So this year is the first year that I’ve really tried to go all out in my journaling. I find myself using my Paper Republic calendar more for work and everyday to dos, but I’m enjoying trying to jot down a few bullet points each day in a journal I’m keeping (and so far I haven’t missed a day!).
This has meant that I’ve also been looking for some visual elements to add to my journal. I already loved washi tape and had several rolls, but my knitting group started discussing stickers and I appear to have fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole. Here are a few of the things I’ve bought (and of course handy shopping links for you as well!)
First up, I have to shout out Symposi Press. While the shop is current closed for medical leave, the owner is a knitter and I have some lovely knit night stickers from her. I also see yarn ball, sweaters and more in her sold items. I can’t wait for her to come back so I can purchase a few more items!
Whimsy Inkk kind of has my heart. From skulls to mermaids to holidays and farm animals, I sort of want one of everything in her shop! And these aren’t just labels, they’re high quality glossy stickers!
Etsy really is a treasure trove of sticker makers. When I wanted something simple and easy for holidays and to do lists, Jude Anne Designs let me choose fonts and colors and ordering was easy!
I’ve got a few more things on order that I’ll share in the future, but I have to ask. Do you use stickers? Who are your favorite artists to support?
I got the one of the Stickii (https://www.stickiiclub.com/) advent calendars on a whim, and it was SUCH a daily pleasure. I barely know where to begin with my new pile of stickers! They’re all great.
I love the farm animals and tea pots and cups. Lately I’ve been enjoying rub-on stickers. I journal in a 52 gsm Tomoe River notebook, so the thinner the ephemera the better, and the rub-on stickers are soooo thin on the page.
