I’m so happy you are using your bullet journal as a creative journal. I love the digital planning series and so happy you are going to keep using it. Digital planning is very versatile and anything done digitally can also be done with paper and pen. I love that you continue to experiment with new ideas and mediums and you think outside the box.

[rungirl]

Kara thank you for all that you do. I love that you are willing to try new things and share them with us. Please don’t be discouraged by the people who resent your courage to step out of the box and love something new. You do you!

[ModernSeamstress]

I’ve enjoyed watching your process for both paper and digital planning. People change, so naturally our planning needs will change and I appreciate you sharing your journey with all of us. Kudos for starting fresh with no rules!

[kerrycrow]

Thank you, Kara! I love digital planning AND pen and paper too. And I love that you are human on these videos and that you experience the same kinds of thoughts we all do when life takes over and journaling/planning is not going precisely “to plan”. I love watching all you do whether in paper OR digital. Also, I don’t really understand why people care whether you do this in digital or paper. I watched when you were in paper and tried to recreate and be inspired by what you did on paper in my digital journal. I don’t understand why people are so locked on to the media vs the inspiration you give regardless! Thanks for all you do. I am so excited to see you here in Charlotte in the fall.

I’ll be sad to not see you planning in your journal anymore, but I’m glad you’re taking some time to embrace beautiful imperfections and do what works the best for you and your lifestyle. As always, your June page was gorgeous, and it I love your idea of using the brush pen to control the water. Definitely gives me some ideas for when/if I decide to take up watercolors in my journal. Sending love and positive energy your way!

[IMLuckyWoman]

Sad to hear you won't be planning in your bullet journal anymore. Your videos are some of the first that got me started so I have a soft spot for them. I do hope you enjoy your creativity journal.

[a.c.taylor]

Hi Kara! Although I'll miss your paper planning videos, I'm so excited for you that you've been able to combine both the digital and paper planning worlds. Looking forward to what you'll create in the future! Kudos for accepting that everything doesn't have to be perfect - it's all part of the process, and hey, life isn't perfect. And I can *totally* relate to the "saying goodbye" to a completed journal. Our journals are a part of our daily lives - through all of the ups, downs and neutrals.

Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Sometimes we need to be reminded it’s okay for us to be uncertain

[erinmodlin]

I actually love the buckling! Gives it an old-timey feel. I use ball point sometimes for the same reason, to give more texture and wrinkle to my journal.

[ingeping]

Good for you Kara, to make a fresh start in a new notebook. This can be so refreshing. So can be the way that you are going to journal coming month. You know, this is axactly the way that I journal. Throw all the perfection overboard. Just take every day at a time, go with the flow like you said it. And this way it will not be any problem to skip a day or two, when you feel like it. Journalling is supposed to make things relaxed for yourself. You go girl! (And I love your June title page) Greetz, Ingrid

[alaskancat]

I love your art. Moreso, I watched this video because of how real you are. I keep this little quote in the beginning of one of my notebooks that says my life isn’t perfect and neither is my planner. 😌
You’ve given me some great ideas with this. Thanks so much. 💜

[abbielynnjuett]

I congratulate you in your new decision regarding your freestyle of journal notebook. I have been doing my journal this way from the beginning. I have different moments of trying other ideas but seem to go back to my free style manner of journal writing and time keeping. I really enjoy the freedom. Enjoy yours.

[werelemur]

Thanks partly to this video, I've realized that one of the things I need to learn is to know the difference between finishing something because it is something that will actually help me achieve a goal or bring me joy, vs finishing something just because I don't want to leave it unfinished.

[HappySmilingGurl]

Thanks Kara! You’re definitely allowed to explore as you wish! Go for it! Don’t listen to the haters.

[dustbinflowers]

I’m glad you’re enjoying digital planning, it’s nice to do new things! I personally am not interested, nor have the resources to do it in the first place, so I’m one of the group that has checked out over the past month. I’ll also most likely continue to do so with all digital related videos, but please continue to do what you love!!! ❤️

Edit: I’m so sad you’re not doing any planning in the new notebook, I understand, but I’m torn. You were my inspiration for my own bullet journal, but I know all good things must come to an end. As I won’t be watching any of your digital stuff, I’ll stick around for a bit for your creative things and see if it meshes with me. I’ll support you in everything you do, even if it’s in thought and in passing. Hope all of this brings you new love. ❤️

[EmiLou.Arts]

I love this! I have to add watercolor pencils to my shopping list! I have been playing in the Scribbles that Matter Bullet Planner and I love getting inspiration from you. Your lettering is so gorgeous.😘

[rosalbamarte]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas Kara. In one of your earlier videos you had a quote “follow your arrow wherever it may lead” something like that. This is your journey am just happy your willing to share with us as much as you do. Digital, paper it doesn’t matter this your journey and yours alone. Have a great Memorial weekend!

[lindaleefranson]

Yay to fresh starts! Love your videos. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

[m.golden]

I love new notebooks too! I'm gonna miss your traditional bullet journaling videos but I'm excited to see how digital planning works out. Love you!

[cherylthomae-barnes]

I totally get the new notebook thing, for me it's the same with fountain pens, I look at them for a day or so before I ink them up...weird right!?! Loved seeing the pages in your old notebook that weren't "planned" or "perfect" but lovely just the same. Hope your new notebook will bring you joy and happy days ahead!🤓🌻👒🖋📚
