Hi, Lifestyle Community! I am sharing with you how I did my layout for the January Monthly, Weekly, and Habit Tracker. I really enjoyed doing this. I am keeping it simple and minimalist. Of course, I was using my Additional Pens for Journal to design and create doodles.
January Monthly Layout
I am using the stencils I purchased from Amazon and it is so helpful to create this calendar, creating a draft with a pencil.
I outlined the calendar with a black fine-liner pen. Then used some colored pens to pop up some color on Janvier and January lettering. I created a border design using Morandi Acrylic pens. Within the calendar, I also used the pens to add some color.
To finish off the design, I doodled some flowers I learned from the past few weeks.
I got this idea from artsybeats on Instagram where I learned to doodle flowers.
January Weekly Layout
This time, I added the January Weekly layout which I missed doing it from last year's December layout.
I am using various stencil designs just to try out how it would look like.
I love all of them so I can use them for the next few months' layout.
It was really quick and easy. I really had no plans how my planner would look like.
I just wanted a quick design because what's important, I have something to write on.
I am using Morandi Acrylic pens again to color the borders.
I have an A5 notebook. I've been thinking if I should buy a dotted A5 notebook in the future, wondering if I'm going to make some changes to my design.
Although I plan to create some doodles, cut it out, and stick it to my notebook. Or find some nice paper cutouts from magazines to use as a backdrop for a monthly cover.
I still have no plans to buy beautiful and colorful stickers but I can use my Poooli pocket printer to print some images and color it after.
But I don't want to overwhelm my notebook so I am happy with this minimalist layout.
Habit Tracker
I got excited to add Habit Tracker for January and will add it for the rest of the months.
Still using a stencil for this one.
I showed a sneak peek of my habit tracker in this blog article: 2024 New Year's Resolution as a SAHM.
So far, I am enjoying filling up my bullet journal for January 2024. Let me know what you think.
