Recently I received an email from Canva, a fee and subscription-based graphics application.

Product Review: Jam Studio Sticker Albums
I try hard not to be the cute-pens-and-stickers kind of person but with companies like Midori making super fun sitckers and JetPens selling these delightful sheets of joy, even I get weak.
