Let's make a swashbuckling, adventurous bullet journal theme for April! Aye, this be a journal theme for scoundrels and scallywags - but only the nice ones! Yarr! 🏴‍☠🦜⛵☠️🏴⚓
About the Giveaway Journal project:⁠
Twice a year I prepare a full journal, with new journal pages and monthly themes for the upcoming six month period. I record each set up, and run a giveaway on the first Plan With Me video from that journal on my KZfaq channel, giving it away to someone to use as their own journal. This setup, though it's for May 2024, was prepared in December 2023 and is no longer in my possession. The next Giveaway Journal giveaway will open in May 2024.
Please note: As of May 2024 this project has been renamed "the Mystery Journal" to reduce confusion.

I LOVE how you always seem to show the next month so early in the present month! It allows us time to think about and work on our own spreads. Seeing an April spread on March 31 just doesn’t work for so many of us. Really appreciate the timing!

That’s exactly what I hope to achieve - I’m so glad it’s helpful for you! 🥰

Blown away by your talent and how fun you made this look. Would love to be able to create beautiful journals. Thank you for the details included, the music, and the inspiration ❤ PS: Favorite pirate movie: Pirates of the Caribbean. I also love the ride in Disney World 😊

This was so fun!!! I love it!! The more brown tones were right up my alley, and the mood tracker was creative. The giveaway journal was such a great idea. I love seeing the more collagey style setups while still getting to enjoy a more art focused style in your personal journal.

Thanks Leah! It’s been really nice having one video already pre-shot each month too, as much as it was a crunch to get the giveaway journal set up done in a month, it’s helping me out a lot now! 😍 and I LOVED the brown tones for this one, I wonder if you’re rubbing off on me 😉

Pirates!!!!! I love the vibe of this setup and it definitely put me in the mood for a pirate movie night. I have so many favorites but the top of the list has to be Muppet Treasure Island. Tim Curry as Long John Silver is just... *chef's kiss*

Such a fun theme! I have those same bottle papers and this definitely gave me more ideas for how to use them. I had them in my February this year as my habit tracker (drew a calendar into some of the biggest ones), they're so pretty. Favourite movie with a pirate will always be Princess Bride 🏴‍☠👑

Lovely set up! My favorite pirate movie is Hook! Fun info: I used to think rum was probably really delicious and kind of sweet because Jack Sparrow loved it until I tried it and realized I didn’t like it and it didn’t taste like a treat 😂

@ErinSmith 4 ай бұрын

Hook is SO good! I feel you Antz - I can get behind something like a coconut rum, but most of the time I like cocktails better without any alcohol in them at all 🤣 so really I’m ok if the rum is gone!

Oh this is an amazing set up, I love how it's piratey without being all in your face with it. I think my favourite pirate movie has to be The Last Pirate, it's obscure but so worth watching. :)

I had actually stopped tracking sleep and mood because I just didn't really use the information and I needed to shorten bujo set up time buuuut . . . your vidoe has inspired me to track energy levels (which have been fluctuating lately) so I may set up an energy tracker and a sleep tracker to see if they correlate. THanks for the alternate idea of a vintage nautical theme which is great. I appreciate your understanding of those who may want to avoid the piracy theme. I had enjoyed the "Pirates of the Carribean" movies as well but I have now moved to a place where I can no longer romanticize piracy, as fun as it may be. Thank you for your lovely designes. I enjoy your channel.

I don't watch much pirate media, so my answer is a little out of the box here: The Pirate Fairy (it is a Tinkerbell film 😅). This is a really cool setup and inspiring me to think about my April reading journal spreads 🏴‍☠⚓⛴

The way you did the mood tracker was such a interesting idea. I really liked how you did this theme overall though. The burned maps and the jewel tape you used for the borders were my favorites. I actually just finished a book with pirates in it not that long ago so I'm in the pirate mood. 🏴‍☠ To be honest Pirates of the Caribbean is the only pirate movie I can think of right now, but I adore it so that's okay. 🥰

Dear Erin, I just love that theme . The black and white scrolls/books etc from journalsay are actually very thin washi paper stickers on backing paper. They stick in their own but are very transparent. Unfortunately, they have been sold out for months... I have used mine up and am on the lookout for them for quite a time now.

@ErinSmith 4 ай бұрын

Oh I can’t believe I didn’t realise that 🤣 they went to live with the winner of this journal so I don’t have them anymore either. I hope they come back into stock soon!

@teddybeeandme 4 ай бұрын

I love this setup! You also used a lot of 'my' washi tapes 😂 My favourite movie with a pirate is 'The Princess Bride' (Dread Pirate Roberts) and StarDust is a close second

A fun theme. You can just color in the pirate ship if you don't like B&W.

This is such a fun theme! The treasure map mood tracker is just the best thing as well, I don't use a mood tracker, but I'm wondering how else I could use it, maybe in my reading journal for pages read, or something like that. Those map papers are great, I bought that set from Journalsay as well and have used them in a dark academia theme last year as well as a book club spread based on reading around the world. As for favourite movie with pirates it's probably Hook, I was obsessed when I was younger!

Favorite movie with a pirate. An old one... Captain Blood with Errol Flynn. Or perhaps The Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline as the pirate king. Or... The Pirate only because of Gene Kelly dancing in tight shorts. And of course I love Captain Jack. Guess I like pirate movies, huh? 😁
