A simple design - It’s cute and easy to recreate! Add stars to the page and draw straight lines to the top of the page so they appear to be dangling. Then, add a calendar below.

Get creative and draw something inspiring to kick off the new year. Minimallyse drew a bridge surrounded by buildings against the nighttime sky. January is written in gold across the bottom and outlined in black.

Stars in black and gold create a wreath around the month. This sweet and easy to draw layout also has a plan with me video (shown below).

Create a minimalist spread for the upcoming month. On the left page, create a simple future log for the year by adding a column with the first letter of each month. Then you can write upcoming events next each appropriate month’s letter.

On the right is the January cover/calendar page. The month is surrounded by an elegant botanical wreath and then the calendar is below it.

Here’s another minimalist cover page that I’m swooning over. The January calendar is in the center of the page and then it’s surrounded by fairy lights.

Snowy January is captured perfectly on this cover page. Snow capped bubble letters set the tone for a wintry month. The top and bottom of the page are edged with washi tape.

An inspiring quote for the new year, “Cheer to a new year & another chance to get it right” is drawn on the left page. On the right is a January cover page with a mountain and pine tree illustration. Metallic blue pen is used to pop some of the words.
