IT’S FALL YALL! Therefore, I chose to create a fall theme for the month of November this year. Although I had drawn a similar theme in my original journal, I couldn’t think of anything else to do this month. My spirit moved me to do this theme, but better in my current journal.
Once I settled on this idea, I did my usual research on Pinterest and saved as many examples as possible for reference. I viewed a multitude of leaves, trees, pumpkins, and acorns in my research. I finally decided to do a leaf and tree theme just to keep it simple.
Check out my design process below in order to view the final results.

The Cover Pages
In order to introduce the month of November, I chose to draw a tree branch and some leaves going across the cover pages. This design was based on an example created by bujo_gram that I found on Pinterest. I thought it was a nice way to introduce the month and it’s my favorite page in the entire theme.
The Calendar Page
I drew an array of leaves all over this spread. I kept it simple. Nothing fancy. I used various shades or orange, brown, and yellow for the color scheme.
The Mood and Habit Trackers
The mood tracker is just more of the same theme. I drew thirty leaves and added a key at the bottom. I’m hoping it will be a lovely multicolored display once the month is over.
For the habit tracker, I chose to draw some abstract looking trees. I used the colors brown and orange for all of the elements on this page.
The Weekly Spreads
The weekly spread is a variety of leaves drawn across the bottom of the two pages. I used the same colors that appeared throughout this month’s design in order to keep a cohesive look to the theme.
Final Thoughts
I’m glad I was able to push through my lack of inspiration and complete this month’s set-up. Overall, I think it is a nice design and represents the Autumn season well.
