Hi, in the video below, you’ll see how to draw each of the 4 flowers, I’ll be using in February bullet journal spreads! I usually do pink and red spreads for February to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this year I decided to go with something a bit different. Purple is one of my favorite colors and I’ve been working on practicing lots of flower doodles so I decided to try a pale purple planning theme this February. I’ll also be using a Sakura Gelly Roller pen to add metallic accents.
The spreads are going to be easy to do and more info is coming soon! If you want to learn more about planning together in February, check out my last post on materials needed. I hope you follow along and plan with me in February!

Welcome! This month I’m so excited to share a sneak peak and lots more how-tos on a fun and easy metallic violet theme. This theme has easy-to-doodle flowers, combined in lots of spread styles, with copper metallic accents to liven up the pages! It’s a bit reminiscent of wedding or bridal shower invitations and just the perfect amount of romantic for a month containing Valentine’s Day. 🙂
To get started, let’s look at supplies. This month, I tried to keep things simple. I used 4 colors of Tombow Dual Brush Pens plus a colorless blender pen. The exact set of colors I used were:
228 – Gray Green
249 – Hunter Green
603 – Periwinkle
569 – Jet Blue
N00 – Colorless Blender
If you don’t have the full set of pens, and are looking to start a collection, the Secondary Color Pack has a light and dark green and purple that would work really well with this month’s them. It also includes a blender pen.
Next, I used pens that are waterproof. My favorite of this type are Staedtler Pigment Liner Pens. I used the 0.5 and 0.2 sizes most often for these spreads.
For metallic accents, I’m using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen in metallic copper. This one can be found in a set of three metallics or 10 fun metallic colors. I love the way these can add sparkle. Word of warning though, as you’re using these, give the page a few seconds to dry before touching or turning pages, the ink goes on thick and can smudge if not completely dry!
For other supplies, I used a basic ruler. My favorite is a simple clear one, so you can see underneath, but here are a fewcuteones if you’re in the market!
That’s it! That’s the full set of supplies used to create a month’s worth of metallic floral bujo spreads in pretty lilac and deep purple tones!
I hope you’ll join along this month so we can create fun spreads together.

One of the biggest pain points I’ve heard from those who are starting with planning and journaling is carving out time to plan. Luckily, planning does not have to be time consuming!  Over on Instagram I’ve started a new series that features planner spreads that take just 10 minutes or less to create.  These are simple, easy to follow planner pages that can help you get started planning. Be sure to follow me over on Instagram so you don’t miss an update.
If you use any of these spread ideas, please post and share! Just tag me/include the #tenminuteplans tag!  You may be featured online!
Supplies:
Another trick I’m using for this series to quite literally lighten the load is to work with a limited supply set.  I normally carry quite a collection of pens and tools around while I plan. For this series, I’m sticking to the basics:
Tombow Pens are great for lettering, filling areas, and doing thick lines. I’m using one color for this series – black. Did you know you can buy colors individually online???
My favorite tool for drawing. You can use it to create circles in a wide variety of sizes. I find it much more accurate than a compass and it allows you to measure angles like a protractor as well.  It’s also super portable since it’s flat.
Here is one of my favorite rulers.  It’s not fancy, but the edge is crisp and lays flat against the page.
Example Spreads
Here is the first set of spreads. I’m so excited to share these.  They were all easy to do, take less than ten minutes, and can easily be modified to fit your journal or planner theme!  Leave a comment if you like any of these or have spreads you’d like to see posted here!
It’s been a busy week here at Productive Style! I wanted to share with you a new weekly spread, and my method for goal setting!
Weekly Spread Time!
First, the new weekly spread I’m calling the Floral Tracker Spread! I’ve been enamored recently with all of the beautiful floral and botanical line drawings and doodles popping up on Instagram (partially due to this awesome book by Peggy Dean!). I tried out drawing a flower as part of the weekly spread. This one has space for lots of items each day, a roomy to-do list, and a mega tracker for all the good habits I want to follow each week! Â I also used my new favorite tool – the Helix Circle and Angle Maker. Â Check it out below and over at YouTube!
Note: My YouTube channel is still in it’s baby phase, so please like, subscribe, and follow along. I still have a lot to learn, and am planning to do a weekly video release over the next several months!
Goals, goals, goals….
Next up, is goal setting! Â I love setting big (scary) goals and trying to achieve them. Â This week I’m going to share a journaling spread that helps out in breaking big, difficult goals into little, easy actions.
I also added lots of color to this one for fun!
1. Let’s break it down. Â First, you choose one BIG goal and put here:
2. Next, think about how this could break down into phases or smaller goals. Â Maybe each of these smaller goals take a week or a month to accomplish. Â For each of the smaller goals, think about a deadline. Â Be kind to yourself and set a realistic and specific deadline. Â The deadline should not be so tight that it makes you stress.
3. Now, break apart the first small goal into logical steps. Â Each of these should be something well-defined and easy. Â If smaller tasks still seem too big, make them a small goal and break them apart again!
4. Finally, use the action items section as your to-do list and add the next set of actions you want to focus on!
Happy goal planning! Â Â For this, I’m planning an exciting new project I’ll be releasing this fall. Â I can’t share too many details yet, but it will be centered around holidays and I CANNOT wait to share with you all!

Now a question for you – what big goal are you working toward? Â Â Let me know in the comments!!
I’m so excited that I finally get to share some exciting news with you! Â I’ve been working on making space to film videos and am learning to film and edit. Â This week, I recorded my weekly spread and have shared it on YouTube! Â Please let me know any videos you would like to see and any feedback! Â I’m trying to find my first 100 YouTube subscribers so I can do fancy things like have an easy to read channel name and address, so please subscribe!

I’m calling this spread “Believe in Dreams” because of the quote included. Â Â Please check it out!!
