Scribbles That Matter Bullet Journals | Dotted notebooks | Dot grid notebook journal | A5 Vegan Hardcover dotted journal notebook for bujo journaling | Dot journal notebook 160gsm Thick paper

Was stuck between this one and the actual bullet journal notebook and Im so glad I made this choice! STM has exceptional quality of paper.

This is my third purchase from STM—all have been the A5 iconic, but in varying colors. Up until this week, I would have told you that the company produced incredible products and that they had one of the most responsive and helpful customer service departments I’d ever had the pleasure of interacting with. NOT ANYMORE. When I received my STM Journal in pink, I was SO excited to get to work on constructing my next bullet journal. Then I opened the package and was severely disappointed. The following are the issues that i found with my purchase: 1. Several of the pages were adhered to each other around the perimeter of the paper. A few actually tore when I was trying to pull them apart, even as gently as I could. 2. Over HALF of the pages are creased in the lower right hand corner. 3. On the interior of both covers, the cardstock that is glued down is improperly positioned— to such a degree that it extends beyond the border of the pink part of the journal and will obviously either tear or bend with any use at all. Multiple corners/edges had this issue. 4. The dot grids on the right pages in the book are all printed unevenly.. causing a difference in height of of over a millimeter from one side of the page to the next. I contacted STM via their Facebook page and quickly received a response. The representative who contacted me never identified themselves but wrote me a message to apologize for the quality control issues and then told me to message them my mailing address and what color I would prefer based on what choices were available on Amazon at that time. They told me I would be mailed a replacement. I did as I was told and sent them a list of my top three colors as well as my address. I did not receive a response to this message. I waited about 3 days and sent another message just to ask if everything was ok. No response. I sent another message or two to ask if my journal was on the way. It has now been two weeks since I sent them my address and my journal preference and I have received NO REPLY! Every couple of days, I would send another one like message just to check in— and still nothing. I finished my last bullet journal weeks ago and have been sitting here staring at this empty, poorly made one that I paid over $20 for and I am really starting to wonder if I should have just stuck with Leuchtturm. Never had a single quality issue there. Really disappointed with you guys, Scribbles That Matter. I expected more.

Okay. Im giving a one star so anyone looking for problems can find them. Honestly this is a product worthy of a much higher rating. First! Pet peeve, All 160 pages are numbered including the index, the key and the test page. Most importantly, and this products biggest downfall is that the pages start at 1 on the left hand page! Im sorry, books are supposed to start numbering pages on page 1, not page 2! That also means that the Journal starts on page 5. Two more things. I didnt realize that the Journal was embossed with Starry Night and shooting stars. This was not clear to me when I bought it. Also, this Journal is about 50% thicker than a standard moleskin even though it is 40 pages shorter. The paper is thick, dark and quality. But seriously who starts counting pages from the left had side? Who made that decision? Why wasnt it corrected or caught? If they do another run of these I hope they at least change that! I could also do without the index, the pre numbered pages and the embossed cover. Just sell a good product, stop trying to be a thing, nobody is getting famous selling journals. P.S. This Journal comes in a box, has two place markers and a place to secure a pen. Besides the painfully stupidly numbered pages this honestly is a great product.

This bullet journal was perfect! The bleed through is minimum. Works well with markers and fine liners!

I’m just finishing a teal STM and have loved using it. The paper weight, the ivory colored paper, the bookmarks and more. So I thought I’d order the pink one this time. The pages just can’t be described as cream or ivory like the pages in the teal colored one. Anyway... still love so much about it, but won’t order the pink again.

Omg!! Absolutely LOVE this book! Exactly what I was looking for. Only downside is I wish I was able to replace the paper when I run out instead of buying an entire new book. But other than that- it’s everything and more for journaling or note taking or whatever you need it for! They thought of everything!

I love this journal! Sturdy cover and paper that feels WONDERFUL!

This is such an awesome journal. Of course I havent used yet but I plan on moving to a new Bullet Journal in May since I already filled mine up. This is a 160 gsm paper super white. I think it comparable to Archer & Olive journals but this one has very small marking on the page that indicate the quarters so its even better in my opinion also with a lower price and mine came with a STM black fineliner in the pen loop! It also comes in a box that you slide into it, not my taste but very protective. I am going to buy another one of this same color (Lavender) since I already started sketching my monthly spreads and it felt so good and such high quality! I am not sure if colors matter but I like the lavender and the white one so Im about to buy a couple more to store it to use it later one.

Christmas present for our daughter. She is enjoying it.

I love this journal. Im using it for my first bullet journal and love it. I wish it came in a dotted version to try. It has thick paper so my pens dont bleed through, wide lines, hard cover, and it stays open on every page.
