Bullet Journal |

Summer is pretty much here in the midwest! I can’t wait to soak up all the sun & have all sorts of fun in summer 2021! This cover page is inspired by my childhood & warm summer nights running around the yard catching fireflies. I always thought they were sort of magical!

This design was so much fun to create. I didn’t plan it out, as soon as my pencil hit the paper I let the creativity go. I outlined the design with my Pentel GraphGear 500 pencil, starting out with the jar in the lower right hand corner. I wanted the page to explode with fireflies, just like they would on a summer night. Once I drew out the entire design in pencil, I went over it with my micron .005 pen. To get the perfect luminescence of the firefly, I mixed the yellow and green Stabilo Boss highlighters to get the perfect hue of green.

Sometimes it’s fun just see where your creativity guides you. I photographed my bullet journal in my backyard when the sun was setting. I used fairy lights in the background to give off the firefly effect. I just adore this cover page, it turned out so magical!

Thanks for checking out June’s cover page in my bullet journal. I’m looking forward to see what the bujo community is inspired by this summer. Please keep tagging me in your recreated designs, I love to see what my fellow bujo-ers are inspired by!  Here’s a look at past cover pages for June in my bullet journal 🙂
