Discover the lovely new collection of covers for your custom planner, journal or notebook brought to you by the British artist Emma Block!

Inspired by Emma’s travels in Southern Europe, these magical illustrations invite you to explore the charming, colorful houses of Portugal and Spain, beautifully captured by Emma.

These buildings have a certain ambience, making you feel relaxed and joyful: rustic apartment buildings surrounded by potted plants and laundry lines, and cozy cafés with outdoor seatings hiding under the sunshades.

Explore Emma Block’s captivating cover collection and find your new favorite cover for your next planner or journal! Discover more customizable options for your planner, such as layout, starting month, daily and weekly trackers, and plenty of extra pages in our easy-to-use design tool.

Emma’s illustrations are available in our design tool at steps 1 and 3 under the “Collaborations” category.

Emma Block has been working professionally as an illustrator since she was 17, amassing vast experience in publishing, licensing, editorial illustration, and teaching.

A passionate lover of color and texture, Emma draws her inspiration from her travels. When she’s on holiday, she loves bringing her sketchbook and paints along to sketch as she sees it.

Just like us, Emma is a planner person. The classic journal layout, with lots of space for daily to-do lists is her favorite. She believes that writing everything down physically in her planner keeps her organized and motivated. At the beginning of each week, she makes an extensive to-do list, which she keeps coming back to every morning, crossing things out as she goes along. “This is the first thing I check when I sit down at my desk in the morning; I love seeing how much I’ve achieved in the day”, Emma shares.
