Nothing says Summer to me more than a big juicy piece of watermelon! My husband and I purchased a whole watermelon and nearly ate the entire thing in two days! It was a great hydrating snack to bring with us to relax by the pool. Summer is finally showing it’s face here in the midwest, we are at the pool any chance we can get!

So naturally, watermelons just had to be the theme for July’s cover page in my bullet journal! I had tons of fun creating this super sweet design! I switched over to using a smaller bullet journal this month and I must say, I enjoy using a smaller book. This was my first time creating a bullet journal page on blank paper! It’s a bit intimidating when you don’t have the dots as guides but I felt super confident and free handed all of the outlining. I am so happy with how it turned out!

I hope your July is super sweet! Happy Planning!

This design was created on a blank paged Fabriano journal. These journals are super lightweight and easy to carry in a purse/backpack/suitcase. The paper is soft and doesn’t bleed easily!

I used Micron markers from the fine line set to create the watermelons. These markers glide so easily on paper! I used sizes 005 and 01 to create fine lines and to give the melons a three dimensional look.

For the green watermelon rind I used a light green Mildliner highlighter and for the pink part of the melon I used a Crayola Super Tip!
