February 2023 Romantic Valentines Day Bujo Collage Theme
While I’m not usually a Valentines Day girlie, I’ll be spending February 14th entirely on planes this year. Yikes! That’s why I’ve decided to acknowledge the day of love, chocolates and candy hearts in my journal this year - as a nod to the existence of the day since my other half and I won’t actually have the option to celebrate! Not that we usually do anyway!
Double Cover Spread - With Window!
I thought it might be fun to take a risk with my cover spread and add a window through to the page behind. I have these very cute window frame stickers that were perfect for the job! (All links will be at the bottom of this post) . Once you turn the page, the “February” title is framed in the window instead of the tiny calendar. I added a Valentines’ appropriate quote split in two above and below to calendar to keep the love theme running.
Calendar Page
I’ll be away for the first half of February and I’m not taking this journal with me, so I opted for a small-ish single-page calendar for the month. I’m not expecting to need lots of space for events or reminders!
Goals, Musings & Favourites Page
I love that this page reminds me of a comfy cosy quilt! The “goals” section is for big tasks or milestones I want to hit over the course of the month, the “musings” section is for a few lines about what I’m focused on this month, and the “favs” section is for whatever I’m into during February! It’s not important info, but I find it really interesting to look back over after some time has passed!
Habit Tracker & Mood Tracker Spread
Since I’m away for the first two weeks of February, I’ve set up my trackers to only cover the later half of the month. I’m definitely going to need them to help me get back on track after almost five weeks on holidays!
Content Planner Spread
As opposed to my month overview calendar, my content planning calendar has lots of space for planning! I actually had February set up really early - like in December - so I could schedule all my content for both January and February ahead of my trip, and keep my Instagram and Youtube accounts posting without me needing to think about it. It worked really well!
Weekly Spreads
If these look familiar, it’s because I’ve used almost the same layout I used in January! It’s fun with its cute little dutch door in the middle, and I’ve used it to feature a very lovely ballerina fairy!
