With a new month just around the corner, I’ve added the free printable September monthly cover to the Planner Lovers Resource Library, ready for you to download and enjoy.

Whether you keep it clean and minimal or decorate with your own colors and embellishments, each cover offers a fresh beginning.

September’s Free Printable monthly Cover

This month’s cover continues the familiar hand-drawn, minimalist style. The circle is scattered with flowers and leaves, creating a design that feels light, simple, and a little playful. It’s perfect to paste into your journal or planner as a title page, monthly divider, or just a creative touch to inspire your September setup.

Leave it minimal, or add color like I have using Shuttle Art Pastel Alcohol Markers. I love how soft and blendable these colors are – they give the page a calm, gentle look without overpowering the design. If you decide to use alcohol markers, just a quick tip: use light pressure and avoid coloring right up to the edge of the lines, as the ink can sometimes bleed a little and will fill the space on its own. It’s a simple trick that keeps everything looking neat.

Journaling Prompts for September

September often feels like a transitional month – a shift in seasons, routines, and energy. Use these prompts to guide your reflections:

• What routines or habits do you want to strengthen this month?
• Where in your life are you craving more balance?
• Write about a small joy you’d like to carry with you into the new season.
• How have you grown or changed since the start of the year?
• What’s one simple intention you’d like to focus on this month?

Tips for Journaling & Planning in September

• Embrace transition: Whether you’re moving into autumn or spring, take time to reflect on what this season shift brings for you – energy, moods, and priorities.
• Simplify your pages: Don’t feel pressured to fill every spread. A few meaningful pages, like your cover, a gratitude list, or a habit tracker, can keep your journaling intentional and calm.
• Check in with yearly goals: September is a good moment to revisit what you set out to do earlier this year. What’s working? What needs adjusting?
• Mark the small things: Use your journal to note little details you’re noticing in your days – the weather, a conversation, or a personal win.
