creating a lunar calendar in my bullet journal

August 1, 2018
creating a lunar calendar in my bullet journal

I wanted to share with you my first bullet journal process of creating a lunar calendar in my bullet journal. Recently, I received my latest Lace & Whimsy purchase and it basically inspired this entire spread. I decided to create a lunar calendar because I would like something to reference to whenever there’s a full moon, especially a special one like the Blood Moon on the 27th of July, which also was a catalyst to creating this calendar because I didn’t know it was a special full moon until the day of. Also, I wanted to have fun using all of my celestial themed stamps, stickers and papers. I don’t know, I just thought it would be something fun to have in my bullet journal.

So I used a combination of materials when creating this lunar calendar. The stickers and die cuts from Lace & Whimsy were from the Celestial Whimsy collection. I used a Prima Finnabair acrylic stamp set that I got at Michaels for stamping out all of the lunar diagram charts that I used. All of the washi tapes* I used were also from Prima, from their Amelia Rose collection. Then I used an assortment of other stickers from Tim Holtz*, Maggie Holmes, Heidi Swapp, and WRMK. That constellation paper is from a really old Heidi Swapp collection called September Skies. I love how it ties the entire spread together.

This spread came out busier than my usual journal spread and I kind of like it. I made sure to fill in any empty space with a gold star sequin or a sticker of some sort. I even included a partial Fitzgerald quote because I loved the phrase “melancholy brilliance of the moon.” It just sounds so serene yet bold and strong at the same time. It’s a great description for the moon.

Anyway, I filmed a video of my entire process, which you can watch down below. I do hope you enjoy it.

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
