Hi friends—this month I’m setting up my August spreads with a vintage porcelain theme in my black-page bullet journal, and it’s honestly the coziest little sit-down. If you love moody layouts but still want them to feel soft and dreamy, this is the vibe: inky black pages, creamy whites, and those delicate porcelain-inspired details that pop so beautifully against dark paper. I walk you through my monthly planning flow and how I like to balance function (so I’ll actually use the spreads) with a theme that feels calm and collected. I’m using my Scribbles That Matter bullet journal as the base, and then layering in bright, opaque highlights with Posca paint pens plus crisp gel details with Sakura Gelly Rolls—because black paper deserves supplies that actually show up. Along the way I share little choices I make to keep the spreads readable (without losing the aesthetic), and I keep it super relaxed—grab a cozy drink and plan with me. If you’ve been wanting to try a black-page bujo theme but felt intimidated, this is a really approachable one to start with.
