This April bullet journal monthly is so light and airy. I can just imagine standing in a field watching all of the hot air balloons float away.
You don't have to simply endure the rain while you wait for May flowers. You CAN enjoy the rain. There is beauty in the drab, and this spread captures that perfectly.
Creating a digital bullet journal is a scary jump to make, but once I did it, I never regretted it! I still use my paper bullet journal for my personal planning, but I use a digital bullet journal for work and I love it.
Sure, you can wait until May to do a flower theme, or you can celebrate flowers this month by incorporating flowers into your April bullet journal.

April is the month that a lot of flowers start to bloom, so welcome them with some dramatic colors. Adding vibrant colors to your April setup is sure to get you into the full swing of spring!
Create a dutch door for your April bullet journal to really add an extra element. A dutch door allows you to create a dramatic effect while also giving your setup a ton of flexibility!
Sometimes you just want a spread that works and you don't want to have to do anything super fancy. In those situations, I like to just create a simple setup, but add watercolor backgrounds to add a dash of color.
It can be your favorite fairytale, movie, song, whatever, just use you April spread to help you remember the good ole' days, and it is sure to put a smile on your face every time.

I'm sorry, I know I've probably included too many hot air balloon themes in this, but come on, how could I not include this one?
Bees are the unsung heroes of spring, so give them the love and recognition they deserve in your April bullet journal. Plus, as an added bonus, if people see your spread you can use it as an opportunity to spread awareness about how important bees really are.
I love this spread. The concept is simple, and the execution is fantastic.
Of course, you can always use an egg theme for Easter, or you can add some bunnies! Personally, I am always looking for an excuse to introduce more fuzzy things into my life.

Who says a bullet journal can't be art? Create a spread inspired by your favorite classical artists to create enthralling designs that are also familiar.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of galaxy themes. These amazing looking designs look super complex, but they are actually pretty simple to make. Plus, I just can't help but to sit and stare at them for a few minutes to take in all of the details.
Nostalgia is always a great theme idea, so why not turn your April bullet journal into a storybook? I've never seen a theme like this before, but I love the creativity of it!
Between Easter and flowers beginning to bloom, April just screams pink to me. So embrace that feeling and add some pink to your April bullet journal!
Sometimes the easiest way to create a stunning setup is by just adding small touches that really bring the spread to life.

The options are nearly endless, so just have some fun and experiment!
