Hey everyone!
As we step into November, I can’t help but feel a rush of creativity bubbling up. This month marks a beautiful transition into the cozy vibes of fall, and what better way to embrace it than by getting crafty with my bullet journal? If you’re anything like me, your journal is both a functional tool and a canvas for self-expression. So, I want to share some fun and inspiring ideas for your November bullet journal cover spread!
1. Autumn Leaves
One of my favorite themes for November is autumn leaves. I love sketching different types of leaves—maple, oak, and birch—using warm colors like orange, red, and yellow. To make it pop, I sometimes add a watercolor wash in the background. It creates such a lovely contrast and instantly gives my journal that fall feeling!
2. Cozy Sweater Weather
Who doesn’t love the feeling of wrapping up in a warm sweater? For this spread, I like to draw knit patterns and maybe even add some cute doodles of mugs filled with hot chocolate or lattes. Incorporating textures like yarn, patterns, or even fabric swatches can give your cover a cozy touch that feels like a warm hug!
3. Gratitude Focus
November is the month of Thanksgiving, which makes it the perfect time to reflect on what we’re grateful for. I often dedicate my cover spread to this theme. I’ll create a beautiful title with “November” in bold, flowing lettering and surround it with little boxes where I can jot down things I’m thankful for throughout the month. It sets a positive tone as I flip through my pages!
4. Night Sky and Stars
As the days get shorter, the nights can be quite enchanting. I love creating a cover spread that features a night sky with soft watercolor washes of deep blue and purple, decorated with hand-drawn stars and a moon. It’s simple yet captivating, and it brings a sense of calm and wonder to my journaling routine.
5. Thanksgiving Vibes
Thanksgiving is all about gathering and sharing. I love using this theme to create a spread that captures the essence of the holiday. I’ll draw turkeys, pumpkins, and a cornucopia filled with seasonal fruits and veggies. Adding quotes about gratitude or family can make it even more special.
6. Seasonal Goals
Transitioning into the new month is a great time to reassess goals. This cover spread can include a motivational quote or mantra alongside a list of goals or intentions for November. I like to use bright colors to emphasize my focus, and maybe even incorporate a little checklist or tracker.
7. Scenery Inspired
I often find inspiration in the changing scenery during the fall. This month, I’m thinking of illustrating a cozy cottage adorned with fall decorations, surrounded by colorful trees. It’s a bit of a project, but it’s so rewarding to see it all come together on the page!
No matter which theme you choose for your November bullet journal cover spread, the most important thing is to have fun and let your creativity shine! I love using my bullet journal not just for planning but also as an outlet for artistic expression.
