November Ideas For Your Journal
We’ll start this post with something different.
Inspiration for a Bullet Journal theme can come from anywhere, so I gathered some fun things that happened in November here.
We’ll start with some fun holidays happening this month:
- Thanksgiving
- Sandwich day
- International Merlot Day
- World Origami Day
- Play Monopoly Day
- Scented Candle Day
- Banana pudding lovers day
These are pretty silly and not official holidays, but they are still fun and hopefully inspiring.
Next up are some random interesting facts about November.
They can be useful in a trivia night for sure:
- November birthstone is the radiant topaz. It symbolizes strength and honor. The ancient Greeks also believed that the stone could make one invisible.
- For Anglo-Saxons, November had two names. The first was Wind Monath because the wind would start to chill the bones. The second was Blood Monath, named because the cattle went to slaughter in November.
- Shakespeare never mentioned November in any of his works.
- November is also the month that breeds the most serial killers.
- According to statistics, November is also the month when the most memes are posted and shared on social media.
Well, it seems like an interesting month!
I’m not sure how useful this info was for your Bullet Journal, but I enjoyed it.
So let’s switch to journaling and see some inspiring cover pages.
November Bullet Journal Cover Pages
I love creating cover pages in my Bullet Journal. They are a way to be creative, great for dividing your months, and perfect for representing the color scheme, theme, and general aesthetics you go for in your monthly setup.
That’s why when I talk about theme inspirations, I always share cover pages.
Here are some of the pages I’ve been creating in my Bullet Journal sicne 2018, along with some stunning inspirations from other fantastic creators. That way, you get a lot of variety in ideas and styles.
Fall Bullet Journal Theme
We’re starting from your classic Fall theme; this cover page does it justice. I love this because it lets you use some very bright, beautiful colors.
Speaking of colors, if you want the same one, this creator uses Crayola Super Tips; they come in 150 colors, are pretty affordable, and work well for brush lettering.
Coffee Bullet Journal Theme
Coffee is probably the coziest theme you can imagine, so it’s perfect for the cold November.
It’s a very clevel idea taht the cretaor did a top down view – that way a lot of doodles, incluuding coffee cup doodles, are easier to use and the variety you get is from different coffee art you can think of.
This is my take on the coffee page, and I decided to put it together with a bit of a book theme, because isn’t it the coziest to have a cup of coffee while reading a cozy book under a blanket in chilly November.
I went for the bright colors, which is also an option. As much as I love the brown aesthetic, I can’t recreate this; my style is all about color.
Lazy Time Home Bullet Journal Theme Idea
In the cold weather, nothing is sweeter than hiding at home in your comfort zone and reading a good book. It’s a great theme idea to bring the same vibes to your Bullet Journal.
I love how this creator used little pieces of books; I think it is very fitting for November and makes that cozy, a bit retro feel.
November Bullet Journal Idea: Baking
Speaking of cozy themes, baking is right up there with coffee. I can’t bake, but I can doodle baking things and make them cute.
I used a few little effects here to enhance that theme. First, I used a thicker pen to outline all the doodles. Second, I used just one color to add a little detail to each doodle.
Bakery Theme
I decided to put this as a separate theme. You could also call it a tea party, wouldn’t you agree?
I also want to note that these tiny doodles are adorable. I always find that it looks much cuter if you doodle something small.
Minimalist Bullet Journal Theme
The minimalist Bullet Journal theme is beautiful for any month, including November.
I love this style the most because it just requires one pen. It’s also very calming to create those patterns, so it works a bit like a little meditation when you make this cover page.
Lunar Magic Bullet Journal Theme
Potions and witchcraft are probably more of an October theme, but I think it works for November just as well.
I love that she used those shimmery watercolors; I bet they look even better in real life.
Brown Pumpkins BuJo
Usually, I’m not a big fan of brown, but it creates a very comfortable feel, which is perfect for Fall.
Sunflowers and pumpkins are the best decorations if you want this feel.
I had to include this one, since it uses the traditional bright colors for the pumpkin theme.
Those shades of orange and yellow make it look like a happy and bright page. And I think the lights and candles make the cover page look almost festive.
Woodling Creatures Theme
That’s one of the classic Fall Bullet Journal themes. I adore how cute these animals are; Chloe really did a great job.
The colors are also really cute and soft; the creator used watercolors to achieve this perfectly.
Sushi Bullet Journal Idea
Sushi is pretty easy to doodle, and it can be very cute. I also like to animate my sushi doodles.
This creator used one of my favorite tricks: making her doodles tiny. This little trick easily makes the doodles look even cuter.
Flowers Cover Page
Flowers are always beautiful in your Bullet Journal, even in November. And this creator added a special twist: a little envelope and the month.
I also like the trick of creating a little outline around the entire page, almost like adding a frame to the illustration in the middle.
Vintage Bullet Journal Idea
The vintage feel of this layout really fits the aesthetic I think of for any Fall month, and I love how creative Natasha is with her themes.
An interesting thing to note here is that she added little tags on the side of her journal page this month so she can easily navigate. Making them in kraft paper fits the theme even better.
Blackout Bullet Journal Ideas
Blackout journal pages can look stunning, and this cover page is no exception. The green color she chose just pops like crazy on the black paper!
I know it can be a bit scary and confusing to work with black pages; I was lost myself. But here is what I recommend: use metallic pens and watercolors. Actually, pretty much anything in metallic colors looks fantastic on black paper.
Secondly – gel pens. Sakura Gelly Roll pens all look bright and clear on black paper; of course, the white one is the staple.
Superhero Bullet Journal Idea
Why not make November a superhero month? You can easily achieve it by just drawing their symbols.
I love how the creator made it stand out by using colors according to each hero and making it look almost like paint splashes.
Cozy November Bullet Journal Ideas
I love the cozy feel of the socks and the beautiful Fall colors of the drawings. I’m also really in love with the use of craft paper. I think it created such a warm atmosphere.
This creator also used acrylograph pens for the drawings (you can get them 10% OFF with my code MASHA10), and as you can see, these paint-based pens create a unique look.
Watercolor Bullet Journal Idea
Want something creative but simple and fast? This is a perfect idea for you; all you need is watercolor and a brush pen.
I always say your writing can be a decoration in itself, and brush lettering is no exception. And watercolor is a fantastic medium – it can be soft and transparent or bright and thick, plus you can play around to create any unique color you want.
Japanese Aesthetic Idea
These were the ideas I tried in November for 2025, and the whole theme was mochi. But sicne mochi is a bit too easy a doodle, I added a few other elements, like dango and sakura flowers.
I think the real key to this theme and to keeping the style is finding the good color combination, and that part actually took me the longest. In case you wonder, I used my Crayola Super Tips here.
Books Bullet Journal Theme
Books are a perfect theme for every month, I think. I love that the creator added book pages as decoration.
This is also a wonderful example of how you can use simple fonts and doodles to create a very stylish, aesthetic layout.
Cozy Fall Bullet Journal Ideas
Julia is an amazing artist, so of course, I wanted to include her cover page in this lineup.
I love that she gathered all the cutest, coziest things on this page. And complimented them so well with the colors.
Disney Theme Idea
For me, it’s Disney all day, every day, so of course, I couldn’t exclude this cover page from the list.
I think this is a fun approach to a Disney theme. If you can’t really draw the characters themselves, you can doodle different other elements, like the red roses and Mad Hatter’s hat for Alice in Wonderland.
Speaking of Disney, I had to include this page, of course!
Beauty and the Beast, the animated 1991 movie, is one of my all-time favorites, and I love how she used the contrast between black and red on this cover page.
Leave your favorite Disney movie in the comments!
November Bullet Journal Theme: Embroidery
I think embroidery is a cozy activity, perfect for those chilly Fall evenings.
This page looks like it was embroidered! And it’s a cool theme idea for using colored pencils, like on this page. Pencils can provide much softer colors that I think work very well for this idea.
Tea November BuJo Theme
Technically, it can be coffee, but it might also work as tea. I like that this creator used really soft colors; it really creates a cozy feeling. The doodles here are pretty easy to copy, too.
Are you more of a coffee or tea person? Let us know in the comments.
If you doubted the previous cover page was tea, this one is surely tea!
I adore that Japanese aesthetics. And green and brown are the two colors that match so well.
Nostalgia Bullet Journal Theme
I love nostalgic themes like this, especially since I am a 90s kid.
It’s also a great excuse to use those bright, almost toxic colors which I usually wouldn’t use.
Landscape November BuJo Idea
Landscapes are always beautiful to create. And they are pretty easy to draw, too.
I love these bright colors; I think this is an interesting color combination, and I love the idea of using non-realistic color.
Scrapbooking Theme
As an ex-scrapbooker, I love this style of Bullet Journaling.
You get to mix all your random supplies and end up with a beautiful spread like this one. The key is to keep it in one color scheme, or at least the same style.
I also like this theme because it lets you pull out stationery you might not usually use (I know stickers and washi tape aren’t something I use too often).
Hygge November Bullet Journal Theme
In case you don’t know, hygge is a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).
For me, it sounds like a perfect theme for November, and you definitely can come up with your own interpretation of what coziness and well-being look like to you.
I wanted to add another hygge theme inspiration, especially because I love these Fall colors.
She put together all the most comfortable things about the cold season – tea, coffee, and books.
November Bullet Journal Idea: Creative Mess
I called this a creative mess, but it’s a mix of lines, shapes, and some watercolor.
I love the freedom this style provides and how, even if you make a mistake, it’s easy to mask it as part of the style.
Cityscape Bullet Journal Cover Page
Cityscape is a theme I have never tried myself, but I always admire it. It’s so beautiful! Especially on this cover page, with that European feel.
I also love that the building colors really match November.
Mushroom Bullet Journal Theme
Mushrooms are a very fun theme because you can play so much with the shapes and colors.
It can be a crazy bright theme or a muted brown one. However you prefer.
Kraft Paper Bullet Journal Ideas
One of the easiest ways to create a cozy feel for your November pages is to use kraft paper for decoration.
I went a little overboard that November since I used my printer and Silhouette machine to cut out more particular things like this header. So really this theme was more about using tech than actually drawing and decorating.
Art Deco Bullet Journal Theme
I love this style because it’s just lines and patterns, but they look stunning! The gold-and-black combination looks amazing and is very on-theme.
Plus, it seems like this creator did something similar to what I did in my previous theme and used a Cricut machine to create the elements for this theme.
November BuJo Idea: Crystals
Crystals are a wonderful theme for any month, I think. The best part is that they are pretty easy to doodle, and there are so many variations you can use with shape and color to make the theme more interesting.
I usually see this theme in blue and purple. But I wonder how it would look in yellow and orange. Maybe I should try it for my November theme this year!
Well, these are all ideas I managed to collect.
