how I want to set up my pages in my daily journal. Right now I'm doing two-columns per page, which I like, but I found your November really interesting where it seems you divided the two pages into thirds almost. Then you switched to one column per page for other months. I'm wondering if you decided you didn't like it, or preferred one over the other, or just want to keep it different depending on the month?

[@theusefuljournal]

Thank you! Great question. In November there were five days per double page spread and I either wrote across or down to make the widths and lengths all different. It’s perfect for a 30 day month but does mean you don’t have your ‘weeks’ together. I do like it though! In December and January, I still had five days per double page spread, but just wrote as much as I needed to on the single page before starting the next day’s entry. The November version is prettier, the December version is easier to manage! I like both though and it’s just a bit less to write than two days per page, which was a bit too much for me. 🤔 I also wanted a setup that didn’t dictate how much I had to write - now if I have a dull day I don’t write much and there’s more room for the big day 👍 There’s usually at least one big day every five days!

[@Sephalia]

​@@theusefuljournalGotcha! Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I'm grappling with whether I want to determine in advance how much I'll write and put aside a set number of pages, or if I want to leave it open and have less structure / less ability to plan spreads in advance. I'm kind of leaning towards the latter, but I may try something different for March and see how it goes....

[@theusefuljournal]

That’s what I like about bullet journaling - the freedom to try different layouts!
