Plants :herb: - August Monthly Spread

114

Hi journal friends!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’m so sorry I’ve not been very alive on BJA; work has taken over (doing a lot of overtime) and I’ve been preparing to go back to university to study my Masters! So I’ve been a bit of a busy bee (suppose that’s why I’m called abusybee haha).

This week I found the time to take photos of my August spreads. I decided upon the theme of plants after finding some super cute plant stickers in my stash and in one of my favourite shops, Kenji!

I realise I have a heck of a lot of plant stickers...maybe I’m an addict haha! It can’t be helped when they’re all just so cute?!

I originally wrote “August” in my green ecoline watercolour brush pen but, it didn’t show up very well and it looked rather strange. I ended up going over it with my waterproof black ink and a brush. I needed to use this so that I could use the watercolours on top afterwards!

I drew the leaves out in pencil first, then went over them with my uni pin fine liner in black. I decided to colour the leaves in “loosely” to give it an illustrative vibe...not sure if I achieved that look because my ocd kicked in :joy: .

The calendar is in my usual layout! I really like this style of layout because it means I can just simplify the events with a little doodle or something.

The stickers on the right hand side page are from a shop called MoonLume. They’re absolutely adorable little succulent/cactus stickers and I didn’t want to use them haha! Have you ever hoarded stickers because they’re “too cute to use/don’t want to waste them”??

I hope you like this spread! Let me know your thoughts, and hopefully I’ll be posting a bit more often!!

Thanks for reading :herb:

I know right! It’s such an endurance :joy:

To be fair, I have so many journals, it’s hard to keep up with multiple ones haha! At least, I hope that’s what I meant when I wrote that 🤔

Plants are life :herb: :deciduous_tree:
