Color Palettes for Bullet Journal

For each month in my bullet journal, I select a color palette.  I pull pens I will do headers with - usually Staedtler triplus fineliners, but sometimes also a fountain pen with appropriately colored ink.  I pull a selection of Tombow dual brush markers, as well.  Those join my Delde pen pouch, along with the pens and equipment I use every month in my journal.  Here are images of January's pens and March's pens.  I think I got so tired of pink and red, that I didn't photograph February's.  

January

January was a deep green with lighter aquas.  The Tombows were 291, 346, and 403.  I used a fountain pen with De Atramentis Petrol along with a couple of green Staedtlers.

February

I stuck with reds and pinks for this month, but leaned heavily on the pinks.  Tombows were 723, 847, and 817.  I stuck with one particular duskier pink Staedtler for writing. 

March

I veered away from my usual kelly green for March and went with a much more sage green along with purple.  The Tombows are 192 (using it a lot), 158, and 620.  I'm using a dark purple and a dark green Staedtler.

PS:  This post has a list of the supplies that I use every month in my bullet journal.

St. Patrick's Day Cards

 I love St. Patrick's Day.  I'm not sure why - except that it means spring, daffodils, and relief from winter.  Plus, we have some Irish heritage, so it seems fitting.  And because of all of that, I like to make St. Patrick's Day cards - not many - just a total of five.  

Two of this one...

And one of this one, similar to the first one, but with a different sentiment.

The stamp set used was this one.  It's by Colorado Craft Company, called 4 Leaf Clover.  The illustrator is Anita Jeram.  She's a children's book illustrator.  It's the second set like this I've purchased, and I'm loving the cards I make with them.  I used Neenah Solar White paper, and colored the images with copic markers.  A couple of elements were stamped a second time, fussy cut, and attached with foam squares for some interest.  Credit for that idea goes to Yana Smakula.

Bullet Journal Cover Pages

 I had some fun in my bullet journal during October and November of 2020 by using doodles throughout the pages.  I usually use washi tape and stickers - and I did go back to that in December, but October and November were all doodles.  

I picked up on that habit in the 2021 bullet journal.  So far, for January, February, and March, it's been doodles all the way.  I have also added a cover page to each month - I've never used a cover page before. These are designed with a large doodle and a quote.  They are inspired by doodles I see on the internet (so know that).  

I can't draw, but I enjoy this.
