HAY, how art you? This August, I decided to go for a nautical theme in my bullet journal using a soft baby blue and light brown colour scheme. It reminds me of a calm nursery room! I hardly use blues in my journal spreads, and it was fun to explore this palette. To accompany the theme, I designed a free journaling printable titled Nautical Voyage. You can find the download link at the end of this article. Without further ado, let’s check out my August bujo setup!

What I used this month:

The collage page features a paper boat made from kraft card paper and various printed papers. It can be removed from the paper ocean waves, and I imagine that it can be used as a bookmark for this month’s spreads.Â
To make the boat movable, I attached a paper strip behind it. Glue tape was applied only on the sides of each torn paper, so that the paper strip can move across them freely. As I didn’t have any suitable blue papers in my stash (besides the baby blue starry paper), I ended up with this neutral blue and brown colour palette for the theme. I am not complaining though, and the colour scheme reminds me of a cute and calm nursery room.
On the left, I made a little collage of a lighthouse and utilised small pieces of torn papers to represent the ocean. Keeping it simple, I stamped a short quote beside it.Â
For some functionality, I added a section for setting intentions of the month at the bottom of the page.Â
For the first August weekly spread, I drew seven square boxes for the daily sections and marked them using Suatelier dot stickers. The rest of the spaces were filled with mini collages using a mishmash of scrapbooking papers, stickers, washi tapes, and cutouts from my Nautical Voyage free printable set.Â
The second weekly spread features a neat boxy layout. The daily headers were printed in matching colours with the theme and then pasted. There is also a priorities section for setting the week’s to-dos.
