Wimbledon is synonymous with a lot of things: grass courts, Pimm’s, all-white outfits and, most significantly, strawberries! I’ve done some pretty explicitly ‘Wimbledon’-themed bullet journal setups in the past (see my July 2023 setup here on the blog) , but this year I wanted something a little more subtle, so I decided to really embrace the strawberry vibe and make a whole setup dedicated to the fruit!

After the rather… labour-intensive… process of my 2025 Mid-Year Bullet Journal Setup, I desperately needed something quick and easy for this month and this might just be my quickest and easiest bullet journal setup yet! It uses just 5 pieces of equipment (3 pens, 1 pair of scissors and 1 corner rounder, to be exact) and I set the whole thing up in one speedy sitting. The dream!

Equipment

To make this setup, I used the following equipment:

• Crayola SuperTips, red & green.
• Sakura Pigma Micron black fineliner, size 10.
• Scissors.
• Corner rounder.

That’s it!

Cover Page

I saw this bullet journal page on Pinterest recently and really loved how the strawberries were drawn, so I wanted to mimic that style in my own setup. To draw the strawberries, I doodled some slightly rounded triangle shapes with my red Crayola SuperTip, added some leaves with the green SuperTip, then used my black Sakura Micron pen to doodle the outline over the top. It was so easy and, as an added bonus, they were supposed to look wonky, so I didn’t have to worry about making them perfect!

For the Cover Page, I doodled a wave of strawberries right across the double-page spread, then wrote the ‘July’ heading in the space at the bottom right, using my Sakura Micron. I had initially planned to add a ‘Things to Look Forward to’ section on the left-hand page, as I did with my June Setup, but I really liked how this spread looked as it was: super clean and minimal, so I opted to leave that section out and give it its own page later on!

Monthly Calendar

Onto the Monthly Calendar now and I’ve used my classic grid layout (where each box is 6×6 dot grid squares). Instead of drawing out all the lines, I opted to just mark the corners of each box using my Sakura Micron, which really did help to speed up the process. I added a tiny strawberry doodle to the top right of each box, then wrote the corresponding dates over the top (this was a slightly less speedy/minimal decision, but I think that it does look kind of cute!). To finish off this page, I added some more strawberry doodles around the edge of the calendar, plus the ‘July’ title at the bottom.

Things to Look Forward to + Daily Sunshine

Now we come to the aforementioned Things to Look Forward to page! I kept this page super simple, just putting the heading in the middle (using a mix of fonts, which I LOVE doing!), then adding a couple of strawberry doodles for good measure. I’ll fill the blank space around the heading with little notes of all of the things I have to look forward to in July: I did this last month and really enjoyed having it there, so I wanted to include it this month too!

Alongside that page is my Daily Sunshine spread, which has been M.I.A. for a few months, but is back now! I’d been having trouble keeping up with spreads like this that require consistent, daily input, so I took a little break from it to relieve some of the (completely self-inflicted) pressure. I’m determined to get back into it though and, so far this month, it’s been going well! Each day, I write down one positive thing that happened: a little ray of daily sunshine. This is a great mindfulness exercise, plus it’s super nice to look back at and see a whole cluster of positive things in one place.

Weekly Spreads

Into the Weekly Spreads now and, as always, I’ve trimmed down the central pages to make room for master task lists on either side of my daily boxes. I used my corner rounder on the trimmed down pages to soften them up (and reduce my risk of paper cuts, because I have a deep, irrational fear of paper cuts…).

Much like with my Calendar spread, I just marked out the corners of all of the boxes in these spreads, as opposed to drawing out the full lines. I think this is perhaps more effective here than in the calendar, because the boxes are larger and more spaced out, so the pages look less overcrowded.

For all of the headings/subheadings in this section, I used a combination of a block capitals and a cursive-style font, both written using the same Sakura Micron pen. I love combining fonts like this: I think it adds interest and makes everything look just that little bit more fancy!

In each daily box, I added a large dot of red/green (alternating the colours as I went) using my Crayola SuperTips. I wrote the corresponding initial of the day of the week and the date itself over the top of those dots, using my Sakura Micron.

On the final weekly spread, I included the first 3 days of August, just because I quite like being able to see the whole week at a glance, even when it falls across two months.

July Review

The final spread in this setup is my July Review page, which contains all the same elements as its previous iterations in recent months.

On the right-hand page, I have the heading (written in that same combination of fonts, using my Sakura Micron) and another cascade of strawberry doodles. This leaves me plenty of space to stick in a polaroid from the month: the strawberry doodles decorate the page in the meantime and will still peek through around the polaroid, decorating the page later on too, even when it has been filled in!

On the left-hand page, I have my typical 4 sections: ATP & WTA Top 10, #1 Memory and July Playlist. The tennis top tens are just for fun, because I like to look back at them and see how they’ve changed over the year. The #1 Memory is a fun way for me to sum up the month gone by and the July Playlist allows me to keep track of my favourite songs throughout the year (I have space to jot down my top 6 songs from the month!).

To tie the left-hand page into the rest of the setup, I’ve used the same Sakura Micron to write all of the headings and mark out the boxes, added more strawberry doodles and used my red and green Crayola SuperTips to highlight the different subheadings throughout.

Final Thoughts

This setup was so unbelievably easy to create (and actually very freeing— as I said, the strawberries are supposed to look messy and imperfect, which means, excitingly, you have to be messy and imperfect when you doodle them!). I love the minimal vibe it has going on: it’s clean and modern, but also fun and whimsical (strawberry doodles have that effect), which I think is such a fun, unexpected combination.

I realise I’m posting this setup quite late in the month (naturally, I fell behind), but it’s nice because I can also tell you how functional I’m finding this setup: as I mentioned, I have actually been keeping up with my Daily Sunshine page so far and I’ve found the clean, minimal vibe super conducive to effective planning and organising!

All in all, I really like this setup (and I like it all the more for how easy and speedy it was to create!). I hope you do too!
