I don’t celebrate Halloween but I love the spreads vibe ( vintage, newspaper, black ink print, line art and the house & trees you illustrated so beautifully done, elegant 🩵

[@JournalAway]

Awww thank you so much! 🥰❤️

[@artsandcraftsworld63]

​@@Jobailey02 what ??

[@hannahcarmichael]

Wow! I'm impressed! The house from Psycho is ICONIC! Your creativity is pretty amazing when creating these bullet journals! I've been binging your videos and I'm obsessed! ❤

[@blakeley-shea]

I absolutely LOVE your artwork! Your ability to draw what you see is something I’ve always wanted to be able to do! Great video!

[@rachelkeerie8853]

This might be my favourite October spread of all time. Thankyou so much for sharing!!

[@МаринаИвченко-к9т]

Вы умеете делать чудеса своими руками, смотрела и наслаждалась

[@madisonalexis6969]

This is lovely! Hope your vacation is nice! The line style shading you used is a technique called cross-hatching (or just hatching if all the lines are going in the same direction) ! ☺☺

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥹❤️ Ohh and yeah, that does make a lot of sense 😂

[@ellaconner9452]

I lived in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii for 3 yrs. I hope you guys have a great time. Love the theme and thr art! TFS

Wow that's so cool! 🤩 And thank you so much! 🥹❤️

You're so sweet, thank you! 🥹❤️

[@katrintopkin]

just lovely spooky bujo 😍 It also ties into inktober. I too, chose dark theme, but with muchrooms and witchcraft.

[@FrostKitty]

Do you have a channel or Instagram - I am going to through a mushroom phase

[@JournalAway]

That sounds so pretty! 😍 And thank you! 🥰

[@rozettemori]

My God, this looks AMAZING! I'm spechless, honestly. This theme is so unique, elegant but spooky at the same time and drawings are just the best. I love your channel and your videos. You are such a inspiration! Thanks to you and your guides I starter to use paints im my bujo and I feel much more comfortable while doing it. Thank you for all of that ❤

[@JournalAway]

Omg thank you so much for all the kind words!! 🥹❤️ You're so sweet and I'm so happy to hear that the videos have been helpful!

For someone who didn't know that the style of shading you're doing is called "cross-hatching" you are extremely good at it! 😳 I LOVE this spread!!!! It's just gorgeous! I'm going to subscribe and check out your other videos!

[@JournalAway]

Haha English is not my native language so there're a lot of words like this I never came across 😄 But thank you so much for letting me know, and also for the kind words 🥹❤️

[@majbanh6126]

I really love this theme! Skulls are so beautiful. I saw the actual house used in the movie, and it is tiny to make Norman Bates look huge next too it.

[@JournalAway]

Haha I had no idea! 🤣 And thank you so much! 😍

[@DAYbreaking_Ideas]

Love the aesthetic. Wish I saw the fall box before I bought my friend her Xmas gift. I’ll have to bookmark your shop

At first I thought you were going to do an Addams Family spread. I still love how it turned out🧡

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

[@trippingthewasteland]

lol, I just finished my October set up and I did a full Psycho theme 😀 The Bates house is classic and I really liked watching your drawing process.

[@JournalAway]

Ohhh nice! 😄 That must be such a cool setup!

[@brynnabailermango]

this turned out incredible!! I love it :) your tip about leaving negative space in the outlines of your dark house was profoundly helpful and I would've never known it was intentional if you hadn't explained it as you went. awesome video 💜

[@JournalAway]

Ohh I'm happy to hear it was helpful! 😊 Thank you so much, it means a lot 🖤

[@louisetoller]

Love how this theme turned out! And you drawing the skull came at just the right time, because I have a skull to draw in my journal and watching your process was so helpful 💀

[@JournalAway]

Ohhh perfect! 🤩 And thank you so much! 🥰

[@julielavers3394]

What an amazing spread! LOVE your trees!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 😍❤️

[@MrsTitina]

It’s called cross hatching 😊

[@JournalAway]

Ohhh thank you! 😊

[@nelesnotes]

This turned out so beautiful - eh spooky... Beautifully spooky! And I'm not even into halloween that much 😅 but I really loved seeing something different from you 😊

[@JournalAway]

Awww thank you so much! 🥰 I'm glad to hear that!

[@windylibby3515]

The drawing style you were referring to is called “cross-hatching”. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! You’re so talented!! 🥰❤

[@JournalAway]

Ahh, that makes sense! 😄 Thank you so much! 🥹❤️

[@blandae5670]

Hi Anna, I love the font that you used in these spreads. How do actually put it in? Do you use tracking paper or measure what line goes where? I'd love to see a tutorial on how to transfer the font picket for the theme into the journal

[@gurkmeja2021]

Such GORGEOUS spreads 🎃🎃✨️🎃🎃 You're so talented! Back in the 80's I spent 8 months on Oahu (only one day in Maui). It has probably changed so much that I would have a hard time recognizing it! I really liked that the people were so calm and relaxed. The scent of the flowers - AMAZING! 🌺 Hope you & your husband had a wonderful time in Hawaii. /Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much, Ditte! 😍❤️ Oh, the calm and relaxed atmosphere was probably the best part! We had absolutely wonderful time, everything was so beautiful! 😍

[@rosemaryortega9879]

WOW!!! 🎉❤😊

[@cammiesuzuki7749]

LOVE IT!!

[@JournalAway]

THANK YOU! 😄❤️

[@lincolneyar8269]

These ink drawings really fit not only with Halloween but also for Inktober. Also, just curious what is your Japanese level?

[@JournalAway]

Ohhh I didn't even realize that, haha! 😄 I've passed the N2 some years ago. I can watch some easier Japanese shows/movies without subtitles and read manga in Japanese. I'd say that my everyday Japanese is pretty good but recently I've wanted to start studying the more difficult stuff again, maybe even take N1 just for my own amusement (I don't need it for anything, though) 😄

[@damattice23]

👏 👏👏👏👏👏. LOVE it!!!!!!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰

Magnifique 😍

[@tess3000]

I can’t wait to finish watching this, I love your usual more colorful themes but this soooo speaks to the other side of my heart!! 🖤 Edit: have a wonderful honeymoon!! It will be beautiful there in Hawaii :)

[@JournalAway]

Awww thank you so much! 😊 Haha and I totally get what you mean 🖤

[@shallahharbaugh243]

This type of shading is called: cross hatching. I really like this month's bujo.

[@JournalAway]

Ahh thank you so much! Makes sense, lol 😂 And thank you so much! 🥰

[@carlienvandernet7902]

This looks really great. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but I do love the theme and the way you draw it with black pens. The music behind it really fitted as well. And overhere I had some extra scary sounds….the crows outside were calling me for some food 😅. Have a great time in Hawaii ❤❤.

[@JournalAway]

We've had crows around our house too and man they're scary! 😂 Thank you so much, you're very kind! 🥰❤️

[@carlienvandernet7902]

@@JournalAway I feed the crows on my balcony. It means that I have to clean my balcony quite often, but I don’t care. I just love them.

[@ivamijatovic3419]

Will this theme be on your website for purchase? I love it so much but I don't have the talent to recreate it.

[@JournalAway]

Yes, it will! 😊 I will add it there tomorrow (Tuesday here in Japan).

[@mrsmoodle]

Is this the house from bates motel series? X

[@JournalAway]

I don't know if it's the same house, but this is from the movie Psycho (the old horror movie) 😄

[@mrsmoodle]

@@JournalAway ah, yes it is the same house. I knew I recognised it. I've been doing more ink drawing lately so its great to watch your technique x

[@MrsTitina]

I don’t celebrate Halloween and don’t like the theme at all, but this was a great job 👏🏻

[@JournalAway]

Haha I know it's not for everyone 😅 Thank you, still! 🥰

[@brendabignall9926]

I'm not a spooky or Horror fan. I am a fan of architecture and trees. I enjoyed your theme and simply skipped the skull part. Love, Hugs & Sparkles! ❤️🫂✨

[@JournalAway]

I'm glad you could still find parts you liked here! 😊 Thank you so much! ❤️
