New Bullet Journal Setup Vol 3 | Mid Year Bullet Journal | Notebook Therapy | Getting Ready for Fall

[@shelly3251]

I love the fact that you did this with paper and not doodles.

[@karakreativevlog]

That perpetual calendar for birthdays book mark is genius!

[@ringbearer713]

This is so beautiful 🌙 turning something practical into something creative and expressive. Absolutely inspiring💛

[@TracyTylerRevell]

☺️ Thank you so much!

[@houseofadacael]

Gorgeous💕. I watched the video for five minutes then paused, bought the paper pack online and then finished your setup. I'm always looking forward to your videos, you are incredibly creative. So inspired 😊

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Yay! Thank you! If you don’t mind sharing, where did you find it online?

[@Elleina1907]

This is INSANELY beautiful, and 100% the kind of decorating I want to do in my journal! I'm not good at drawing/doodling, so I want to work on layering with paper, stickers, washi, stamps, etc. Love it love it love it!

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you so much!

[@ruthiejournals8828]

this is such a beautiful set up! i especially love all of the pale pinks + moons 🌙✨

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thanks!

[@paperbacksandponytails]

I really love your pages that you cut to get layers and different sizes.

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you so much!

[@paperbacksandponytails]

@@TracyTylerRevell your welcome. 🙂

[@selbarton]

I love these pages, and it looks lovely. I watch these with the mind that I conserve as many pages as possible so I get a year in one book. Watching entire pages turn into decorations or a bookmark on a page then another bookmark holding page, massively cut down pages, and decorations that reduce a ton of the page's function of holding data, my brain goes "pretty but all the lost space". So it was nice to hear someone say they want to save as much as possible while doing this type of decoration.

[@TracyTylerRevell]

After several years of bullet journaling I’ve come to realize that for me the decorative aspect is just as important as the function. It’s such a creative release for me that it’s almost therapeutic so sacrificing decorations in order to fit more on a page is a sacrifice that I usually don’t make. I just try to be more intentional with my spreads so that I don’t have unused/wasted pages.

[@NerdyVeganC]

This is absolutely stunning! As someone with not a ton of drawing ability, I appreciate that this setup is done with paper. 😍😍😍

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you!

[@bekahheintz]

I know this is an older video, but I'm rewatching it and wanted to suggest Rylee Autumn bullet journals for a small business! She's another bullet journaler here on YT and she put out blank dot grid notebooks that are really nice, especially the new linen cover ones.

[@sharoncorrea7594]

Notebook therapy has the prettiest journals and I am so glad you’re using one

[@TracyTylerRevell]

I agree completely! 😁

[@Talonshire2]

I am so glad I found you. You are so creative and enjoyed color palette selected. ❤️👍

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you so much!

[@TiffTiff417]

❤❤❤❤ I really like your creativity. I don’t like the word goals either… So high I really like how you made that page, make it happen.

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thanks!

[@AshleyTuckerDesigns]

Ahhhh! I used the same paper pack for my August spread! 😆 I got it at Michael’s. Such a gorgeous paper pack. So happy to see what you do with it!

[@TracyTylerRevell]

😁 It’s so pretty, right? ❤️

[@michellealtman2019]

I love the black journal from notebook therapy. That's one color I never thought of purchasing. Still, after watching your video, I decided to purchase one for my next bullet journal. Out of all the paper packs you have used in your videos, the Recollections Magical Thinking paper pack is my favorite. 👍👍👍

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Yay! You won’t be disappointed, it’s even prettier in person. I really love this paper pack too, there are so many other papers that I didn’t even use.

[@plunkybug]

Wow! Amazing paper pack and spread. I have considerably less talent than you, but it’s nice to watch. I also think the yellow is fine and matches the gold.

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you so much! The longer I look at it the more I like it. 😁

[@hazelmorera5946]

Loved this so much! Gorgeous as always! I especially love how you use so many different patterns in the paper and washi but it’s all still so cohesive and coordinated 😍

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you!! 😊

[@sistersofstyle]

I just LOVE your use of scrapbooking paper and the inserts into pockets. Amazing!

Thank you so much! I am really happy with the way it looks. 😁

[@TekaGLAM]

You didn't ask for my opinion but I think the yellow lines page is really cute and they matched the golden theme part of the decoration. Well, at least, from where I am they are shining gold.

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you! It has definitely grown on me especially with writing on the page now.

[@RitaSlanina]

So inspiring and beautiful! Thanks for the creative inspo!

Can you share how you made your mini calendars on your computer? I’m currently struggling with that 🤣 and yours are just so perfect!!

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Hmm. I don’t know how to video my computer screen but until I can figure that out 😂 I use Pages, which is Apple’s version of Word, and create a table with 5-6 rows depending on how many weeks in that month and seven columns for the days of the week, then I make it whatever size I want it to be, for the mini calendars it’s roughly an inch and a half wide. Once the basic shape of the table is done I copy and paste it to make multiples and then fill each one out. The month title is a separate text box that I just center over the calendar. It’s a bit time consuming but it definitely helps keep my hand from hurting! Hope that helps!

[@margarobert1030]

Wonderful as always!! Love this theme!! This paper is gorgeous😍😍😍😍 I'm waiting for your next video!!! Thanks!!

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thank you! It will be out tomorrow! I’m playing catch up from my 2 weeks off. 😁

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Thanks! For the first few years I only used 2 but since starting KZbin I have a lot more to plan and do so I use up like 20-25 pages per month. 😂

[@claudiafialhostudio]

@@TracyTylerRevell wow 😮😅

[@fionaeckert4556]

Wasn't the original idea it last as long as it lasts? Mine usually last five months, longer when I don't go on holidays. I see it so often that people either cramp a sixth month into an already full notebook or leave a ton of pages unused because, well, six months are up.

[@claudiafialhostudio]

@@fionaeckert4556 true. I try to use as much as I can of my bullet journal.

[@PsychonautJournaling]

You always have the most beautiful scrapbooking papers!! I need to go to Joanns more often 😅😅

[@anaya9311]

I know you are a small channel but I think it would really help a lot of people who do watch you if you made some sort of bundle with like all the washi tapes paper pack and stuff as I live in a different country and don’t have Michaels and can’t find the tapes so that would be awesome 😊

[@TracyTylerRevell]

I will have to think about how to do something like that. In the meantime, I will definitely look into some online shops that ship international. 😁

[@amiegarrettgrayson5729]

You should consider noting the different journals as Volume and book... if this was the 3rd year and 3rd book, it would be Vol 3, book 3. That way as you go through the years, you won't have 2 named the same. Just a thought...

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Oh that might be cool. Right now I have a label on the side of each one that says for example "2022 Vol.1".

[@LPP_05]

[@adrianaflores714]

I just purchased a lavender archer and olive and would love to use it for a whole year 🙈 160 pages isnt enough. Any ideas?

[@TracyTylerRevell]

😂 I am the wrong person to ask that question. I usually go through 3-4 notebooks, that are 192 pages, a year. 🤭 Maybe try condensing spreads, like combining the calendar and cover page or having 2 weeks per spread instead of one. I’m sure it’s possible but you may have to use less “extra” stuff like papers and stickers. Hope that helps.

[@adrianaflores714]

😅 I also want to include fun stuff and pictures so maybe I'll do 6 months and 6 months in another. We'll see. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MCh-uy7gq]

What kind of marker is used on the 'ideal day' page to make that shadow like line?

[@TracyTylerRevell]

It's a Tombow Dual Brush Marker in color N89. It's my absolute favorite marker!

[@chrisadimitriadou]

Hi! I'm new here. I really like the aesthetic outcome of your setup! Your video showed up while I was thinking of starting a new bujo myself even though I still have a lot pages left in my current one. Do you actually use up your previous notebooks or do you leave pages unused?

[@TracyTylerRevell]

Welcome!! Thank you so much! Some notebooks have more pages left than others. It really just depends. My current bullet journal has 4 pages left. If I know there won't be enough room for the next month then I'll just move on to the next journal. I am guilty of leaving a lot of pages left though because I just wanted something new but it's usually not more than 10-15 pages. I say if you're not happy with your current journal then go ahead and switch it up. You can always tear the extra pages out and use them for mini calendars or anything else that you may need scraps for. Or you could use those pages as pen test pages for new pens/markers or color combos you like. The possibilities are really endless. 😂 All that was to say, don't feel guilty for starting new! 😁

[@chrisadimitriadou]

@@TracyTylerRevell thanks a lot! I actually had a notebook from the flying tiger. It was cheap and the paper very thin, but I wanted to see how invested I could remain throughout the year. It was a first attempt on bujo grid. But all the stickers and papers I have added make it very bulky and uncomfortable to handle. So I got the one you have here on your set up here, coincidentally.. Idk maybe I'm not confident enough for the upgrade😂

[@fionaeckert4556]

@@chrisadimitriadou well, sounds like you are not happy with the one you are using currently. Why not give the new one a try? Otherwise you might never know if it was just the thin paper that annoyed you. Like you I started with a cheap sketch book to try. Then I upgraded to better paper and am really happy now.

Thank you so much! Usually my theme ideas come from whatever supplies I’m using. I will just kind of go through all of my papers and stickers and stuff when I’m planning and use whatever gives me the most inspiration at that time.

@@TracyTylerRevell Awesome thank you for your advice!

[@Camille719]

What is a perpetual calendar?

[@TracyTylerRevell]

It’s basically a list of dates that don’t change from year to year, such as birthdays or anniversaries. This way I can just move this card from journal to journal without having to rewrite everything every 3 months when I set up a new journal.
