Bullet Journal August 2020 // Minimalist Wildflower Bouquet

I had a much needed month off from blogging last month and it seriously helped me find inspiration! I’ve gone back to my roots and this month’s journal spread is minimalist and easy to create. It’s one of my favorites of the year so far! It was simple to make with a messy bouquet that you can copy for yourself.

Cover Page

“Bloom where you are planted” is my theme for the month. We can’t control everything and that has not been made more apparent than this year. Sometimes you have to let go of the things out of your hands and thrive where you are. Grow and bloom by your own hand, no matter where you are, no matter what unfolds around you.

I have encorporated this wildflower bouquet into every page in different sizes and patterns. Letting the stems overlap gives it a natural, messy appearance. The simple black lines and lots of white space on the page gives it the iconic ‘Hayley Minimalist’ design.

Monthly Calendar and Habit Tracker

I’ve usurped the space on the side of the calendar this month to sneak in a habit tracker. It’s perfect and I’ll be doing this more often now! I used to keep the space open for monthly notes but rarely found myself using them. Now my weekly spreads have more room.

My habit tracker this month fits perfectly on the side of my monthly calendar. I don’t know why I haven’t done this before! I just put a checkmark for the day in each box.

Weekly Layout

Okay, this is one of the absolute easiest weekly spread ever. It cannot be simpler than a line and quick stamp of the dates.

Can we talk about my new vintage style letter stamps?! I’m in love and it gives me beautiful font letters quickly! It’s been something that has been on my bujo wishlist for a while and I finally made the purchase and am so thrilled with the results.

For week 34, Tuesday August 18 was the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. I loved the stamps that they created for the occasion and put one on that day in my journal. It’s such a cute memento!

Sometimes it’s hard to get a feel for what a weekly spread looks like in action when it’s just… you know, a line. But here is the first week of August filled out. I changed up my key a little bit to use a dot and x system.

Can you tell I’m posting this a little late 😉 As here in the second week of August filled out until Thursday.

One of the reasons I love my dot grid journal from Archer and Olive is because it has two ribbons! This way I keep one ribbon for my finance tracker and the other for the week I am currently on.

I actually covered the top of my letter stamp box with a bit of blue floral fabric with some modge podge. Gives it a bit of visual interest.

I’m just so happy with my spread this month and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! Do yo have a go-to or personal style for your own journal?

Happy Day-
