Bullet Journal 2019 A Faire Soi Meme Page De Garde

Bonjour mes amis créatifs! Ça va? Settling in with a café au lait, maybe a pain au chocolat? Perfect. Let's chat about bullet journals. And more specifically, about 2019 bullet journal cover pages. Faire soi-même, of course! Because, well, who wants a store-bought soul in their personal planner?

Ah, the page de garde. The cover page. It’s your bullet journal's handshake. The first impression. Think of it as a tiny, bespoke art gallery just for you. A little *'bonjour'* to greet every entry. Doesn’t that sound lovely?

But where to begin? Feeling intimidated? Don’t be! Remember, this isn’t about perfection. It's about *you*. Your style. Your goals for 2019 (even though we're reminiscing now, the principles are timeless!). Think about what 2019 meant to you. What *vibes* were you chasing?

Ideas to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

Need a little spark? Let’s brainstorm. Think about themes! Did you have a word for the year? Mine was *'joie'*! I wrote it in big, bubbly letters with watercolor flowers all around it. Simple, but so very *moi*.

Nature's Embrace

Always a classic, right? Leaves, flowers, vines... even just a simple sprig of lavender pressed onto the page. You could trace leaves, draw some quick doodles, or even glue real, dried flowers! Add a touch of aquarelle for a dreamy effect. Imagine delicate watercolor washes creating a soft, ethereal backdrop.

And speaking of watercolour, are you intimidated by it? Don’t be! Just grab some inexpensive student-grade paints and play. It’s meant to be messy and imperfect. Think of happy little accidents!

Minimalist Chic

Perhaps you’re more a *'less is more'* type? A single, striking geometric shape? A bold, handwritten quote? A simple black-and-white design can be incredibly powerful. Think clean lines and intentional negative space. A few well-placed stickers can also create a chic, minimalist look.

Have you ever tried brush lettering? It looks so elegant! But honestly, it's easier than it looks. Start with some basic practice strokes and you’ll be surprised how quickly you improve. Your bullet journal will thank you for the added *élégance*.

A Touch of Whimsy

Go wild! Doodles, cartoons, quirky characters... let your inner child run free. Maybe you loved unicorns in 2019. Or sloths. Or tiny, adorable mushrooms. Embrace the silly! Don't forget your favorite markers.

And remember, there are no rules! Who says you can't mix media? Combine watercolor with pen and ink, stickers with stamps, washi tape with glitter! The more *personnel*, the better!

Making It Your Own: A Few Tips

So you've got some ideas. Great! Now, how to make it truly *yours*? Here are a few little thoughts:

Don't be afraid to experiment. This is just paper! If you don't like it, you can always start over.
Look for inspiration everywhere. Magazines, Pinterest, Instagram... but don't just copy! Adapt and personalize.
Gather your supplies. Pens, pencils, markers, watercolors, washi tape, stickers... the more the merrier!
Take your time. This isn't a race. Enjoy the process. Put on some music, light a candle, and savor the creative moment.
Most importantly: Have fun! If you're not enjoying it, you're doing it wrong.

Do you know what else is fun? Making mistakes! I know, it sounds counterintuitive, but seriously, the “mistakes” are often what give your creation character. Embrace the imperfections. They tell a story.

Ultimately, your 2019 bullet journal cover page is a reflection of *you*. It's a little piece of your soul captured on paper. So let it be messy, let it be imperfect, let it be authentically *you*.

And now, it’s time for another sip of coffee! Maybe a little more chocolat? I hope you’re feeling inspired and ready to create your own *magnifique page de garde*. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to do this. Just let your creativity flow and enjoy the process. Bonne chance et à bientôt!
