April 2025 Bullet Journal Setup | A Fresh Start for a New Season
April always feels like a turning point. The light lingers, the air softens, and with it comes a sense of renewal. That’s why this month’s bullet journal theme is all about fresh energy—fresh routines, fresh food, fresh projects, and of course, fresh pages.
In this video, I walk through every part of my April setup, from color-coordinated magazine clippings to my peekaboo weekly layouts. If you’re ready for a creative refresh this spring, come journal along with me.

What’s Inside My April 2025 Bullet Journal
– Spring-Themed Cover Page
Using curated clippings in a soft, bright palette, my April cover sets the tone for a hopeful, sunny month. I finished it with washi tape, glitter stickers, and simple collage techniques anyone can try.
– “Table of Contents” + Monthly Bucket List
This page holds my April intentions: from shows and books I’m loving, to a seasonal bucket list and quotes that guide my mindset. Each element reflects the season’s energy—light, open, and fun.
– Monthly Calendar Spread
A practical layout to track appointments, birthdays, and big events. I always add a photo list in the margin to remind me to capture the month as it happens.
– Weekly Spreads with Peekaboo Windows
This is where I journal, scrapbook, and memory-keep day by day. Every square is decorated with layered magazine clippings, stickers, and personal reflections—plus a “Moments to Remember” section I love filling out.
– Feature Spread: Goals + Projects
A flexible layout designed to hold evolving goals throughout the month. I keep the visual layout open-ended, using washi tape to make it easy to adjust and journal beneath the collage layers.
Whether you’re setting goals or just celebrating the season, this month’s layout is meant to feel light, inspiring, and approachable.
If April feels like a reset for you too, I hope this spread gives you ideas for how to journal the energy of the season.
