2023 NEW Bullet Journal Setup | A5 Archer & Olive

Today, I'm setting up a NEW Bullet Journal for 2023. This is definitely a more labour intensive bujo plan with me, so if you're looking for a minimalist bujo setup, just skip the painting parts as the spreads I'm setting up are still very useful for new bullet journalers.
I am using watercolour for all of my spreads today, continuing my yearly colour palettes.

I really wish I was I creative enough to do a bullet journal 😢

[mellorin]

amazing, from the thumbnail I really thought "wow archer came up with such a pretty cover??" legit thought it was a perfect digital motif design, the colors, forms, the white gouche popping and just everything is so so prettyyyy

[carolineace_bujo]

Vero this is so cool! I’m terrified to paint but now I want to try it you made it seem so relaxing 😍 love your set up the color and the leaves 🍃🫶🏼

[evelynatcraneshearth]

💕 I'm using that journal next year too but starting in April. I can't wait to see how many months fit into a 192 page journal for me and how many months you fit into it!

Happy Holidays!

[lauramcalister]

how do you keep the page from crumpling? I have an A & O notebook and got such buckling of the paper. Is it the amount of water I used?? This is simply gorgeous - can't wait to try it!

[itsalexikk]

Aww Vero the journal is stunning and your set up is stunning! I had no idea that the side of the pages were pink! That's so cute! Also, I love how your dress matches the vibe 🥰

[gojenn]

I did like this video -- however, once we've seen the leaves painted, we could speed through that much more quickly. This should've been a fifteen minute video. Very beautiful & thoughtful & useful.

[Nana-nsjp]

Hello, your video is right on time I was just looking for idea and this one is 😍😍😍😍😍. Thank you for your inspirations now I have a theme for my set up.

[findingeffie]

Do you find that the A&O pages wrinkle a lot with watercolors? I am using watercolor in my bullet journal for the first time this year and LOVE how they look, but the pages wrinkle and warp quite a bit. I am using a cheaper journal though.

[rachelkeerie]

I only just found your channel and you're awesome! Representing Aussies so well! Thanks for your video, I have to go check out your channel...

[aragona]

I will say, i find it very relaxing WATCHING you paint hehe. But I do want to try the concept of drawing out a pattern as a way to relax.

[kimethaturner]

12:09 i really like the calendar and how it turned out. The blue line gives a good pop of color and balance. Very cute even though unintentional.

[j.elizabeth]

This isn't your basic bullet journaling, this is bullet journal alchemy.

[sarahkovacs]

Love this! And yes on the cricut tweezers! I cannot stand them! I feel like they do the opposite to what they should!

[melanieannplans]

Hi Vero! New subscriber here. 🙂 I'm so glad your channel showed up in my Recommended feed here on YT! This was a great first video to get an idea of your bujo style and your personality. I love your energy! And your artwork for these annual spreads is fantastic. I can't wait to see what spreads you create next!

[Somebodyelse]

I don't see how that future log would be usable

[ScrappyCassy]

Gold foiled numbers woulda been cool too

[WixieCreations]

C'est trop beau, ce thème bleuté est magnifique ! C'est top de changer de façon d'incorporer les feuillages à chaque double page, un coup au centre, un coup en bannière, un coup dans un angle, ça reste cohérent entre les pages tout en variant le style, je suis fan.

Hi new subscriber here I have been in the emergency room since 7:30 last night and I don't go home until 6:30 in the morning because they didn't have a ride I went through non-emergency ambulance because of some health issues that I've been having with and I wanted to get physically checked out thanks a lot for your great video! hope to see more! Xx

[tootsfour]

Very nice video. How tale Ted you are! Please explain something for me. What is the reason for using the number of the week in planners?
