Product Description
CREATE THE BULLET JOURNAL OF YOUR DREAMS
Since Bullet Journaling became a thing, Scribbles That Matter have been creating journals specifically to make people's experience amazing. There’s a reason our journals are raved about amongst the journaling community: it’s made with high-quality, buttery-smooth paper that is thick enough to hold up to whatever your creativity demands from it.

We’re on a mission to make journaling an effortless and fun practice - and whether you’re just starting out or have been keeping a journal for a while, we’ve packed lots of features into our journals to make sure yours is just that.

HIGH-QUALITY, THICK PAPERQuality of paper can make or break your journaling practice. For this reason we offer two paper thicknesses: Thick 120gsm paper for traditional journaling with some light marker work and the ultra-thick 160gsm paper that can take on creative mediums. |
PEN + PEN HOLDERWhen inspiration strikes and you feel like journaling, the last thing you want is to not have a pen! We equip our journals with a premium fineliner we call "The Scribbler" and an elastic pen loop that can fit in any pens/markers of your choice. |
TWO BOOKMARKSTwo unique colour bookmarks (ribbed) let you pick up where you left off without flicking through pages every time you open your journal. For example, keep one bookmark in your monthly goal overview page and the other in your daily section. |
ELASTIC BANDDesigned in Britain, we’ve thought about all of the small details that make an STM journal the perfect choice. For example, and elastic band helps keep your journal closed securely so you don't have worries of anything falling out. The binging is 180° lay-flat. |

GHOST PROOF PAPERWhen you spend time putting pen to paper, the last thing you want to see is your ink bleeding through to the other side. We pride ourselves on creating journals that make your musings look incredible - and ink stays exactly where it should be. |
DO NATURE GOODWe take great care in producing our journals from responsible sources. Have peace of mind knowing a part of your hard earned money goes to planting trees across the world for our future generations. |

Here's what I like about the STM journals:
Thick 160gsm pages that do not bleed through. I use a mixture of fountain pens, glass nib pens, brush tip markers, and ink pens for my bullet journals and found these pages do not show ghosting from the opposite page.
Standard grid size of 27 dots across by 39 dots down. I don't have to rethink my layouts that worked in the past. An added bonus is the middle dot is marked by a small line rather than dot, with a + for the absolute middle of the page, so I can quickly find the center of the pages if my design needs to start there.
The STM includes index pages, a back pocket, and pen test pages in the back. The back pocket I can live without since I typically have a cover over my journal, but the pen test pages are nice and the index I would consider recommended in bullet journals.
Some cons:
Cover is soft, which I love, but also will "dent" easily. The rubber closure of the book already created a mark on the binder, but with my journal cover I won't be using the elastic band, and the cover will protect my journal.
I could live without the pen that comes with the book. I have my go-to pens and while it's nice they included a pen, it's not one I would use daily.
The STM journal only has149 dotted pages (not counting index or pen test pages). My Tumbitri Meri had 220 pages (again not including index), with pages at the back that were removable. There are no removable pages in the STM, which is OK but I did like that feature in my old journals.
I have gotten to the point that I don't think one journal will get me through a year of bullet journaling, so I will need at least two for my year. So, for the cost, this journal will be a good alternative, but I wish there was a journal that had about 250 pages. :)
I have had no issues with the glue sticking pages together, but I have only purchased the Pro 160 gsm journal, I don't know if others have had issues with the Iconic or 120gsm books. I have heard others have seen this.
Pages are bright! For me this is not an issue, I can see the dots well, but if others are looking for more off-white or cream pages, this one is not it.
All in all, I recommend the STM books. I love the variety of colors and paper weight choices they have and am overall happy with my switch to these journals. With a few additions (removeable pages, 250 pages total) this journal would be my perfect journal.

Bijna niets zorgt voor 'ghosting', enkel alocholstiften etc
I also really liked the guide that make with it and the hardened storage box is such a nice addition. I bought the embossed scribble cover and it's just beautiful, I get excited just looking at the book!
5* would recommend
