This is my favorite type of video in your lineup. I learn a lot and appreciate your thought process. I also am aware how difficult these are to do for you, so thank you for trusting us Mary Ellen.
I just want to say thank you for taking your time and explaining how you do your journals. You are very creative. I just found you. I have been trying to get back to journaling and by watching your videos you have inspired me. I don't know what is going on in your personal life. Just know that God is always with you.
This spread is gorgeous! I really wish my spreads looked like this. I try but they never look as good as yours 😊 I love the fact that u share so much with us. I really appreciate it. Thanks for all u do 🥰
Oh my goodness, Mary Ellen! I don't know why I'm just watching this video, but this was SO EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I have been trying to get my ADHD and OCD to stop taking over and figure out how to fill out spreads in a way that my brain can actually stand to look at! You explained it so simply, yet it was so informative. Thank you soooo much! I am trying to create a grief journal without it being so "blah"....and you just helped me get things started....FINALLY! (I know grief is sad and depressing to listen to or to deal with, but its something we a face. You discussing it in any amount is beyond appreciated! I would love tobwatch any video you make about it, even if it's just creating the spreads "before the pen".) Thanks sooooo much!
Your After the Pen in your journal videos are my favorite!!! I learn something new each time!!!!!😊😊
Hi 👋 Kathy how are you doing?
Hope you don’t mind if I subscribe to your channel
Absolutely love that you articulated the detailed thought and creative processes involved in designing a page. We often do these things without realizing, and I have never watched a video of anyone explaining it as well as you have.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I am now subscribed, and I can’t wait to go through all of your park videos, and watch new ones!!
Well done!!!
Literally love every single video of yours! I know you said in one that you do your nails at home. It would be sooooooo awesome if you did a tutorial. They always look SO GREAT! Thanks for all your amazing content!!!! ❤
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve watched for first video about creative planning multiple times. It has been so helpful in my own journey and I really appreciate you sharing. Thank you!! Take good care.
I’m glad it’s helpful!
What an awesome spread! Thank you for sharing. I'm new to HP and I love it. Bought a planner for my son's girlfriend and we are going to work on our planners when I go visit.
Hi 👋 Suzy how are you doing? Hope you don’t mind if I subscribe to your channel
I’m glad I found this. Something about this style really resonates with me. 💙
This video was so helpful! Your explanation of which words you highlight or emphasize really made sense to me.
Your different styles of writing add so much personality. I love how they make the spread look. I am trying to do something similar as plain old printing gets boring. Thanks for the ideas.
Thank you, Mary Ellen, for walking through your process. Your creative journal spreads are so inspiring. I know that grieving is so hard! When I lost my younger brother to MS I felt so guilty anytime I was happy. It’s a long, slow process and is so different for each person. You and I are close in age(I’m a couple years older than you) and I can relate to so many things you talk about on your channel, you’re doing a great job and you are truly a blessing to so many. Keep the beautiful work my friend, you’re awesome!💕
Yayyy for backplanning. I do the same thing more often than not.
I love it. Purple and green are my favorite colors.
Thank you for sharing this process. I could not conceptualize how to get started creative journaling. I’ve only just written in previous journals. This opened my minds eye and creative eye as well. Thanks again.
Yesss! Moody but hopeful! I felt that!!! ❤❤❤
Love how you explained your process for filling the last two days and creating balance. I do the color without thinking, but had not thought of all of those other ways to balance!
Glad it helped!
This was SOOO helpful! Thanks for sharing.
I love it too and yes, it was very helpful. Thank you!!
Absolutely love your journal videos. So many great ideas and tips.
I agree. This is a gorgeous spread.
I am so happy you did this video - so so helpful!! I’ve been wanting advice on this exact subject. Thank you❤️
I love this spread and also really enjoy the after the pen videos. Very inspiring.
Thanks for this video,you gave me so much ideas 💡!!!
You always give me inspiration when I watch your videos! Your strength is amazing :)
Loved how this came out. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Oh my gosh I just connect with your personality so much. Thank you so much for making these videos. I appreciate them so much! Can I say "so much" again? Probably. Ha! ANYWAY. THANK YOU!
Haha thank you!
Thanks for sharing these tips! Very helpful….and I adore this spread 🥰
Love it!! I love how you emphasize some of your words, going to try that.
Mary Ellen, thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy and learn a lot from them every time. Your accent is fab and your voice is so easy to listen to. I’m a homebody too and your stories resonate with me. You are on my heart because of your grief and your honesty 😘
This is such a gorgeous spread!! I love how you share your thought process along the way!!
I definitely enjoyed this video…I’ve been considering journaling and this provided so much inspiration. Thank you MaryEllen.
😂🤣don't say a word 😂 haha your videos are so lovely to watch/listen to. I love the creative journaling tips,, your spread is beautiful,, I always watch to the end... Keep up the great work
Beautiful! Have been wanting to start a creative journal and found this very helpful. Thanks :)
Absolutely beautiful spreads😊
This was very helpful. I’m so new to HP.. and I want to journal my days and I love the full effect!
This is so pretty I love the colors, thank you for sharing your process on how you choose what you write in your journal 📓, I am trying to learn how to journal and practice my writing ✍️
I really enjoy watching your after the pen spreads. I like the prompts about what you did, how you felt, and then other little things to mention.
This spread is awesome, as usual! Love how creative you are using different lettering, different shaped boxes, different colors, etc, etc, etc! Everything just falls perfectly in place! Thanks for sharing!
Loved this video. Blessings to you
I really like when you explain different things to journal about. I try to fill my spreads too, but my brain doesn’t always remember little things that I could add. You help me out a lot. Thanks!
It cheers me up just looking at your spreads. I have not done one yet but I am close. Yours look so beautiful, balanced, colorful, memorable!!
Thanks for sharing in more detail how you balance your ink colors and use different lettering and pen sizes to create more texture in your spreads. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the inspiration Mary Ellen.
Thanks x Sharing ❤great tips
Thank you for doing these Creative Journaling videos, I know they're hard for you to do and to be vulnerable to a group of strangers. They have helped me a lot, I've actually started my own this year, I love seeing your tips and tricks.
I’m glad they help! It can be weird, yes, but I know it helps so I keep doing it
🤩 that's a great spread Mary Ellen, I love to journal about my day, thoughts and feelings but it never looks as good as this 😄
Love this spread I’m learning I’m a beginner hope to see more of this so helpful and it helps so so much hope to see much more on this please your great and I also am a homebody as well I have ADHD & ADD both unfortunately .I must say this was very helpful to me ur definitely detailing helps so much all of it help me and inspire me pls but more of thing like this out I’m not sure what to write how to not write the things etc. But thks great job and pls give use more of this it’s beautiful and real thks hope all is better in all things in life .
Thank you so much for this video. I have decided to use one of my outdated planners as a journal like this. I can just redate them! I have depression and anxiety issues and I think it would be helpful to be able to get what I am feeling out on paper. And I love the idea of being able to decorate it according to my feelings. I was wondering what to do with the planners I have on my shelf.....NOW I KNOW!!!! thank you! :)
I can really feel you in this one. Your honesty is so refreshing. I never thought about writing the bigger/ colorful words first and then filling in the rest. That makes so much sense! The storm clouds in this one are so telling, and really beautiful. Thanks for always being you and for sharing with us. 💛
❤️❤️❤️
You are in my prayers, you are allowed to feel everything you feel whenever. Truly I will be praying for you. Much love.....
Very helpful! I never know what to include besides regular journaling.
Just found you a week or so ago. The spread is gorgeous and you are awesome. I too experienced a mind blowing loss of my husband 22 years ago and in December this past year, at the VERY young age of 63 was diagnosed with ADHD. So I kinda get where you're coming from but you seem to be handling everything more gracefully than I ever could. Keep teaching and entertaining and I'll keep watching.
Thanks for more tips.
Love the spread too. I want to buy the sticker books cause I love the storm clouds!
Thank you for sharing your videos
Currently working on filling up spreads. Back planning n my journal
So helpful!!!
You literally make total scene to me!!! I also have ADHD we have a similar way of thinking!! 💖
I like how you journal in your planner. I’ve been stuck on how to use my current planner,but now I know what I want to do. Also…I used to live near, and worked at a couple different places in Exton, years ago…I wonder if it’s the same area.
I'm going to start doing these pages with a Happy Planner classic planner. Very nervous but you and another CZcamsr make it look so easy. Ugh!!! I just can't be hard on myself and I need to use up stickers that I heard. Lol
Very helpful
I’ve been doing a creative journal inspired by your style since mid-21. Originally I was in a classic vertical ad I did love it. But this year i switched to an A5 bound book (repurposing) an outdated Hobonichi Day Free (#useyourstash) and love it. It’s a little smaller and a little more challenging to sticker I think because it’s got less space and no columns but its still so much fun. I share sometimes on IG too.
Mary Ellen I have told you this before but I love you so much! I get you girl! You and me are going through crap things that suck, but we also got this! Ya’ know! Sending all my love and a hug to you! ❤️
Hugs to you too!
I love the idea of daily journaling, but always think I wouldn't have anything to say. Thanks for showing your process. ♥️♥️♥️
Do you ever watch Ali Edwards videos? She's a scrapbooker, but one of her common recommended prompts is "facts and feelings." Your video reminded me of that prompt.
I know who she is but I’ve never seen a video of hers. I just know her from “one little word.” I’ll check her out.
Thank you for this video. I learned to let myself be creative and stop criticizing my creative method. I don't know why, but doing my planner, journal or anything that I have to write gives me anxiety. Maybe because it makes me vulnerable. Anyways, thank you! You are amazing!
It’s only you who is watching!
This was very inspirational for me as I started doing to create a journal mine still looks really messy because I haven’t done the extra big letters eating like that but thank you I really appreciate it with all the anxiety relief that I’ve been going through over the last year and then my sister passed away last Saturday has just been a lot though thank you really helped me
I’m so sorry for your loss
@@PlanningwithBumble thank you. I understand how the grief comes and go. I’m heading into the one year anniversary of when my grandchildren were killed. Here lately it breaks my heart when my two year old grandson sees Emi and Teddy’s picture and he says their name. He won’t remember the time he spent with them. But I have pictures and we talk about them all the time. He’s my salvation. My heart goes out to you. I wish you comfort and peace. ❤️
@@yarnietails_creates same to you 💔
❤❤❤
Good Morning!! Such an amazing spread!! I love how creative you are. Love how much there is on this spread.
I have a question/need help. I would like to use a Happy Planner I got on sale for planning and documenting a month long craftathon (MakinInMay) I'm hosting. Total planner newbie.
Happy Crafting and God Bless
Thanks for watching! Not sure what you mean but of course you can use it for that! Keep watching for inspo 😘
Here is the link to my video explaining MakinInMay czcams.com/video/bNpPdUr4W8g/video.html
Ok I agree HP should do a book for less “happy” things but even better…what if Mary Ellen did one??? I’d buy that! Yeah like you need one more thing on your list. Just saying though….😘
Love! I started a journal planner this year, after watching your journal from last year. I wish Happy Planner had more mental health stickers and pain..l suffer from fibromyalgia and all the emotions..a sensitive soul..I am so sorry about all the grief your going through..life is so hard. I feel like the older l get the harder it is..Next month l am going to be 50 🤫 How did that happen....
It comes so fast!
I’m not old and I have reading glasses it’s ok even some kids have to have them dont feel bad about it I’m 26 and have bad vision and blind if I don’t wear glasses have to wear glasses in general just to see but just recently have needed reading glasses your very lucky to have your vision you have im pretty much blind like blurry blind with out and glasses could not see anything without them 😢thank you I just enjoy watching your videos but I have to wear glasses everyday all day I had to have glasses since very young I have just had to except that I have to wear them I can’t wear contacts unfortunately either 😢 wish you well even threw Covid it was hard but got threw it
✂️✂️✂️✂️
I just want to say that statement in your journal is so true in every way..."Grief is a Bitch". Isn't it though..no other way to state it. It hurts, it's cruel and it sucks.
Truly.
Yes yes yes to grief stickers.
Watch Planning With Bumble Creative Journal video ✅. Like the video ✅. Get Lots of useful and inspiring information ✅. Start my own creative journal ✅. Be patient with my self, it won’t look as great as Mary Ellen’s ✅😁.
I’m happy I inspired you!
@@PlanningwithBumble As always! Duh!!!
