PLAN WITH ME | April 2023 Bullet Journal Setup | Butterfly Theme 🦋

For April 2023 (which is by the way my birthday month) in my bullet journal I decided to make a theme with blue butterflies and daisies 🦋✨ I’m recreating an older theme I made in April 2021 with blue butterflies and kraft paper and I’m happy to say I think this turned out much better 👀 I hope you enjoy seeing me setting up my April theme and enjoy this video!

For April I went with butterflies and daisies 🦋 I went a bit outside my comfort zone with this theme but in the end I love it way more than I thought! I had some issues with the audio as there’s a slight pop-sound and I’m really sorry about that! I hope it doesn’t bother you too much 🥰

[@iptfan45]

Very good job

[@nuchzara97]

Your journals are like art museum. Thx. So cool.

[@slvva]

May in my country is a month that is known for school exams, blooming lilac bushes and red poppies. April reminds me of birds' nests, nature awakening to life and Easter😊

[@demep488]

Had to think about an idea for May. Possibly a migratory bird. Or a bird stamp. Loved the video🦋

[@carlienvandernet7902]

It looks amazing 💙🦋💙, especialy the vains and borders on the wings make them so realistic. For me May stands for new born animals so maybe that is an idea.

[@dreenyan]

Happy to have caught at least a part of the premiere 🦋

[@Tiinasdiary]

Oh thank you so much for joining, even for a small moment 🤍 It’s always appreciated 🥰

[@tabithadehaan8405]

I really enjoy this theme Tiina! For May, I don't know but when you started talking about it I thought about cute bears... lol. Maybe bears mixed with honey (Winnie the pooh like) or something else. Or maybe foxes.... I love your nature themes a lot!

[@ranalaham2522]

So beautiful Tina. Thank you❤I saw many butterflies but yours are amazing.

[@riotthill]

🦋 Love the water colouring 😀

[@danjadance8647]

So beautiful! Please do flowers in may!

[@melissagaisser9804]

I just started my first bullet journal and went with butterflies for my April theme as well. Keeping it relatively simple since I'm just starting out and mostly used 🦋 washi tape and stickers, though I did draw one by hand.

[@sherryblack7586]

Using the old adage, “ April showers bring May flowers.” Why don’t you do something with flowers for May. BTW, your artwork is lovely.😊 🦋

[@juliabeautz4199]

For me, April will always be butterfly themed. 🤍 My Grandpa died in April 2021 and it is kind of a family thing, every time we see a butterfly we feel like grandpa's with us❤ so April is always dedicated to my grandpa in my bullet journal❤

[@claudiafialhostudio]

This looks really beautiful, I’m with you when it comes to May, it’s always a weird month, but maybe keep it on the spring floral side of it, I might do it floral, or collage theme and use stickers, still not sure, wanted to make something fun with the cover, with a cut out, still thinking about it. For April my theme is daisies, I painted with gouache. I wanted to try watercolour in the journal thought, so might do that for May, still thinking what to do for it. ❤❤❤ congrats on finishing the sketchbook, your paintings look always amazing. ❤

[@ellaconner9452]

🦋. Pretty butterflies. TFS

[@MiuFiuStudio]

Hey I’m like nr 300 😁 I love round numbers 😂 hope you will get many more likes for this beautiful spread! ❤

[@mikyl99]

Loved how beautiful and simple this setup was! I really want to do more sketching/drawing, so I think for April my theme will be contemporary dancers 🦋😁

[@kasualkylie3039]

Stunning! I'd love to see more butterflies/ dragonflys, wild flowers etc. Would be beautiful too ❤❤

[@piggiespatch]

Such a beautiful spread 🌼

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

You make me want to paint 🦋.

[@anerdeeeplanner757]

For May it is usually when the tulips are in bloom so I usually go with that for a theme.

[@cintiaborgess]

Beautifulllll beautifull!!!!!!!

[@eevalilja6850]

Wow! 🦋

[@karenmabe9819]

Your spreads came out beautifully! I would love to see you do purple pansies for May. They always remind me of my Mom. 🦋

[@KellyAK]

🦋 this is so pretty!

[@AnneEriksson-so4qf]

🦋 Lovely!🦋

[@teddybeeandme]

So annoyed with myself that I missed your premier. This is stunning... I love butterflies. Last year's was gorgeous but this is a step up. Every page is beautiful. A very calming video to watch 🥰🦋

[@iptfan45]

🦋 lovely spreads!

🦋 Just Beautiful

[@Notsomeoneyourelookingfor]

Hi! The theme looks gorgeous just by the thumbnail can't imagine the efforts you've put in it. I'm so excited for this video cause you always come up with art that just leaves me shocked. The Daisies and blue butterflies look so comforting and delicate. Keep making such exquisite art 🤍🤍🤍

[@Tiinasdiary]

Thank you so much for all of your kind words Ira, I’m so so happy you like it 🥹 I really appreciate it!!

[@TheWinterApples]

In sámi language, May is (directly translated) calf month. Its when all reindeer calves are born. So for may i usually go for calves, puppies or something animal newborn to mark the beginning of life. Maybe you could do something like that? A deer calves maybe? 😅

[@KariAndresen]

beautiful butterflies. 🦋

Thank you so much! 🥰🦋🤍

Every theme of yours is a complete work of art, I love it 😍

[@annatheartholic6432]

I love this theme so much and I just adore watching you paint... it´s so satisfying and calming 🥰 The butterfly kind of reminds me of our national butterfly here in Finland, the Paatsamasinisiipi ☺ Do you still have a lot of snow where you live in Finland? Here were I live we just got LOADS more snow 😅 I was going to write in Finnish but I got insecure so chose English instead... I´m a Fenno-Swede and even though I do understand Finnish when spoken I have a hard time writing it and speaking it myself 😅 Take care xx

[@demep488]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed making this because it is beautiful. Thank you for your work.🦋

[@isabelmartins9748]

So beautiful ❤❤❤

[@lovelylittlegirl3332]

Fun fact; daisies are actually the flower allocated to those born in the month of April! Such a lovely coincidence for you to add them❤

[@Tiinasdiary]

I actually know that since April is my birth month too 🥰 I love daisies so much!

[@lovelylittlegirl3332]

Adorable theme ^^ ❁

[@kataeijsackers9575]

It looks really nice! You gave me a good idea for next month. I’m not going to copy it but probably I use some of your ideas. Have a nice weekend, everyone!

[@CharizzeT]

This is soooo lovely Tiina! 😍😍 We’re twinning with this month’s theme!! 🦋 I loved your previous take on this and even more this time 💓

[@FrostKitty]

I really enjoy revisiting themes - it gives me an opportunity to see how I’ve improved. 🦋

[@Littlematchabujo]

It’s sooo pretty. Love the color scheme. 💙 and also you give me an idea for my ‘May’ or ‘August’ theme, been thinking of butterfly 🦋 theme but I didn’t know how I would incorporate it into spreads.

[@florencepoulin935]

In May it’s time for one of my favorite flowers (along with Forget-me-nots and Poppies): The lily of the valley! 😇🌿

[@journalisfun]

This was really fun to watch and you paint so beautifully😍💕 Hope you have a great day🥰

[@Tiinasdiary]

Thank you so much lovely! I really appreciate it 🫶🏼 Have a great day 🦋🤍

WOW

[@isabelpicard5533]

So beautiful as always... and Well balanced at every levels... choice of the color palette, craft paper etc... Regarding what happens these days in France 😥( strikes and extraordinary violence of the police ) I need these peacefull vibes more than usual and I Will do this theme even if I do not have your skill with gouache and watercolor 😁 un immense bravo pour votre travail et votre sens artistique 💚

Eurovision for May

[@isabelpicard5533]

For May I have an idea .... a theme around Ukraine... For example a street of KIEV I think you have the perfect skill To do it ... there are ineresting building like the orthodox architecture (ste sophie the cathedral of kiev and its interesting colors and golden roofs plus the ukranian emblematic flower the sunflowers plus the flowers compositions in the ukranian traditional art.... I don t know if this idea Will speaks to you but have any doubt you have the level To do something gorgeous mixing architecture drawing and flowers frame present in the traditional art ... 😉
