Hey there! I'm sure that if you're like me, you love using your digital planner for everything, from your big dreams to your daily goals. It helps you focus on what is important. So, using stickers in your planners and journal can help add color and provide motivational incentives.

Why do you need stickers?

Think of stickers as emotional support or your own personal cheerleaders. They help keep you motivated and can be used as validation for a job well done when completing a task, helping you track your successes.

Personally, I find stickers helpful, especially on bad days or when I'm writing in my planner or digital journal. Quotes such as "You got this," "You are able," "Be kind to yourself," "Keep going," and "Never ever give up" really boost my mood and encourage me not to give up. There's also my favorite quote from the Bible: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Stickers not only inspire but also make your planner or journal look more decorative, giving it a colorful and beautiful vibe.

Where can you get stickers?

As a creative, I love designing my own stickers using Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. Even if you're not a designer, you can easily create them on Canva, adding a personal touch or meaning, such as religious inspiration quotes.

You can use Canva to get free stickers, although it can be a tedious task. You will have to create individual pages for each sticker, and if you're using a free Canva account, you won't be able to export your stickers with a transparent background.

Here are some places where you can download free stickers:

1. Sticker Marketplaces: 

Websites and online marketplaces dedicated to digital stickers often offer free sticker packs alongside premium options. Some popular marketplaces include Sticker Place, Freepik, and Flaticon.

2. Creative Commons and Open-Source Platforms: 

Websites hosting Creative Commons or open-source content can be a great resource for free digital stickers. Platforms like Pixabay, Openclipart, and Wikimedia Commons offer a wide range of options.

What apps can you use digital stickers on?

For iPhones, iPads, and Mac PCs, you can use GoodNotes. For Android and Windows, you can use Xodo PDF Reader and Editor. Personally, I use the I Love PDF app, which is simple and free for Android. It allows you to add stickers and easily edit PDFs.

Format and size

Most commonly, digital stickers come in dimensions of 8 by 8, 16 by 16, or 32 by 32 inches in size. The file format is usually PNG, with a transparent background.

Conclusion

incorporating stickers into your digital planner or journal can be a fantastic way to stay motivated, track your achievements, and add a touch of creativity and beauty. Whether you create your own stickers or download them from various sources, using apps compatible with digital stickers can enhance your planning experience and make it even more enjoyable. So go ahead and explore the world of digital stickers to personalize your planning journey!
