Introduction
Good morning, everyone! Welcome to today's studio vlog. I have a pretty chill day ahead with a mix of work and creative projects. My top priority is working on a custom bullet journal order for Maddie. She has provided me with a set color palette, and I want to ensure the journal looks cohesive by using only the colors she specified. Alongside that, I'll be brainstorming a theme for my own May bullet journal and designing stickers and printables for my Etsy shop. I've been using my iPad for these designs and I'm excited to continue that today.
Custom Bullet Journal Orders
Today, my focus is on completing the weekly spreads for Maddie's custom bullet journal. I finished all the monthly themes last week, and now it's time to tackle the weeklies. Maddie requested a purple koala theme for October, so I've designed the spreads with cute koalas in the corner and columns for to-do lists and shopping lists. The layout looks adorable, and I can't wait to see how Maddie likes it.
Brainstorming for May Bullet Journal Theme
After finishing the weeklies, I decided to take a break from Maddie's custom order and shift my attention to brainstorming a theme for my own May bullet journal. I usually start by sketching a trial run of the cover page and mapping out the pages I'll have for the month. This helps me visualize the overall layout and color palette. I played around with the idea of using a heart design with intricate patterns, but I'm not entirely satisfied with it. I might save the heart idea for another time and try something simpler for now.
Designing Stickers and Printables for Etsy Shop
To take a break from brainstorming, I switched gears to designing stickers in Procreate on my iPad. I asked for suggestions on Instagram, and someone recommended postage stamp stickers. I combined that idea with my desire to create bouquet illustrations, resulting in a unique design. I'm considering removing the person from the sticker before listing it in my Etsy shop. Alongside this design, I also created a sticker featuring a grocer bag filled with groceries. These are currently my top three designs, and I'm excited to see how they'll turn out once printed.
Organizing Markers for Custom Bullet Journals
When working on custom bullet journals, I like to ensure that the colors used are cohesive and match the client's specified color palette. For this purpose, I organize my markers in advance. While I usually store them in a vertical storage unit made from cardboard and yogurt containers, I separate the specific colors requested by the customer. This helps me maintain consistency throughout the journal and make it visually appealing.
Creating Weekly Spreads for Bullet Journal
Once I took a break from brainstorming, I dived back into Maddie's custom bullet journal to work on the weekly spreads. Since the theme is a purple koala design, I continued to draw the weeklies for October. Each page consists of the days of the week on the side, a cute koala in one corner, and separate columns for to-do lists and shopping lists. This layout provides a balance between functionality and aesthetics, and it's always exciting to see how each spread comes together.
Planning for the Next Month's Bullet Journal
To ensure a smooth transition and timely content creation, I like to plan ahead for my next month's bullet journal. I begin by sketching out a trial run of the cover page and outlining the pages I'll include throughout the month. This helps me visualize the overall design and color palette I want to incorporate. In this particular planning session, I experimented with different color palettes and played around with ideas like a heart design. However, I still haven't settled on a final theme and will continue to explore more options.
Exploring Different Themes for Bullet Journal
As I continue to brainstorm themes for my May bullet journal, I'm exploring various options to find the perfect fit. In the past, I've tried themes like floral, celestial, and travel-inspired designs. Each theme brings its own unique charm to the bullet journal and sets the tone for the entire month. I'm excited to see what creative direction I'll take for May and how it will inspire me throughout the month.
Trying Different Designs for Stickers
Designing stickers is a fun and creative process for me. I've been experimenting with various designs on my iPad, ranging from postage stamps to illustrations of everyday objects like grocery bags. Each design offers a unique touch and serves a specific purpose. I'm currently testing the quality of these stickers from different printing companies to ensure they meet my standards before listing them in my Etsy shop.
Testing Sticker Quality from Different Websites
As I venture into designing stickers for my Etsy shop, I want to ensure the quality is top-notch. Since I don't own a Cricut machine, I rely on different printing companies to bring my designs to life. I've ordered samples from various websites to test the print quality, color accuracy, and durability of the stickers. This allows me to make an informed decision about which printing company to work with to offer the best product to my customers.
Showcasing New Funlet Lamp and Product Review
I recently received a new lamp from Funlet, and I'm excited to share it with you. This lamp offers different lighting settings, including a cool light setting, warm light setting, and the brightest one. It also comes with a unique feature where holding the head changes the brightness, and a simple tap turns it on and off. I find this lamp incredibly convenient as it doesn't require a cord and can be easily charged. In addition to the lamp, Funlet also sent me a cute little character whose name is Andrew. This character also changes brightness when you hold its head and adds a charming touch to my workspace. I want to express my gratitude to Funlet for gifting me these products, and I highly recommend checking out their wide range of cordless and innovative lighting solutions.
