January Bullet Journal Set Up ✨ Purple Fantasy Theme | Mystery Journal

[@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks]

Erin, I hope I’m not overstepping here but I wanted to let you know that your videos are a real comfort to me. I have really high anxiety and watching your bullet journal and reading journal content helps with that. I think you make beautiful art and while I will never make a bullet journal your content is something that makes my days a bit easier. I know I’m not alone in that. I hope your holiday season is not too hot (the last time I was in Australia it was +45 and being that I am from Canada that was a lot!) and that you have a great 2025.

Erin, I know I say this every video but this set up is STUNNING! Purple is my fave color with pink a close second so this is perfect for me. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

[@julias.3835]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the thumbnail. It’s THAT beautiful. Wow.

[@AkairoAoihonoSama]

I love purple so much, it's a beautiful set up

[@rayzephayze6399]

i would literally pay for this omg so pretty

[@cjwallace2149]

LOVE watching you put together spreads!!! So gorgeous!! I have had my journals mostly set up since about early november. I thought it would take longer than it did, so i've been neglecting my current journals because i just want to start my new ones! 😅

[@steppy3736]

8:02 I *really* like the vinyl over the calendar days! It looks similar to highlighters but it's different enough that it really grabs your attention.

[@ErinSmith]

Isn’t it fun! I’ve done pink and purple themes a few times and I always pull this trick out 🤣

[@Illuminaminam]

Prettiest aesthetic ever! I love this so much!!! 💜🪻💜🪻💜🪻

[@dr.janaleewagner1177]

So beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@KellyAK]

Oh wow, this is gorgeous! Adore the colours and the pet tapes, so beautiful 💜

[@teddybeeandme]

Another stunning set up with a truly beautiful and calming colour pallet.... it's watching the master at work 💜

[@shanyavirasinghe8591]

Oh how beautiful! I love purple and spent 2024 including an element of the same shade of purple on the cover of my journal in every monthly set up. Wish I could have included this one! Beautiful ❤

[@ErinSmith]

That’s such a lovely way to have a through-line in your journal! 😍

[@virginiamohlere6390]

This aesthetic is an absolute dream!

[@Jen_9609]

This is so pretty.

[@loveladyq]

I'm in love with this theme. my favourite colours combination!

[@ChaptersWeLove]

So beautiful!

[@riapichay]

Just started into the video but I am OBSESSED with this color scheme. It’s most bolder than I’m used to seeing from you. I love that the mystery journal allows us to see how you approach different themes. Also yay to all the gold gilding stationary showing up in your spreads!

[@ErinSmith]

Aww thank you so much! I do adore some gold gilding 😍 I originally thought silver might win out for this theme but gold got me again!

[@danielarosindo]

Its jusr stunning, the purples are everything ❤❤

[@charlottemalone7375]

“Even if you had a terrible day you still made something cute” - I relate to this so hard ❤ Beautiful spreads!!

[@sunfastrose]

You are killing me with that gorgeous washi, I might have to make another Journalsay order.

[@ErinSmith]

I am a terrible influence! Sadly they don’t have the PET tape in stock anymore but I found it on another site. I really hope Journalsay restock it!

[@emillyw5622]

I think this theme is one of my favourites, it’s absolutely stunning ❤❤❤

[@TheBellastella]

Such a gorgeous setup! Love the dreamy feel of it, and the colors are just perfect!

[@DAYbreaking_Ideas]

Very pretty setup! I think I’m going to throw my hat into the ring for the next mystery journal. Your artistic style is very unique and ethereal.

[@alliberry]

I have that vinyl pink-to-yellow shiny paper that you use at 7:30 as a washi tape!

[@ErinSmith]

Oh no way! That would be a much more convenient delivery system 🤣

[@TeresaKhon]

I love that set up, but I’m a huge fan of purple and butterflies, so that could be why. I also appreciate the few mistakes that were made (and fixed) because I’m very stressed out about ruining my journal that it helps me to know mistakes can be fixed easily and the journal still looks beautiful! I just started bullet journaling and have only started a reading journal so far, but hope to start my 2025 journal soon. I’m still waiting on some more supplies to be delivered. I’m a bit of a sticker, paper hoarder and always need more pretty! 💜🦋

[@mindyfranke5279]

Very pretty! Waiting for my A&O journal to arrive so I can set up January.

[@EveBettyJ]

Hello Erin, I have been following you for several months and I am delighted to have discovered you. I also have a bullet journal and your pages with all these stickers are very inspiring for me. Thanks for sharing, Best regard, (from France)

[@ErinSmith]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here 🥰

[@juliangelus]

That has to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There's something about the colours that is so restful and eyecatching. Great video :)

[@lenebrinkmann8119]

Gorgeous, stunning ❤

[@Haffina]

Fabulous setup. I love your creativity.

[@mopete9830]

Yeah I'm almost all set up in my journals for next year. I need to fix my stats for the year page for my reading journal, but I think screenshots from storygraph will do. Digital journaling means page set up goes super fast but decorations can be added later which is great.

[@DaraV730]

Hi Erin! I'm a relatively new subscriber but this is my first time commenting. This was absolutely gorgeous! I'm not big on butterflies either, but this was stunning.

[@sassysuzy4u]

Another beautiful spread! I'm sorry if you have been asked this a million times but what pen are you using on the stamps? I tried to see but was never able to get it paused right.

[@ErinSmith]

I use all sorts of pens with my stamps - in this video it’s one from the ArrtX metallic paint marker set, they’re linked in the description - but the same pen I used for the January title 🥰 paint markers work really well, especially if they have a brush tip! You can also use regular markers like Tombows on rubber stamps but they don’t work so well on clear stamps 💕

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

What is the marker you use to paint thr stamps?

[@ErinSmith]

It’s one of the ArrtX metallic paint markers 💕they’re linked in the description, I added a little note to make them easier to find but any brush tip paint marker would work!

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

@ErinSmith thank you

[@Lady0asis]

Can someone link the purple device to cut paper?

[@inkacat863]

How can i find the PET tape on Journalsay? Whats the name

[@ErinSmith]

It’s not on their site anymore 😭

[@inkacat863]

​@@ErinSmith😢noooo, is there a chance it comes back?

[@ErinSmith]

I don’t think so - sometimes they just go ‘out of stock’ but this one is a 404 server error now 😭

[@inkacat863]

@@ErinSmith okay 😥 Still thank you for the fast answer 🫶

I just received a box filled with items I ordered during the Journalsay Black Friday sale. I'm completely new to the journaling thing, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am a Bible study person, so I do a variety of things related to the Scriptures. I am going to try to use a bit of creativity in my effort to organize the different methods I use when I study, and I am already looking at the random papers I got in the box as pages on which I can write Scriptures from sermon notes. I also bought a lot of washi tape, so I definitely won't run out of ways to affix the paper to the sermon notes page! The really scary thing is that I am still waiting for my Erin Condren order, and I can't remember what I ordered! :)
