June 2020 Bullet Journal Setup | Sunset Themed Bullet Journal | Christian Bullet Journal
so this month's theme features my favorite colors yellow and pink and the
reason why I wanted to do with sunset or sunrise is because it kind of represents
change change of a new day and I feel like a lot of things are changing in my
life plus it's just really fun colors and it's nice and summery so I'm gonna
be doing this with water colors and if water colors intimidate you I'll put a
picture on the screen and this is just me doing the same exact thing but in my
personal bullet journal using markers so if you don't like using paint and just
use markers I actually like how it came out with Parker's a lot it was very
vibrant and pretty so go ahead and do it with markers if you wanna do this theme
but I did want to play around with water colors because it's my third or fourth
time using it I am still a beginner I really love painting and it's just very
relaxing for me I did buy all of my supplies on Amazon and as always I'll
have a link in the description bar if you want to try watercolor painting
there's a lot of tutorials on youtube so with watercolor you have to work in
layers so right now I'm just doing the wet on wet technique which is when you
put down water and then you're putting the paint on top it gives it a really
nice loose and non opaque look and I'm just putting down this base layer of
color and then eventually I will put it aside and get my table fan and just let
that dry and while that dries I'm gonna continue working on the setup so last
month I did a set up with a bigger calendar to track the days that I
studied my Bible but I found that for me habit wrappers just don't work I thought
it was kind of a headache to keep track of the days I study my Bible and I do a
pretty good job at being very consistent with getting into the word everyday so
I'm just not gonna do a habit chocolate this month and the quote of the month
goes along with the change theme it says change is painful but nothing is as
painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong and that was a quote said
by Mandy Hale I have no idea who Mandy but I really liked that quote so I did
end up putting it on this page and the word change I decided to use my markers
and do a little bit of an ombre because the word itself like the color of the
word is changing get it and I thought it looks good so yeah so I really like how
this page came out but you'll see the full ending of it afterwards and then
next is my gratitude page this is the one page that I don't put in my personal
bullet journal I do have a personal one for more private and personal Bible
studies I don't want to put on the internet but my gratitude page is one
that I just like to keep in this journal because this is my main Bible study
journal with the gratitude page I did want to do the same ombre that I did on
the previous page with the word change and that's just with using that dark
pink lighter pink and then that yellow orange color and it looked kind of weird
just like this so then I ended up taking a black fineliner so it's just a thin
black marker and outlining one part of the each letter I don't know if I'm
explaining that okay but you'll see what I'm doing I feel like adding this black
detail really helps to tie in the entire word and it makes it not look so strange
I think before I added this black detail it looked really strange and so yeah so
this is my gratitude page and on my gratitude page I like to open it up
every single day and write something that I'm grateful for I also like to
write my prayers on this page sometimes writing out prayer is so powerful and I
find that when I write to God it sounds kind of weird but when I write to God
it's just helps me to get my feelings out a lot easier then to just add a
little bit pop of color so it's not so boring I took a crayola marker and I
added this fun border with a hot pink color on the next page will be my
reflection page and I really enjoyed this last month so I decided to carry it
over this month with different questions or the first question is what area of my
life can i improve and the second question is what has God been saying to
me and at the bottom I'm just going to be writing a conclusion last month I
found that the theme that God who was trying to tell me it
was just to trust him through everything and you know of course I know to trust
God but it's always good when he gives us a loving reminder right and so I feel
like this month if there's any patterns or anything that I noticed I'm gonna
write on this page and on the conclusion page I found it to be extremely helpful
next month last month sorry so if you've never done a page like this I want to
encourage you to try it and again I felt like it looks kind of boring so I was on
Pinterest and I saw something that kind of showed me different ways that I could
spice up my titles and this is one of them it's kind of making it look like
block lettering a little bit so yeah I thought this came out really nice and
then the verse of the month so the verse of the month last month same with the
reflection page as well all these pages I work on throughout the month I don't
just sit and do the whole page you know at the beginning of the month or
whatever so these I work on throughout the month so it's not so overwhelming
the verse of the month was helpful because sometimes I didn't know what to
study in my Bible and I would just open up to the verse of the month and what it
is is psalm 119 verse 2 blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him
with all their heart and I wrote what does the scripture mean how can I apply
it to my life who was this verse written by and what was the context so I'm
looking forward to working on that again and then with the mood tracker page last
month I don't know mood trackers are weird I
just enjoy coloring it in for me I feel like my mood stays pretty consistent
overall but I don't know I think it's fun to color this page did take me
forever so that's why I did it off-camera I just used two water bottles
of different sizes for the circles and then the lines I just eyeballed it and
that's what really took a long time so I can't wait to fill this in and see what
it looks like filled in I will say though when I did that page it looks
pretty plain and I went back in off-camera and added to it but you'll
see at the end and now here I'm just showing you my watercolor painting I was
coming along it did end up drying and I'm just going over it with
more vibrancy some more color I did like I said like the marker version a lot
because it added a lot of pop of color and vibrancy but this was really fun to
do as well if you're looking for a new hobby definitely want to suggest
watercolor and also listen to chilled Cal while you're painting if you're not
listening to chilled cow on YouTube that YouTube channel while you're doing some
sort of art painting studying your Bible then what are you doing I'm just kidding
I like doing it while I'm studying my Bible or I like to listen to choked out
while I'm doing art so not necessarily studying my Bible but creating artwork
then once I let that dry I started to draw in the palm trees and I just use a
thick brush pen but you can use any marker or sharpie if you want to again I
use a water bottle to create the circle some bendy weird-looking triangles for
the base of the tree and then I used a skinnier tip marker so a finer tip
marker and I just did some squiggles off of those lines to make it look like palm
trees afterwards I took some stick glue this is just what I had laying around I
do want to get some better glue for my bullet journal but more to come on a
supplies video that I plan on doing so I took some stick glue and I decided to
just stick it right on the book because I wanted to write the word Jun across
the top but I wanted to start it off of the circle and you'll see what I mean in
a second this glue wasn't that great honestly I feel like it's the edges
starting to come up right away but again I'm gonna get better glue and better
adhesive and then I'm just taking this thick brush marker and I'm writing the
word in June and please remember that this video is sped up a lot I am NOT
writing that fast so if you're gonna try to recreate this take your time go slow
this took me a long time to put together but I enjoyed doing hey I was listening
to music drinking a cup of coffee my kids were sleeping it was late at night
but I like to drink coffee it sometimes and another tip is if you're not you
know feel like you're not the greatest at hand lettering just write it regular
in cursive and then with every downstroke thicken the lines just like
I did just now and so that helps to create kind of like a faux calligraphy
and then I went back over with a fine marker and I wrote 20 20
I'll only added that in because I wrote jus and kind of crooked and I didn't
like that negative space there I also added some birds in the distance and
then to add some extra flare I took my white gel pen and just added a really
nice accent on all of the down strokes since they were thicker I feel like that
really helped to make the picture come together as well as tying in some stars
at the top you know when the Sun is setting you kind of see some stars a
little bit that's the look I was trying to go for I don't know if I achieve that
but here's the finished product I love it this is my favorite one so far please
try it don't let watercolors intimidate you if
not go ahead and use markers thank you so much for watching please subscribe it
