PLAN WITH ME: January 2020 Bullet Journal Setup – Polar Bear Style

January 2020 Bullet Journal Setup

It’s time for the January bullet journal setup. It’s another more doodle heavy month for me and this time the theme is pine trees. That’s why I ended up with a green theme.

First spread

I went for a simple pine tree theme for January because pine tree always make me think of winter. That was also how I ended up with a green theme.

Calendar

This is my first time doing a large calendar. To make things easier, I used green paper dots to arrange things before gluing them down.

Mood tracker

I continued my pine tree theme with my mood tacker, adding the dates to the trunks. I also added my first quote spread on the right. The quote felt fitting since January is the first month of the year so it’s a great time to take control.

Goals/review spread

This is the spread I liked the least from my January setup because it just turned out too plain. Despite staring at it for a while, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it so I just left it as is. Any ideas? 🙂

Health/mood review spread

This is another simple spread with pine tree doodles on the sides. Originally the trees were supposed to be ombre, but I didn’t test the colors in advance and didn’t realize that they were too similar to make that happen.

Inspired by/brain dump

This is another simple spread that I decorated with a larger pine tree in the middle and some forest themed washi tape and stickers. Despite how simple it is, I really liked how this came out.

Best of the month spread

This time I went for a pine tree on each side of the spread. It’s quite similar to my other spreads though in the way I decorated it (with forest themed washi tape).

Pine tree footer spread

Here I moved the pine trees to the bottom of the spread and varied the colors a bit more. I like the forest-like effect this created. And again, I used some forest themed washi tape here to underline the headings.

Scrapbook spread

This spread is much closer to the scrapbook style spreads I used to do more often, but for some reason didn’t feel like doing for this setup as much. It’s very busy with a whole bunch of photos, metallic paper, tissue paper, stickers and washi tape.

Last spread

This was the last spread of my January setup. I continued the pine tree theme here by adding them to the top of the spread. I then used some winter themed washi tape to decorate the spread a bit more.
