1 Creative Journals A selection of picture-perfect accounts that explore the increasingly artistic-driven world Instagrams That Inspire

2 Laia Art Laia is an advertising and public relations graduate based in Barcelona. She began her creative journals only a few months ago, using them to express her day-to-day feelings and thoughts and showcasing the results on Instagram. Her energetic artistic style is reflected across the diary pages, which combine colourful illustrations, inspirational quotes and magazine collages.

3 Haley Bullet With 16.2k followers, Haley's Instagram account is full of creative planning ideas and mindful designs. She maintains a minimalist yet romantic aesthetic using delicate floral illustrations and neat hand lettering in monochrome, crisply styled on warm neutral grounds. Within her journals, she highlights her favourite moments, plans ahead, doodles and also creates a Christmas advent calendar.

4 Reham Saudi Arabia-based Reham started painting canvases a few years ago and recently moved to smaller format art journals, integrating quotes, photographs and clippings alongside her work. Her Instagram account curates her artistic notebooks with a strong narrative held by mixing techniques and references: handwritten notes sit alongside torn articles and collected swatches for an inspiring collage aesthetic.

5 Emy, better known as Pentaplans, sees bullet journalling as more of a creative outlet and diary log than a practical time management tool. Her making process and tools take an important place within her uploaded Instagram shots featuring rolls of washi tapes, pens and stamps. A strong and recurring nature-inspired colour palette is found across her feed, driven by a widespread use of kraft paper.

6 Eva Eva Bengtsson is a Swedish list-lover, planner nerd and bullet journalling aficionado, as well as founder of Forevergoodlife. Her journals allow her to set reachable goals while being more mindful and creative in her daily life. To share her love of time-planning, she decided to create and sell a selection of handmade printable goal, workout and weekly planners on Etsy.

7 Sharon Sharon Tan, also known as Ronny Cakes, is a calligrapher and lettering artist based in Kuala Lumpur, with a passion for art journalling and watercolour. The journals keep a creative record of her life everyday moments, experiences and travel memories. With 48.6k followers, Tan's colourful Instagram showcases her daily journal-making process, combining quirky illustrations, quotes and hand-lettering.

8 Tiny A key reference for pattern and brightly styled #artjournalling, this Singapore-based account showcases colourful, loosely structured and highly detailed bullet journals. The diary only represents one element of the densely styled shots: narrative is key here, with a strong focus on the surroundings. An abundance of real-life decor sets the context to the entry, often colour-coordinated for added impact.

9 Bullet Instead of buying ready-made diaries, Warsaw-based Marta Minkiewicz decided to create personalised bullet journals, allowing her to have everything she needed just where and how she needed it. With 12.8k followers, the Instagram account documents her planning, workout routine and even a moon calendar. Marta's minimalist and refined style plays with hints of metallic gold, subtle doodles and diverse fonts.
