Hi there friends! In this July 2024 Plan With Me, I’m setting up my black-page bujo with a deep sea creatures theme—think “let’s go diving into the eerie unknown” vibes, but still cozy. I’m working in my “Starry Night” journal from Scribbles That Matter, and I’m leaning into high-contrast supplies that actually show up on black paper (because if you’ve ever tried to make a spread readable on dark pages… you get it). This one is a little late (apologies), but I wanted to make it feel worth the wait with a whole under-the-sea mood. I walk through my monthly planning setup and the decorative choices that make black pages feel intentional instead of intimidating—using mini calendars for structure, text washi for quick layering, and white gelly roll details to bring everything to life. If you’re looking for black page bullet journal theme ideas, or you want a monthly setup that’s functional but still artsy and atmospheric, this is exactly the kind of spread I love making: spooky-ocean-adjacent, but soft and stationery-forward.
