hey everyone welcome back to my channel it's Veronica in today's video I'm gonna
be setting up my bullet journal for the month of May I know this one's a little
bit late coming out I tried to get this done over the weekend and then I didn't
end up getting it up until just now so sorry if you guys already planned out
your bullet journals but if you're interested to see how I planned out mine
then just keep watching so I'm gonna start out by doing my cover page as I
always do I'm just gonna write may on this one and this month I'm gonna keep
it seemed kind of floral like I did last month for April but this time I'm going
to try and include some more purples and blues so I'm just starting out by
tracing out all of my doodles before I paint it with my watercolor pens
I took a ruler and actually drew out two lines and in the middle is where I'm
going to draw me then I'm going to draw some floral accents on either side of
the two lines so once I finished drawing all of that I took an eraser and just
went over it a little bit so that the pencil lines weren't as bold and didn't
stick out as much that way they also don't bleed when I paint with the
watercolor paint so then I'm just going in with my watercolor pens these are the
ones I always use I'll have them linked below like I
always do as well as everything else I use in the video that'll all be down
there in case you guys are interested in what I use so I'm just gonna start out
by painting in my greens this is the most dominant color in the doodles so I
figured I'd start with this I'm also going to start with some light greens
and then as I go I'll add in the darker greens over top just to add some
shadowing in and I'll pretty much do that all throughout this with the blues
and the purples and everything as well I'll start with a lighter color and then
I'll kind of continue with a dark color
so then once I was finished painting and all of the watercolor paint was
completely dry I took one of my gel pens and I just went over all the outlines
and details so this just makes it pop out a little bit more and it always
makes it look a little cleaner I think
so that is it for my cover page then moving on this month I am going to do a
calendar last month I didn't I just did a tracker on the one page and I kind of
missed the big calendar so I'm gonna add that back in in this video so starting
off I'm just gonna take the one page to the left and I'm going to draw out a big
box and this is just going to end up being my calendar now this did show
through the page a little bit more than I'd like it to I don't know I might end
up trying to switch to a different pen I really like these gel pens but they can
be a little thick and they're very bright and colorful but sometimes that
shines through to the other page so I am gonna look into some other pens that
maybe don't believe well these don't really bleed through but like show
through is much then I just took my little ruler and I made 7 squares across
the page and then 5 squares down so then once I finished all these squares
I just wrote out the numbers for each day and then I really didn't like how
the top looks so I actually covered it up with some washi tape and then I put
my days of the week at the bottom
then continuing with that floral cluster sort of theme
I painted a bunch more Leafs and flowers and everything up on top of the calendar
now I'm actually gonna let this dry before I doodle over it again with my
gel pen and I'm gonna move on to my tracker page so this is just gonna be my
habit tracker just like usual I just wrote habit tracker out at the
top and then I made a little leafy vine with the blues and then I wrote out all
the numbers for each day of the week so we'll start with 1 all the way to 31 and
then I just wrote out all of the habits I wanted to try and do and then at the
bottom I did have some space so down here I put my notes for the month my
goals for the month and then also my to-do for that month then once all my
watercolor had dried I realized I did one a little bit more blue into this
whole theme so I went over some of the lighter colors with some blue watercolor
paint then of course I had to let this dry again so that was a little bit more
of a weight and then once that dried I just went over that with my gel pen
let me know if you guys think I think I almost want a little bit more space on
this maybe I'll do two pages for the month of June and then two pages for the
tracker as well let me know what you guys think do you usually use that much
space or do you not end up filling out that much let me know in the comments
down below and then that is it for my monthly set up so then moving on I'm
gonna set up these two pages for my weekly spread so for this week set up I
really wanted to try and do something a little different other than the boxes
that I usually do just for each day so I decided that I was going to try and do
this honeycomb looking theme that I've seen before so this actually took me a
while to plan out I took a pencil to start with because I knew if I did this
with a gel pen right off it would not work so I traced it all out with a
pencil and then I went over it with the gel pen
so I ended up making eight little boxes instead of just seven and then the
eighth box is going to be the spot where I put things to do for the following
week then I thought this page needs a little color so I added in some blue
watercolor paint just around the edges of this whole little setup then I
started filling in the days of the week and I also like I said put next week
down in the corner I had a little room up in the corner so I put a little
calendar there so I can kind of glance at what the month looks like and then I
started adding in a little bit of detail on some of the watercolor just some
little accents here there I also added some green leaves in there too I thought
the green complimented the blue really well and it also went with the rest of
the whole theme for this month let me know what you guys usually like to plan
out in your journal I usually like to have a place for each day of the week so
I can kind of make to-do lists for each day and then I also like to have kind of
goals for the overall week but that's really it for what I like to put in here
this time I did put a brain drop sort of spot where you can just write down
thoughts and notes and things and I'm gonna see how that kind of works out I
usually like keeping a separate journal for writing and then this bullet journal
as more of a planning journal so then I had a few little spots that I really
didn't like how they turned out so I just put some washi tape over them and
added that into the page a little bit I think that fit in there really well on
this washi tape I know they're a little honeycomb I keep calling them honeycomb
I guess I don't even know what they would be and then I just added a little
more doodles in and then that's it for my weekly setup so I really really like
how this setup turned out actually it's one of my favorite ones I think I've
ever done so we have my weekly set up and then all of my monthly set up with
my tracker and then the month of May so that's it for this video guys I hope you
