Starting off with this Harry potter inspired October bullet journal theme, because the winter time is for a Harry Potter marathon! I think those who are Harry Potter fans will truly appreciate this bullet journal and know which movie it’s from 😉
The drawings on this bullet journal are very impressive. Choose a favourite winter movie for your October bullet journal theme and draw away.

Pumpkin lattes are for the win during winter! You know Halloween and winter is here when we get a pumpkin latte. This journal spread is beautifully drawn and I love the colors used to represent the pumpkin latte. There are many hot drinks that can inspire your October bullet journal theme!

True to October is this Halloween inspired journal cover, but the illustrations are very adorable and have so much details to them! All the little stars and mushrooms and crystals just really adds that finishing touch to the larger illustrations. And the cat is adorable!

Carrying on with the Halloween theme, this artist has used her bullet journal theme page like an art journal and has added lots of collaging onto the spread. This can add more depth to the page and give you more room for creativity,

If you love the idea of having skeletons on your October bullet journal but want a happier twist on them, then take this theme page for inspiration. This artist has done a great job of adding color and pattern to skeletons which are usually known for the gloomier side of art.
With an artistic eye, anything can be switched up to how we like!

This has to be one of the most dreamiest dragons I’ve ever seen! A very magical and aesthetic twist on a dragon, such artistic skill. If you look closely, the main color on this illustration is purple, but it’s just in different shades. If you get stuck for color ways, sometimes you only need one.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a witches hat. Another magical and girly take on usually something that is known for it’s darkness. This lovely drawing even has flowers on the witches hat!
number nine

A monochrome October bullet journal inspired by witch craft. Black paper has been laid down first to give the black and white background. Using white gel pen on the black paper and black on the white, it shows off all the detailed drawings really nicely.

A pumpkin inspired monthly spread by this artist. The pumpkins have been placed to make a lovely border around the calendar. The colors used are very autumnal and very pumpkin vibes!!
Having a calendar at the beginning of the monthly spread is a good way to keep track of the days and great is you don’t know what to fill your theme page with.

A cute witchy and potion themed October journal theme page. An idea that’s inspired me by looking at this theme page, is drawing a self portrait of oneself as a witch ect. Something like how this artist has done, but in your own style. Some food for thought!

This journal theme page has been inspired by Thanksgiving it looks like! The illustrations on the page are beautiful and give of a warm and cosy feeling. So much details in these drawings, from the pies to the coffee, to even the table mat!

Colors of winter and simple patterns, foliage and a little artistic flare. This theme page is simple but yet not! It is a ‘moodboard’ style cover page that has a lot of smaller details in. My favourite is the reindeer drawings propped as cards, bringing in the Christmas feel.

If you want something pretty, but struggle with drawing or painting, then try something like this. This artist has collaged some pretty flower borders onto the page and simply handwritten October in the middle. Making a theme page doesn’t have to be complicated.

A mushroom inspired theme page, and done so nicely. The colors and position really bring this page together. My favourite is the small details of the wash tape around the ages. Sometimes it’s the small details that bring the page together.
number sixteen

A theme page heavily inspired by all things spooky! This artist has put a lot of thought into the layout of the page and where each motif goes. The colors and composition all work nicely. I love the stars at the back, it gives such a magical feel to the page.
number seventeen

Another very dreamy theme page, inspired by clouds and a whale! It just goes to show, that we can mix anything on paper as artist and still make it work! The clouds are just so perfectly drawn and look so real. It looks like some cotton wool has been glued on to the clouds to give it more texture.

If you love typography, then you will find something like this inspiring. This artist has literally taken the word ‘October’ as a form of art and turned it into a work of art. There are so many ways to styles and ways to write one word, the possibilities are endless.

A simple but affective October bullet journal spread. This one makes a statement because of the bold colors and the ‘slime’ art one the other side of the page.

Something lovely about this journal spread, besides the stunning illustration, is the ‘goals’ foe the month. Making goals for the month on your theme page can keep you on track and you can have it as a reminder. It is not only motivating but helps one to keep on track with priorities.

I like this theme page, because it’s simple but yet has a lot of depth to it. It looks like it has been sketched with simple drawing pencils. Everyone that says winter and Halloween all on a few shelves!

Journaling onto black paper seems suitable for an October bullet journal spread and we are here for it! This spread has been inspired by astrology and the way it has been illustrated is stunning.
It can be difficult to work on a different colored paper other than black because we almost have to work reverse and see what light colors work best on the paper.
