VIVID SCRIBBLES Dotted Journal – 160gsm Bleed Proof Thick White Paper – 200 Numbered Dot Grid Pages – 5.8 x 8.3 inch Dotted Notebook

I am beyond impressed with the quality of this journal. I first love the look and format. I bought this with the intention of crafting a book journal as a Christmas gift for a friend. I love the numbered pages and multiple ribbons. The paper is thick and sturdy and so smooth. I love that the dots are easily visible. There is zero bleed through with any of the pens I am using (microns and papermate ink joy). You have to hold the paper up to a light to even see a faint outline of the page behind it. Pencil erases easily, although my sketching was faint I didn’t test super dark pencil lines. Only thing I wish is that they came on bigger sizes, I would love this quality in a standard paper 8 1/2 x 11 size. But this is the superior quality I am definitely planning to get more.

The way this journal was packaged was super cute, it felt like unboxing a gift! The paper is thick enough to prevent pen bleeding and the pages are numbered, which is handy. They even included a special bonus-with-purchase file for printable journal stickers. How thoughtful! I'm very happy with this purchase.

LOVE my bullet journal. The quality of this journal is outstanding. The pages are thick and bleed-proof. I love that there are pages in the back of the book for a PEN TEST! The pocket in the back was also a plus. I love everything about this journal including the vibrant color!

I purchased this journal last December and have been using it since. The pages are thick and do not bleed through unless you hold it too long. I don't use fountain pens or watercolors so I'm not sure how well the pages would fare though. There are 26 squares across and 39 down with dots spaced 5mm apart. I wish it had an even number of squares going down instead to make it easier to split pages in half horizontally. I like that the journal has dedicated pages for the index and pen test. The blue cover is also a very nice color. Additional nice features are the pen loop, three ribbons, elastic band to keep the journal shut, and some beautiful free stickers. I normally don't like elastic bands on my journals but realized I needed it for this one to keep the journal closed. It would have been better if the three ribbons were a different color to make it easier to differentiate. The journal also came in a very nice box which is great for either storing the journal or repurposing to hold items such as stationery (I've used it to hold my 50 Crayola Super Tips). The first journal I got actually had a blemish on the outside of the pages on the top. However, the seller was very responsible and very kind to send me a replacement journal. They were responsive and regularly kept me updated on status. Definitely 5 stars for customer service. Like another review mentioned, I did start to see some splitting in the binding soon after I started using the journal. However, I've been using it almost daily for six months now and the pages have not fallen out on me yet.

First, this is a beautiful notebook. The cover is solid and nice looking. The pages are thick, there is no pen, marker, or highlighter bleed and when using marker or highlighters it doesn't pull or rip the paper. The pages are numbered, and the paper is really nice. My only issue with this notebook is the fact that there are multiple pages at the beginning of the book that are not dotted and are index pages. I don't want, need, or like index pages, so this was a bit of a bummer for me. However, I ended up turning an index page spread into a future log, so that's my solution to get rid of the index that I wish wasn't there.

I think this notebook is beautiful, the packaging was great and it came with some stickers which I thought was nice. Page thickness and color are amazing. The only thing that I wasn’t a fan of was how dark/big the dots were. This is all personal preference, so if you won’t be distracted by it, this is a great book for you! And is a fair price for the quality of notebook you’re getting.

Absolutely love this journal!!! I got it back in June 2025 and haven’t even hit halfway through. Heavy duty, sturdy, quality paper and cover. Thick enough to where sharpie and stamped ink hardly bleeds to the other page. I will be ordering this from now on for my journaling needs!! I’ve been bullet journaling since 2019 and this is by far the best book I’ve used so far. Big fan.

I journal A LOT, and I have tried a lot of different brands. I also love to be creative in my journal by using markers and paint and pens with juicy ink. Many of my journals have not held up well to that sort of love, but this one does a fantastic job. I love the beautiful, thick pages, and they're great for the paintings I like to do with my nature journaling (I use watercolor and the paper does warp a bit, but that doesn't bother me. And I do have to be careful not to put toooooo much water down, but it handles the water surprisingly well for not being watercolor paper. I haven't tried gouache, but I suspect it would do just fine.) The pens I use don't bleed or ghost through at all, and when I tested a sharpie just out of curiosity, it only created a tiny bit of ghosting. I also love the cover design, and having three bookmarks is so handy. I use one to mark the beginning of each month, one to mark my weekly schedule, and one to keep track of where I am on a daily basis. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it has numbered, non-perforated pages. My one complaint is that I need another page or two in the lined index at the front. Otherwise, this journal is perfect. It comes in a beautiful box that would make it perfect for gifting, or save the box for storing stickers and other journaling supplies. Get this journal. You won't regret it.
