My September 2021 bullet journal design is all about the bonsai tree. This design was inspired by the bullet journal spreads created by Julianne Doodles and Bullet Journal by Lena on Instagram. I decided to use this design for the month of September because it was beautiful and simplistic at the same time. Much easier to complete than my August bujo design.
If you would like to see how this theme turned out, check out my design process below.
The Design Process
The Cover Pages
After viewing a few bonsai tree bullet journal examples, the cover page design was a breeze to complete. I chose to draw one large bonsai tree on the title page and two smaller ones on the notes page. I used my color scheme of peach, brown, and grey to color all of the trees. Finally, I added an easy decoration to all four corners of each page in order to make the design look a look a little more polished and complete.
The Calendar
The calendar page has two more bonsai trees that look slightly different from the cover pages. I used the same color scheme and corner design as the first two pages. Finally, I finished this page off with few stars, sparkles, and circles in order to give it a little extra something to make it stand out.
The Mood and Habit Trackers
Both the mood and habit tracker pages are a continuation of the bonsai theme and color palette. I love the mood tracker for this theme because it consists of several bushy bonsai trees. Each bush on the trees represents a day of the month.
The habit tracker page is pretty self explanatory. I just added more unique looking bonsai trees and decorative corners to the page and colored it will my the same color scheme as the previous pages.
The Weekly Spreads
The weekly pages are pretty much more of the same. I drew a bonsai tree at the bottom of each page and added the fancy corners to each page to complete the look.
Final Thoughts
Even though I had a hard time getting motivated to complete September’s bullet journal design, I’m glad that I finally worked up the energy and desire to get it done. It turned out to be a pleasure to draw and complete. I’m very happy with the end result.
