Turn a Bullet Journal Mess into Art
Think a mess in your bullet journal or other creative endeavor can’t be turned into an artistic masterpiece?
(insert dramatic emphasis)
Think again!
I will show you how I turned a complete watercolor mess-up into an even more beautiful and creative monthly spread in this week’s YouTube “journal with me” video for February.
February’s bullet journal monthly spread has a complete Valentine theme and after messing up the lettering, I decided to roll with it and try something a little different with a watercolor background.
This once again shows how anyone can be creative and sometimes those mess ups can be even more beautiful than what was originally planned. Inspiration can come from the simple action of creation.

An Artistic Mess is a Great Way to be Creative
I hope this inspires you to get creative. Let my messiness show you that perfection is boring. Allow your creativity to be a release and allow yourself to simply play with your art supplies and be free as you create something. Sometimes those messes can turn into masterpieces
