I Can't Draw, But Want My Layout to Look Like I Can !

It's That Time! August Bullet Journal Set Up.

Rose is the theme for this month. What if you can't draw roses? 

Hello Butterflies,

Today I will share with you how I got this look but can't draw roses. If you have any adult coloring books laying around you can use it for a theme that you want.

You are probably saying to yourself " What ".  Yes, I said Adult Coloring Book!

I have a couple of coloring books laying around and thought to myself why can't I draw like that. So started flipping through and found a page that had images of roses that I liked.  So, I went ahead and drew up my monthly view of August. Think how can I add these flowers to my layout?

Why Not Trace Them!

With using a Leuchturm 1917 Journal I can place the coloring page under it and see the out lining of the picture, as coloring pages have a dark out line to the images.

I place the page under the monthly view and started thinking how I want to lay the rose around my calendar.  I got out my trusty pencil and started tracing the flowers on to the page as I vision them.  Then went through with my Sharpie Pen and went over each line for each flower.

This took me a couple hours to do, but I only worked on it when I had time to. So, I may only set down for 5 to 10 minutes at a time to work on it. This way I was not overwhelmed with the process. I normally don't beautify my Bullet Journal but want to try some thing different.


I hope this may help you with the problem that  I have with I can't draw some images that I want in my Bullet Journal.

As always have a good day Butterflies, see you soon.
