On the other hand… you could go with a desert theme for the month. I love cactus bullet journal spreads and this one is adorable! Plus, if you know me, you know that I love a good drop shadow… I’m definitely going to take inspiration from how they set up the title. Love it!

If you want the minimalist look but don’t want to go 100% basic… this cover page will definitely give you some inspiration! Just like the spread above, I love how they have the August title above the similar calendar and then decorations surrounding that. So if you aren’t a great “doodler” yet, you could use stickers to decorate just like they did
Ice Cream Theme

Ice cream and bullet journals… yes, please! I’m a Ben & Jerry’s lover so it’s no surprise that I love this cover page. But if you aren’t an ice cream lover, I could also see this type of cover page working with other doodles to match your theme. The August title font would look great with anything!

Speaking of blue themes for the month, this night sky cover page is such a cool idea! I love the super deep blue they used paired with the gold for the title and the constellations. If you’re going with an all-blue theme or something to do with space, don’t count this one out!

Floral August Monthly Cover

This floral cover page is adorable! First off, I love the layout with the pastel pink highlight at the top of the calendar. But my favorite part has to be the borders paired with the amazing flower drawings. Keep it cute and pastel this month!
Jungle Monthly Cover

If you liked the bamboo cover page from above, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one too! I love this jungle-themed cover page and it’s only going to look better once it’s all colored in. I’m guessing they’re going to color the leaves different shades of green and leave the August title blank giving it some contrast. But anyway it’s done, I’m sure it will look great!
Space Theme

This August monthly cover is a great example if you want to go with a space theme but don’t like the constellation idea from above! I love the planet and spaceship doodles all over the cover. Plus, the August title would look great on its own as well if you want a more minimal and easy look
