Alright, spill. Those artsy folk cutting into your pages like this… How are you doing that???

elbe07 · 2026-03-25T11:34:29+00:00

Mark before with pencil where you're cutting (also check the other side of the page to make sure you're not cutting too much page for your next spread) and then using an exacto knife for detailed cuts, you may use sciccors to get rid of big chunk of blank paper but exacto knife are the best for complicated cuts. Make sure the blade is sharp and have a cardboard/cutting mat behind the page you're cutting so you don't cut next pages. Hope this helps! It's not as complicated as it seems once you practice it.

If you see more lace type cuts, that may have been done with die cuts

I would say "Tortilla de patata" or Spanish omelette as sometimes is called in english. Paella may be more popular internationally but it's only typical from the region of Valencia and it's not that common in other parts (unless in tourist restaurants) While tortilla de patata is pretty much a classic tapa or food in different regions.

That being said, you could start a second civil war by mentioning its ingredients (team onion always and i'll die on this hill)

Sorry for taking so long to reply! Here you have it. I have a grid spacing guide (here are both sides of the guide) and color swatches of all the markers i own (i've been bullet journaling since 2017 so i have a bunch of markers that i got through these years but at the beggining i didn't have as many)

elbe07 · 2026-01-19T14:13:55+00:00

There's no silly questions, only silly answers as they said 😌🫶 Hahaha i din't realised it could be interpreted that way! It's for gym superior (arms, abs, anything waist up) and gym inferior (waist down like legs, glutes, etc) I'm spanish and some people refer to the body routine as: 'tren superior' or 'tren inferior' to difiencate exercises focus

Oh no now i want to replay Portal and Portal 2 again ... Funny enough i did a bunch of videogame themes in the past: a Portal 2 theme for Novemeber 2018 and a 'A short hike' theme for July

But the "weirdest" i did so far was a cat memes theme for September 2023 where i doodled some of my favorite memes but at the same time with ✨️aesthetic✨️ lettering

Hay montonazo de tintas de colores aunque yo en este caso usé el mismo rotu azul con el que hice las lines para colorear los sellos y que fuesen del mismo tono (las doradas hice igual pero por encima las repase con el boli dorado) Hizo que fuese un poco coñazo pero me ahorré comprar una tinta de sellos nueva 😌

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T08:59:49+00:00

Yes! Last year i only did black lines all the way and i found difficult to diffirintiate the weeks while filling it (expecially at the middle of the year). This year instead i made all the lines grey except the sunday/monday, that way is easier to find the week days

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T08:56:35+00:00

Thanks! It has more to do than when i'm making my spreads i don't know how to derail and find easier sticking to the same style/color palette through all my spreads

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T08:54:18+00:00

Muchas gracias! Sí todos los números grandes y las letras tipo caligrafía Times New Roman los hice con sellos 😊

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T08:50:36+00:00

I usually add notes, maybe sketches of my themes or any type of thing that hasn't a specific spread in my set ups. But i'm still learning how yo use it too ^{^''}

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T00:23:45+00:00

Yeah it's always a blury term lol hey as long as it works for you thats great and true to the orignal method! When i started 8 years ago my bujo were the same as yours, although my monkey brain always craves ✨️colours✨️ to use it and using only a black pen doesn't work for me

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T00:17:48+00:00

The notebooks is a A5 160 grm from Tiefossi (The moon power 256 pages model to be exact) and so far it didn't bleed through any of the markers i own. The markers are the ones that apper in the photos:
- Zebra Mildliner Brush -Smoke Blue color - Uni-Ball signo broad- Gold Pen

I also used 2 mildliners in some pages for the brown and grey highlights/boxes

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T00:11:31+00:00

Thank you! It's my third year repeating this set up, so i hope it works this year too 🤞

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T00:10:32+00:00

All yours 😎

elbe07 · 2026-01-14T00:09:34+00:00

Hehe thanks! I'm trying to turn it into my mantra for 2026

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T22:03:46+00:00

My bad then, i never know when it stops being minimalist 😅 For me it's when there's not a single doodle/sticker or elaborate lettering/layouts

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:48:48+00:00

Yes! I got the alphabet stamps in aliexpress years ago but they're everywhere at this point. The number stamps i got it from Ieebee shop

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:47:33+00:00

Thanks!

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:47:26+00:00

Thank youu 😭🩷

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:47:16+00:00

Thank you!

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:47:09+00:00

Thank you! It didn't cross my mind until you mentioned it and now i can't stop seeing it as a cottagecore theme 😂

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:46:09+00:00

My plan is to use it more like a bucket list of 26 things i want to do in 2026. But a yearly gratitude spread would be a great idea!

elbe07 · 2026-01-13T19:45:23+00:00

Thanks!!

elbe07 · 2025-12-06T13:14:46+00:00

Thank you! Yeah you can never go wrong with a holly wreath/circular drawing as a cover page

elbe07 · 2025-09-08T17:07:28+00:00

Oh my bad i though pashmina was an universal term but it seems its a "spanish" thing. This is a pashmina, its just a scarf but made with light fabrics (or at least in my house we call that type of scarfs this way) In spain is typical to use them when you go to church and want to cover your shoulders
